The program is coordinated by Ross Edwards & Craig Snudden from Engadine West PS and Lisa Wright from Banksmeadow PS.

The Engadine West students presented on www.xtranormal.com a great animation website that teachers can integrate into any curriculum area. Banksmeadow students presented on www.glogster.com, a wonderful presentation tool for students and teachers. Both teachers have spent a lot of time promoting the program on www.yammer.com the DET's social networking and professional development site. Both schools rehearsed prior to the presentation and the standard of the presentation from the students were excellent. The main aims are to promote student centered learning, the use of technology in the curriculum, giving students a state wide audience to present their work and to encourage other schools to lead the RAMS sessions.

Martin Lauricella from the Connected Classrooms said "This is the first student run video conferencing that he has heard of in NSW, it is a great initiative" Teachers can find out more on the RAMS wiki http://ewpsrams.wikispaces.com/ or the RAMS blog https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/blog/166147-ewpsrams/
