Why schools want a Mobile Education Pack…..

As part of our mobile phone recycling campaign we are providing Mobile Education Packs to schools.

MOBILE EDUCATION PACK contents:

Apple iPad
LED Projector
Loud Speaker
Protection Case
Stylus Pen
iTunes Voucher
Screen Overlay
'Woohoo' Certificate

With these packs a teacher can use the iPad, hook it up to the speaker and projector and all the students can benefit from interacting with the device. It is giving Teachers an extra tool to engage children in an interactive learning environment. All of this for 250 phones!

Also, the 97 schools that have gotten one of these packs are also entered into a draw 'Win a resource teacher for a year' which will take place next September. Any school that submits 50 phones is automatically entered into this draw as a bonus to getting their gift item.

There is more information available on both the 'Family Gifts' and 'School Gifts' available on our new website dedicated to the mobile phone campaign, www.autismirelandphones.ie.

Win a Resource Teacher for your school!!

Would you like to win a Resource Teacher for your School?

Irish Autism Action are offering Irish schools the opportunity to gain valuable resources such as interactive whiteboards, laptops, sporting equipment and a host of other gifts in exchange for the collection of old mobile phones. Not only is this kind to the environment but it also helps Irish Autism Action in its mission to raise the quality of life for individuals and their families affected by autism.

This year, any school collecting over 50 phones will be entered in to a prize draw where IAA will pay for a resource teacher / SNA / classroom assistant for 10hrs per week for the winning school for the 2012 school year!

To get you started, we will send out a starter pack consisting of a collection box, posters, collection bags and parent’s letter. All you need to do is send a letter and collection bag home with each student. They then deposit an old mobile phone in the bag with their name and address and return to the school. As an incentive for parents, all bags returned will be entered into a draw to have their mortgage paid for a year!

So there are lots of great reasons to support Irish Autism Action this year. If you have any questions or would like more information on how to partake, please email geraldineP@BPI.ie or phone on 01 427 9790.
