Electonics in Schools – Going Further course – February 2008

Wiltshire schools move onward and upwards with their development of electronics and control. In the very capable hands of tutor Torben Steeg, teachers from across Wiltshire have been exploring exciting ways to engage learners.

 

      

 

 

 

 During the course teachers made sustainable, batteryfree USB torches and buggies.

The major of the course focus was the development of learning opportunities for the pupils back in their schools, based on PICXE. The team of teachers ranged from the relatively experienced to the enthusiastic novices who were introducing elctronics into their school for the first time.

The excellent collaboration in the group was a key factor in the success of this training. This was particularly evident when they undertook evaluation tasks of  a range of electronic toy products

Another key success factor is the range of resources provided by the EIS development team thought their website and other related on-line sites: Enroll your school free and access this wealth of resources; http://www.ectinschools.org/enroll.php
