What does the Acer-EUN

pedagogical netbook pilot

entail?


Six countries participating

5


• Pre-pilot: January to June 2010

– 10 classes per country = all in all 60 classes

– 5 teachers per class = 50 teachers per country

= all in all 300 teachers involved

• Pilot: September 2010 to June 2011

– 50 classes per country = all in all 300 classes

– 5 teachers per class

= 250 teachers per country

= all in all 1500 teachers involved

Timeline and set-up

On-going


• Each participating school has a netbook team:

4-5 teachers, ICT coordinator and school head

• School receives

– Netbooks for learners (± 27)

– Notebooks for teachers (5)

– School: desktop (mini server, wifi)

+ monitor

Schools and equipment


Plan a pedagogical project where the teachers and the pupils use

netbooks in an educational context

• Different possibilities:

– 2 or more teachers work together to create a cross-curricular project where

pupils use netbooks across subjects

– each teacher create their own pedagogical project

• A variety of contexts:

– use netbooks in school vs. at home

– individual use of netbooks vs. collaborative use

What is expected from teachers?

Report and rich case

studies


• Can netbooks improve teaching and learning

both inside and outside of schools?

• How are they used by teachers and learners in

educational contexts:

･ in school vs. out of school use

･ individual use vs. collaborative use

･ educational use vs. leisure use

(inspired by Heeok Heo and Jeonghee Seo, NML study on South-Korea)
