Teacher Training

The use of technology provides many new opportunities for teaching. The success of school implementation depends crucially upon the vision and actions of the teacher. Teachers need to realise the benefits of technology for improving students’ understanding. The effective use of technology requires the development of skills, some of which are specific to software and hardware, and some to pedagogy and practice of science.
Our ultimate goal is the use of technology in real science classrooms. To achieve this goal we cooperate with the different stakeholders in education: educational authorities, schools, teachers, teacher trainers, and researchers.
To help schools and teachers to incorporate technology in their teaching and to use modern teaching methods we offer teacher workshops and in-service training in the Netherlands but also internationally.
