The METASCHOOL project aims to improve the in-service training of school teachersand school ICT staff on topics related to the organisation, sharing, use and re-use ofdigital learning resources that can be accessed online through learning repositories. .More specifically, METASCHOOL will mainly carry out the following activities:• It will adapt, develop, test, implement and disseminate: a new training framework thatwill support the in-service training of (mainly) teachers and (also) ICT personnel ofschool staff on topics related to metadata, learning resources, and learningrepositories; the strategies and best practices for organising favourite/useful learningresources into personal portfolios of digital resources, as well as setting up and usinglearning repositories on a school or regional level.• It will suggest and test a variety of teaching methodologies and pedagogical strategiesfor using digital learning resources in the classroom, for two particular subject areas:science education and agro-ecology.• It will also focus on promoting the creation of a European virtual space forinterconnecting school repositories and exchanging/sharing teaching resources, basedon the Learning Resource Exchange (LRE) initiative of EUN.• It will organise pilot training and validation activities of both teachers and ICT staff(where possible) from schools all over Europe,• It will also involve organisations that are active in school education and that particularlywork on the promotion and best use of digital learning resources in the classroom on aEuropean level.The development of the proposed training program will be based on the adoption of auser-centred approach. Teachers will continuously give feedback to the academic teamabout their experiences gained in the classroom. Upon suggestions of the teachers, theacademic team will perform the necessary adjustments to the training approach. Finallythe METASCHOOL consortium aims to deliver a structured & reusable set of guidelinesand recommendations in all project languages (i.e. English, Greek, German, andCzech). The main outcome of the project, namely the METASCHOOL Guide of GoodPractice. The teacher training activities of METASCHOOL will be implemented inselected pilot schools from Greece, Austria, and Czech Republic, during the first year ofthe project. Their further testing and validation will be achieved through further trainingactivities in other European schools from the participating networks, as well as Germanyand Sweden.
