The provincial institute PIVA in Antwerp would like to send teachers and members of the school management team to meetings and workshops about innovative educational technology and new IT teaching tools. The school has been working on a project about e-learning since the beginning of 2013 but would like to expand this by giving its team members a chance to acquire additional professional experience at selected and renouned international events. At these events they will follow sessions and workshops at leading companies in the sector of IT education., tourism and hospitality. Next school year (2014-2015) PIVA would specifically like to participate in : - the Bett show in London , a 4-day conference entirely dedicated to the use of IT in schools - the Chase conference in Iceland , an event that lasts 4 days and where different European schools, with a similar profile to PIVA will cooperate and share experiences ( for instance eTwinning and Ecvet) - ITB in Berlin ( 3 days) , this event will be dedicated to the link between the professional world and vocational training and the new technology that can facilitate this, like for example CR systems for hotel and flight bookings and international legislation concerning online sales in the travel sector. The acquired knowledge will be shared with an internal comittee and with teachers. The participants will train their colleagues, using the knowledge they have acquired at the event ( teach the teacher). New methods of learning and technology will thus be used by more and more teachers in the classroom. The IT coordinator of the school will be involved to be able to take care of the schools needs regarding hardware. From the existing committee the school will select candidates to attend professional fairs that match the profile of the education we offer. We are opting to send several staff members at a time to such events as different workshops occur at the same time and teachers in different levels of education have different needs, for example teachers in the first years of secondary education versus those teachers in the last year. The project will be followed up closely by a project-coordinator appointed by the school , who will receive lesson-free hours to carry out this task. The school has also succesfully completed the LLP programme of the EU projects.
