What do teachers need? • Università della Valle d’Aosta 2004/2006 • (Scienze della Formazione) • help to make a reasoned choice when looking for online material • ready-made classes which could be customized • “brushing up” and update of digital literacy
The Project • Selection of very useful online resources • Indications and suggestions on how to use them • News, update materials, lectures
• …… is that enough?
The difference • Materials provided by other academics • “ready to teach” lessons: – PPT + Lesson plan + transcript
• No registration, no subscription • Collaboration with school teachers
The website • database of lessons, lectures, contributions and e-tools • Search facilities and breadcrumbs • http://www.readytoteach.it/
