Developing ICT Based Teacher Training Units

Developing ICT Based Teaching Units

Development Teams at the Mofet Institute are establishing virtual study environments for teachers training. They enable the learner, independent form time and place, to enter a study site build in a complex and diversified way, in contrast to the linearity of the knowledge based on written texts.

This cutting edge project was established five years ago and new development teams join it each year. The teams are chosen among the Teacher Training Colleges faculty who receive the necessary training and support, both technical as well as pedagogical.

Among the study units developed so far:

• Environmental Quality: http://ichut.mofet.macam98.ac.il/

• Small animals: http://www.macam98.ac.il/animals/

Issues related to the training of teachers:

• Helping k12 students prepare their home lessons: http://ezer.macam98.ac.il

• Environment for training teachers of English as a foreign language: http://ett.mofet.macam98.ac.il
