TELLConsult attended SMART_VET project kick-off meeting

The EU project SMART_VET (2011-2013) had its kick-off meeting at the coordinator (FIT) 's premises in Dublin. 

On behalf of TELLConsult, partner in this project on (interactive whiteboards) IWBs in Vocational Education, I attended and contributed an invited presentation on my experiences with IWBs in education. On the photo here, Gilberto Colinassi (ENAIP FVG),  presenting the Italian SmarTeach project

Obviously I included the related EU project iTILT, presented an overvview and some of the interim products.

Being responsible for the design of the survey questionnaire to map teachers´ IWB training needs I was glad the team also focussed on issues related to the development of the project´s initial products. 

As this was my first visit to Dublin and I only had one day to visit the city I decided to concentrate on 2 key aspects of Irish culture and therefore visited Christ Church Cathedral and the Guinness Store. (see the view from the Bar on top of the building on the left) :-)

 

Fortunately the final meeting has also been planned here so we will have another opportunity to visit this impressive town.

 

 

 

 

Coming accross the poster on the right I would love to think that my iTILT dissemination activity had some impact in Ireland, but then my Irish is very poor indeed :-)
