GUEST COLUMN JENS PORSGAARD NIELSEN
You might say: ”This is old news”. You may be right, but the way to
teach has changed in a much slower speed than the development
of tools, cell phones, smartphones, laptops etc. ESHA engage in
projects developing skills for the future teachers and I currently
represent ESHA in a Leonardo project called E-Teacher 2.0. This
project will deal with the challenge of the rapid growth of web 2.0
technologies and their potential for supporting learning processes.
Web 2.0 allows users to interact and collaborate with each other
in a social media dialogue as creators. The primary purpose of the
project is to develop a learning module, “E-teacher 2.0”, to help
teachers integrate web 2.0 into teaching, to keep teachers up to date
and to prepare them for relevant new technologies as they emerge.
A self-evaluation tool for teachers pedagogical IT-competencies
will also be developed.
