The emergence of new technologies is transforming teaching and training in Europe from the traditional modes of education we have known, and these changes mean that teachers and people in charge of training at all levels and of all types now have to adopt new knowledge and abilities.

Knowledge of ICTs are now an obligatory part of any teacher’s professional curriculum, and must not be reduced to a few simple notions that allow the teacher to use some of the technological tools. On the contrary, it is a question of empowering teachers and trainers to incorporate technological resources into their learning environment and educational processes.

Educational institutions and teacher trainers face the challenge of preparing the upcoming generations of teachers to be able to use these new tools effectively in their teaching practices. For many teachers, the only way of guaranteeing the acquisition of these resources and expertise is to take part in educational programmes.

 

Priorities:

  1. Teacher must have then knowledge and skills to use the new digital tools and resources to help students achieve high academic standards,
  2. Classrooms and educational establishments are better equipped in regard to technology and communications facilities. For that reason, it is essential to provide the teachers with competences required to apply this facilities into their teaching environments. In this way, it is vital to provide competences related to content, pedagogy, technical issues, collaboration and communications techniques within the educational environments and day to day academic activities.

In accordance with what is explained above, the main aim of the EUROTRAINERS project is to create a training program for instructors oriented to offer them the abilities needed for the integration process of the technological tools in their learning environment, so that they will be able to design, plan and distribute training courses through Internet.

EUROTRAINERS is addressed to the 4th Priority (“Continuously training of teachers and trainers”) of “Leonardo da Vinci” Call for Pilot Project Proposals.
