The Telematics for Teacher Training project will encourage over 4,000 teachers to adopt telecommunications and new technologies in schools and universities across the European Union. It will establish courses for teachers within a growing consortium of universities and commercial services, which will continue to develop beyond the millennium. Primary and secondary teachers, their teacher trainers and library staff will develop new practices together enhancing the quality of learning and knowledge of Europe within the curriculum. Best practice will be refined for teachers of mathematics, languages, science and technology in several European languages and many cultures. T3 will focus on supporting the new approach to education and training within the European Union: lifelong learning. Teachers will model this practice in front of their students. Teachers' skills in both Telematics applications and in tutoring students how to learn for themselves will be available, even in remote rural areas, with the use of new technologies. Universities in Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal and the UK form the consortium with support from partners which include telecommunication companies. These universities across Europe will design and develop courses for both staff and students. The T3 courses will use Telematics within their delivery, such as in school based teacher training and in the tutoring of teachers studying for a Masters of Education. Commercial partners and ministries will use the experience to develop policies, services and marketing strategies appropriate to education. The three year project began in January 1996 and its website, the T3Centrum, provides a meeting place for teachers on the Internet. There they can find resources, information and opportunities for team teaching and collaborative development across Europe. International desktop videoconferencing through dial-up ISDN will provide further opportunities. The project also aims to refine a European core curriculum in Telematics for teacher trainers and provide guidelines for library staff in their support of teachers. These will be validated with European professional associations and education ministries.
Il progetto T3 è un progetto internazionale finanziato dalla Comunità Europea nell'ambito del IV Programma Quadro, applicazioni Telematiche. T3 ha avuto inizio a Gennaio 1996 e si è concluso nel 2000. L'obiettivo principale era promuovere l'uso della telematica nella formazione docenti in Europa, sviluppando esperienze, corsi ed altre iniziative congiunte rivolte ad insegnanti o futuri insegnanti dei vari paesi partner. A fianco di questo primo obiettivo vi era quello di costituire una comunità virtuale di insegnanti europei, accomunati dall'interesse per le applicazioni didattiche della telematica e facenti capo a punti di riferimento comuni, costituiti dalle istituzioni coinvolte nel progetto T3 e dal portale del progetto. L'approccio seguito prevedeva la definizione e la sperimentazione di metodi e processi innovativi basati sull'impiego della telematica nella formazione iniziale degli insegnanti e nell'aggiornamento di docenti in servizio. Il progetto prevedeva, inoltre, lo sviluppo di prodotti e materiali di supporto alle iniziative di formazione svoltesi nel corso del progetto. Tali materiali sono stati sviluppati con particolare attenzione alla loro trasferibilità e rilevanza nel contesto europeo e riguardavano sia discipline specifiche, come la matematica, le scienze, l'educazione tecnologica e le lingue straniere, sia alcune aree multidisciplinari come la ricerca bibliografica, la formazione di insegnanti e le problematiche ambientali.
