Course Objectives:

• To increase value of experimental teaching in sciences
• To explore the cultural dynamics of each curriculum through experimental and scientific expertises, using the resources that interactive centers have to offer;
• To explore apps and mobile devices in educational contexts
• Enhance communicative competence in English
• The final objective is to identify and share good practices that can be implemented at local level

Course-ending expectations:

• Integrate experimental activities, field classes, nature trails, among others, in the teacher’s curriculum (regarding scientific experience)
• Use apps for mobile devices in educational contexts

My own experience:

One week course to improve my English knowledge, to meet other colleagues from Europe and to learn different apps to use in our schools.

A very profitable experience as a person and as a science teacher, highly recommended to learn how the environment, museums,or scientific centers must be part of our teaching.
