About About iTEC Updated September 2014 In iTEC (Innovative Technologies for Engaging Classrooms, 2010-2014), European Schoolnet worked with education ministries, technology providers and research organisations to transform the way that technology is used in schools. Over the course of the project, educational tools and resources were piloted in over 2,500 classrooms across 20 European countries, with the goal of providing a sustainable model for fundamentally redesigning teaching and learning.

Konsten att rita en skola « 8/11 « Arkiv « Tidskriften Rum Öppenhet, transparens och mötesplatser. Det är nyckelorden för landets nya skolhus. Men hur bra fungerar öppna ytor och glasväggar när de pedagogiska pekpinnarna åter riktas mot katedern? Låga tegellimpor, trånga korridorer och otillgängliga lärarrum. Den här typen av byggnader utgör fortfarande en överväldigande del av det svenska skolhusbeståndet. I Stockholmsförorten Upplands Väsby öppnar det kommunala gymnasiet i höst i en helt ny byggnad. Arkitekturen präglas av öppenhet, synlighet och starka färger. – Varje program har en så kallad teamlokal, med tillgång till klassrum, miniaulor, grupprum och öppna studieplatser. Eftersom det sedan 20 år tillbaka är kommunerna som har ansvaret för skolan i Sverige är det upp till dem att prioritera hur viktig elevernas och lärarnas arbetsmiljö är. Men det är inte bara pengar som saknas. Att vissa kommuner ändå lägger resurser på nya eller ombyggda skolhus kan förklaras med den rådande konkurrenssituationen. – Mobbningen försvinner nästan.

User Generated Education News SEK Atlántico can truly be said to be an iTEC success story. Located in Pontevedra, Galicia, along Spain’s north-western coast, the school has over 600 students, from infants through to 12th grade. Since its founding in 1989, the school has always sought ways to introduce innovation to its teaching and learning. SEK Atlántico has been involved in the iTEC project since the launch of the project in 2010, and started off with just one teacher. Since then, 18 pilot classes have taken part in all four of the project’s cycles. Students also experienced an improvement of their test results, a higher level of engagement in classroom activities, and a greater awareness of their own learning management. According to Cristina Márquez, Deputy Head of Learning and Development at SEK Atlántico, the iTEC experience has been very rich for the whole school community.

ToonDoo - World's fastest way to create cartoons! The Flip: End of a Love Affair A little over a year ago I wrote a postabout the flipped classroom, why I loved it, and how I used it. I have to admit, the flip wasn’t the same economic and political entity then that it is now. And in some ways, I think that matters. Here’s the thing. When I wrote that post, I imagined the flip as a stepping stone to a fully realized inquiry/PBL classroom. What is the flip? The flipped classroom essentially reverses traditional teaching. When I first encountered the flip, it seemed like a viable way to help deal with the large and sometimes burdensome amount of content included in my senior Biology & Chemistry curricula. My flipped experiments I first encountered the flip in a blog post. My students loved the idea of trying something that very few other students were doing. We began to shift As I shifted my classroom from teacher-centred to student-centred, my students began to do lots of their their own research. What was my role? The flip faded away The flip is gone for good No.

ParticipatoryDesignWorkshopGuidelines – iTEC WP3 version 3.0 3rd cycle guidelines ¶ The PD workshop protocol has not changed significantly from the 1st and 2nd cycle. If you facilitated a PD workshop in the 1st or 2nd cycle, you already know what to do. Preparations ¶ Translate the scenarios that you will cover in your workshop into the native language of the teachers. Participants ¶ 1 Researcher / designer. 2-3 Teachers. Equipment ¶ Note book and a pen for you. Space ¶ The space should be — if possible — teachers' authentic working environment, such as a classroom or teachers' office. Time ¶ The session will last about of 2-3 hours. Process ¶ 1. Introduce yourself and the iTEC project (just a name and european r&d project). 2. Give the first scenario to the teachers (one copy for each) to read it through. 3. Ask the participants if they now have an idea what kind of technology we are developing in the project. 4. Ask participants to write down their email addresses and ask if we may ask them more questions later in the process. 5.
