Strengths and Weaknesses of INTEF

Strengths: emphasis on online training, documentation, accountability

Weaknesses: training is determined by trainers, choice of programmes like MALTED outdated, lack of collaboration from regional governments

Page 27: ICT Skills for Teachers

Main Strengths

Internet en el Aula, a network of teachers through Ning, very agile, very participative, lots of webinars, repository of good practice

Page 29: ICT Skills for Teachers

CPR and the planning of ICT courses

is determined by three factors:

- the needs detection analysis

- the opinion of the ruling bodies of the Department of Education

- the opinion of the advisors

Another strand:

- tailor made courses

Page 30: ICT Skills for Teachers

The catalogue

The starting point is the

- catalogue of training activities

- the definition of

– teaching positions (Primary, Maths, tutors, headmasters ...)

– professional competences (ICT,

European Programmes ...)

Page 31: ICT Skills for Teachers

The Annual Plan

Page 32: ICT Skills for Teachers

Courses for the ICT skill

270 courses this school year: the lion's share

- Online courses: Moodle and E-XXI

- Office, eXeLearning, Google

- IWB

- Some Innovation: Raspberries, Scratch

Page 33: ICT Skills for Teachers

Strengths and weaknesses of our model

- thanks to tailor made courses we can accommodate very easily the needs of teachers in the same year. A weakness at the same time since teachers follow trends very easily: lots of IWB, little e-learning platform

- Our weaknesses: bureaucratic dinosaur, but at the same time anarchic, no vision for the future, dependence of the department, outdated equipment, change from windows XP to ???, lack of tested materials with E XXI (BYOD)

Page 34: ICT Skills for Teachers

How can we change things over?

It's difficult to say.

A state run organism with so many stakeholders is difficult to change.

The resistance of organizations to change.
