Welcome to the Module of Training ‘How digital tools can make your science lessons more attractive’. This training module is one of the products of the MASS project.

This Module of Training was designed to support teachers in the use of digital tools in science education – it helps to familiarise with different types of digital tools (geo-media, in particular Satellite Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems and map applications – virtual globes, Serious Games, Social Media and different Apps for Smartphones and Tablets) in a very practical way. Teachers can easily work with the material individually to find out which parts are a replacement for their traditional teaching methods used in different phases of the lesson.

This Module of Training should be also helpful if you or other teachers or teacher trainers want to develop a training course for science teachers and educators in your country. Therefore it is structured in a specific way and the suggested agenda is also included. Moreover, the training is based on a universal topic – development of the cities and human impact on the environment related to that process – so all the materials can be easily adjusted to give an example of the capital of your own country. In this case the city of Athens is used as an example throughout the training.

We encourage you to try this Module in your own trainings. Please let us know about your experience via our Facebook group.

Thanks and good luck!
