In the current school environment there is an increasing need of differentiation strategies to deal with students’ different needs and favour their inclusion in the educational path.
TABLIO – Tablets for classroom differentiation and inclusion tries to answer to this need by promoting the use of tablets and other mobile devices to support teachers of primary and secondary education in the implementation of differentiation strategies in schools.
Representatives of the partner organizations met in Hasselt (Belgium) at the PXL University College on the 16th and 17th of February 2017 to talk about aims and activities of the project and develop some contents of the design-toolkit to develop innovative educational approaches on differentiation and inclusion of students.
The meeting has been the occasion to discuss about the next steps of the project and how to involve teachers in the Teacher Design Team that will develop and implement innovative educational approaches on the basis of the design-toolkit partly developed during this meeting and that will be finalized in the following weeks.
In the following steps of the project, each partner organisation will ask teachers to present good practices on the use of tablets and mobile devices for differentiation strategies and inclusion in order to collect these practices from each country and make them available for anyone who might be interested in this topic.
Furthermore, in each country two Teachers Design Teams will be set up, each one composed by two in service teachers, a pre-service teacher, a coordinating role in the school and the local coordinator of the partner organization. These teams will identify a problem or challenge in teachers’ work and develop and implement new educational approaches for differentiation and inclusion.
TABLIO is a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme, Key Action 2: Strategic Partnerships for school education.
The project involves 7 organizations from 6 different countries:
- PXL University College – coordinator (Belgium),
