Mentoring teachers who are learning to integrate ICT in the vocational training classroom was the aim of the VITAE project under the banner of ‘It’s all about learning – the rest is technology’. The project is now drawing to a close and as part of the wrapping up we are offering a free mini-online conference on September 11. We are holding the conference in Dimdim as a way of modelling the use of free or low cost Web 2.0 tools to our target group of vocational teachers.
The programme is below.
