The Regional Directorate for Education and Training is promoting training courses on E-Blocks tables. The initiative is part of the activity plan of the “Digital Schools” project in a partnership with the company ENDU-Energias Educativas.
The first training course took place at the Lagoa Basic Education School on March 10 -11 and it was attended by 15 teachers from Água de Pau Basic Education School, Vila Franca do Campo Basic Education School, Ribeira Grande Basic Education School and Nordeste Basic Education School.
Another training course will be held on the island of Faial at the Horta Basic Education School on March 14-15, which will also be attended by fifteen teachers.
E-Blocks tables provide a different learning environment, consisting of electronic modules and educational software designed preschool and elementary school students. These tables have educational potentialities in the areas of Portuguese, Math, English and Special Education.
These two training courses are intended to reinforce the teachers’ skills in the integration of technological resources in educational context in order to enhance the quality of learning.
