Abstract

The ICTWays Network focuses on the use of ICT to support Science teaching classrooms. After identifying existing hardware and software resources in European schools, existing ICT training procedures for teachers, available software for science teaching and current best practices, the partners are working on the development of a Community of Practice for Teachers, as well as providing local workshops and ICT training sessions, and working towards an Formal European Association for the promotion of the use of ICT in the classroom. This article introduces the objectives and current activities of this network and community.
