Sometimes we travel to to other European countries, but sometimes the Europe comes to us. This happened within the latest FCL course which hosted 33 teachers from 11 European countries. The teachers participated in the course "eTwinning in the future classroom" that had an emphasis on eSafety.
How to feel more positive about learning and technology?
Sometimes we travel to to other European countries, but sometimes the Europe comes to us. This happened within the latest FCL course which hosted 33 teachers from 11 European countries. The teachers participated in the course "eTwinning in the future classroom" that had an emphasis on eSafety.
The course lead Bart Verswijvel tells: "I want the participants to go home with skills and ideas that teachers can put into practice the next day. But of course we also want a long term change. The FCL courses can inspire in the teachers a new view and attitude on teaching. After the course they most likely feel they are more connected to enthusiastic colleagues from across Europe. I can tell from my own experience that active participation in networks like eTwinning and Partners in Learning leads to continuing professional development of the best kind."
The special thing about taking a course in the Future Classroom Lab is that teachers can try out with their own hands a wide range of tools and software. When going back to school they can better evaluate the needs their school has and what they should invest on.
One of the teachers tweeted after the course: Home after a very successful trip to Brussels for #etwinfcl, learned loads, met great people & feel more positive about technology + education
