SCIENTIX WORKSHOP: • Activities on sharing STEM / Scientix resources that could be applied in eTwinning projects Dr. ÀguedaGras-Velázquez, Victor J. Pérez-Rubio & Prof.Albert Gras i Martí 08/06/2012
European Schoolnet (EUN) Promoting the use of ICT and digital technologies in the classroom Promoting the European dimension in schools Network of 30 Ministriesof Education in Europe Improving the quality of education in Europe Three areas of interest: • services to schools, • research and innovation, • sharing of learning resources
Workshop overview Workshop 1 Tools (prezi, etc) How Workshop 2 Resources / materials What Workshop 3 Connect to TwinSpace How
Let’s have an EDUCAMP • EDUCAMP: Share knowledge and experiences • Experiences, resources, and materials for STEM classes: • ICT resources for teaching (simulations,...) • eTwinning and other collaborative projects • We need: • a PC for every 3-4 teachers. • adhesive labels and a pen
Let’s have an EDUCAMP • Prepare your label: • Write down the materials, resources or experiences that you are familiar with (e.g., simulations, specific eTwinning projects, materials, lab equipment...) and stick it on your shirt. • Look around for what might interest you. • - Ask her/him to explain briefly how they used the materials, resources, experiences (with the help of the PC if applicable).
