“My 5th grade classroom in [..]. I took the photo in late 1937, when I was 13”

I took the photo in April 2010 .Pupils are 13.

Spot the 7 differences!

Outline

What happens before? School pilot protocol From pre-pilots to pilots and evaluation

Brainstorm: incentives for schools

National coordinators, meeting in Brussels

School pilot protocol

What is a classroom?

Indicators to be met

1000 classroom in 4 years

Timeline

Classroom =

class of learners

Many teachers are “nomads” in their school - they go from classroom to classroom to teach

... and sometimes students change classrooms many times a day

December 2010 7iTEC - Designing the future classroom

Classroom =

class of learners

(1) Teacher teaches the same subject to two different age groups of learners:

math to 12-13 year olds => 1 class in iTEC math to 15-16 year olds => 1 class in iTEC


Classroom =

class of learners

(2) Teachers teaches 2 math classes in the same year but of differing abilities:

math to a normal class 12-13 year olds => 1 class in iTEC

math to an advanced 12-13 year olds => 1 class in iTEC


Classroom =

class of learners

(3) Teacher teachers 2 different subjects to the same class of learners:

math to a class 12-13 year olds => 1 class in iTEC

chemistry to the same class of 12-13 year olds => 1 class in iTEC


Classroom =

class of learners

Teacher needs to fill in one evaluation questionnaire/class!

We do not recommend more than 2 classes/teacher/cycle!

Rapid feedback loop to developers via teacher community

Evaluation of the pedagogical value

Decision to go large-scale

Evaluation of pedagogical value will help reduce the number of prototypes
