PROJECT
FINISHED
The ICT provision and use in European schools is improving but several obstacles remain.
> Firstly, whilst teachers are using ICT for preparing classes, ICT use in the classroom for learning is infrequent. Teacher training in ICT is rarely compulsory and most teachers devote spare time to private study.
> Secondly, students and teachers have the highest use of ICT and ICT learning-based activities when schools combine policies on ICT integration in teaching and learning. However, most schools do not have such an overarching policy.
Despite the fact that having access and positive attitudes towards implementing ICT into their teaching and learning, teachers often find this difficult and require on-going support - not only technical but also pedagogical.
The school constantly looking for ways to modernize in order to increase the quality and capacity of teaching. The teaching staff is always ready to meet the challenges created by modern education. Following the guidelines of the educational system of the country and European trends, part of a strategy for the development of the school is the increase of competencies and skills of teachers and the capacity of the school for the application of ICT in teaching. In this direction were taken several steps such as, training of Edubunty teaching some basic courses on the application of computer technology, Application of Google Drive in teaching, training on the use of e-grade system and electronic data in the school, equipped 11 offices with computers, projector and Internet in order to increase the application of ICT in teaching. We have good experience with projects.
Overall objectives

Each seminars will be follow by an activity in which participants will experiment best practices discussed in the seminars with their colleagues and students.
