"De afgelopen jaren werden veel onderzoeksprojecten uitgevoerd naar een zinvolle integratie van ICT-instrumenten in het onderwijs. Deze projecten mondden uit in publicaties over digitale didactiek waarin theoretische modellen en praktijkvoorbeelden werden geanalyseerd. Er is redelijk wat know-how over digitale didactiek voorhanden. Vreemd genoeg heeft tot op heden niemand een omvattende cursus over digitale didactiek uitgewerkt voor lerarenopleidingen in Vlaanderen.   Met dit project beogen we de ontwikkeling van een omvattende cursus over digitale didactiek. Deze cursus kan in elke lerarenopleiding in Vlaanderen (bij uitbereiding in Nederland) worden aangewend om de studenten/cursisten digitale didactische inzichten bij te brengen en ICT-instrumenten op een doordachte manier aan te wenden in een onderwijsleerproces. "

That's a very nice infographic. How can we use it in the classroom?

New technologies are central to modern life and sensitive topics are often discussed on the internet rather than face to face. However, this could be potentially damaging, especially for young people. The European project Virtual Stages Against Violence (VSAV) discovers possible risks concerning the use of new technologies  and offers teaching and learning pathways for a sensible use of the internet and new technologies. The project has started in March 2011 and the project team has already developed innovative products for teachers, students, schools, youth organisations and so on.
