the project targets the following results, in order to answer significant questions: 1. A model for analyzing teachers' ICT‐pedagogical competency profiles, relating to European frameworks and based on conclusions from topical need analyses in the partner countries. 2. The further education module 'E‐teacher 2.0', developed jointly by the project partners and based on previous best‐practice projects as well as topical surveys. The module will empower teachers within new technologies, facilitate the process of redidactization and arm teachers to spot and integrate new relevant technologies as they emerge. The module will be developed as a generic model, adaptable to local needs, but within an internationally agreed upon framework. 'E‐teacher 2.0' will be trial‐run in each partner country in order to test, evaluate and optimize the module. Specific national versions of 'E‐teacher 2.0' will be developed in each country's language, adapted to local needs. 3. An accreditation of 'E‐teacher 2.0' and/or integration into continuing education in each partner country, with the aim of border-crossing mutual recognition.

It's good to be a kid these days. Or rather, it's better to be a teenager now than it was 30 years ago. That's the essential argument made in an infographic from Besteducationdegrees.com. Today's teens make more money in their crummy jobs, enjoy PlayStation instead of Coleco Vision, and have cell phones on which they listen to their music.

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

Imagine a timeline of the universe, complete with high-resolution videos and images, in which you could zoom from a chronology of Egypt's dynasties and pyramids to the tale of a Japanese-American couple interned in a World War II relocation camp to a discussion of a mass extinction that occurred on Earth 200 million years ago - all in seconds. Based on an idea from a University of California, Berkeley, student, ChronoZoom - essentially a zoomable timeline of timelines augmented with multimedia features -- is coming to life.

Teachers would be foolhardy to label parents as either good or bad.

Not all parents are created equal and cannot be categorized on a single spectrum.  To do so would jeopardize a teacher's ability to survive. Literally.  I mean, I'm talking life or death here.
