  • Introduction  
  • The teacher, according to the educational context, decides which contents are interesting, and establishes all the details of the learning process, including evaluation and further accreditation, while learners must obey all the rules and follow the paved path if they want to achieve such goal.

    The use of Internet and, in particular, the new web 2.0 tools, allows us to break with this one-to-many model, promoting everybody as a prosumer, participating in the learning and teaching processes more actively, taking decisions, cooperating with peers, creating content and doing peer-to-peer evaluation. Therefore, the role of the teacher must adapt to this new learning scenario, which fosters creativity and participation.

    Teachers need to be aware of all the possible uses of ICTs in the classroom, leading its adoption rather than just trying to catch up with learners.

    During the seminar, among other topics related to teacher training, we will discuss about the introduction of ICTs in the educational system; new models for generating and sharing educational resources, learning designs and best practices among teachers; the changes caused by the new European Higher Education Area (a.k.a. the Bologna Process) and the problems of its incomplete implementation due to the lack of resources and teacher preparation; and experiences in countries where the number of teachers is vast, such India or China, for instance.

    We want the seminar to be a powerful tool not only for gathering state-of-the-art knowledge about a given topic but also for creating and strengthening networks among participants sharing same concerns and interests about such topic.
