 there now is an edtech app store! Well, it's more like an app directory but you get the point. It's called edshelf and is an easy-to-use directory all the great web 2.0 tools out there just waiting for educators to try them out. You can share your experience with the tools, add your own, store a 'shelf' of your favorite tools, and more. 

What a great idea! :)

Science Education in Europe: National Policies, Practices and Research Date of publication: 16 November 2011 The study examines the organisation of science teaching in Europe and provides an overview of existing policies and strategies that aim at improving and fostering science teaching and learning today.

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.

Over the last decade the amount of information available on the Internet regarding Renaissance dance has grown exponentially. In an effort to make the current wealth of information more easily accessible, I have begun compiling information and links in this database.

So while many of the people we work for (teachers and students) are given allowances to use images from the Web for educational purposes, the sponsor of this Web site is not an educational institution. Still, rather than abandon the richness of art imagery on the Web, or joining into a formal partnership with a museum, our goal was to continue on our mission: creating models of Web-based learning that regular teachers could create (if they had the luxury we enjoy of doing this as our fulltime jobs).

The very best sources for educational videos on the web."

October 11th, 2011 by Jenny Hughes Have been in Brussels for the last two days - speaking at 9th European Week of Regions and Cities organized by DG Regio and also taking the opportunity to join other sessions. My topic was Evaluation 2.0.

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?

NTS aims to use ICTs as a tool to make the learning of science subjects more attractive and accessible. The project target groups are students from the general and vocational schools aged 13 to 18; teachers in science subject,plus college & university students attending science education courses (prospective school teachers in sciences) The project will establish a Virtual Lab, as an experimental virtual aid to science learning. This will serve as a platform for science lessons, as a database of teaching materials and as a hub for science-learning-related graphic aids and recorded and illustrated appealing experiments on Nano-Tech. It will include a Nano-Science Center, presenting to learners and their in-service or future teachers the miracles of the nano-technologies. A program for a week Science Camp training including hands-on experiments and demonstrations will be developed and delivered through the VL, this is a good step as an approbation of the contents and functionalities of the virtual lab.

T3 goal is to develop and validate an innovative teaching program to promote the use of advanced learning technology by university teaching staff; secondary school teachers; trainers involved in VET. Key features of the program will include: theoretical classes discussing the features and advantages of the new technologies; practical workshops, in which learners (university teaching staff, teachers and trainers) simulate learning sessions and familiarize with technologies; project work, in which learners will prepare learning projects for use in their own classes, implement the project, and evaluate the results; joint assessment of the results by participants in the program.

The Flashmeeting Project includes an application based on the Adobe Flash 'plug in' and Flash Media Server. Running in a standard web browser window, it allows a dispersed group of people to meet from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Typically a meeting is pre-booked by a registered user and a url, containing a unique password for the meeting, is returned by the server. The 'booker' passes this on to the people they wish to participate, who simply click on the link to enter into the meeting at the arranged time. During the meeting one person speaks (i.e. broadcasts) at a time. Other people can simultaneously contribute using text chat, the whiteboard, or emoticons etc. while waiting for their turn to speak. This way the meeting is ordered, controlled and easy to follow. A replay of the meeting is instantly available, to those with the 'unique' replay url.
