-They have used smarts phones and GPS devices.

- They are going to organize another course in January and in March.

- In total: 5 courses.

- 10 people per course. They had 3 devices, so no more than 10 people was available suitable.

 

TURKEY

They are planning seminars and courses of 6-8 hours. They are planning to teach Google maps, etc. At the moment, the target group is low. That’s the reason why they are planning to make a brochure and a questionnaire.

 

PORTUGAL

They have organized a course and are preparing the second edition. They have worked above all with Google maps. Now they are working for creating the second edition. They have prepared brochure and leaflet and dissemination.

 

 

FRANCE

They say that they have to disseminate more. They have paper support for the project.

The courses are going to be developed with tablet. Tomorrow they have another course to organize.

 

France suggests to Turkey to put the logo of longlife learning in facebook and more changes (for instance) categorization of the website.

Austria warns that in everything that is published for the project must be visible all the logos: in leaflet, brochure, webs, etc...

 

ITALY

In spring they are going to organize the second edition of the course. The first one was in May. Public meeting June and July.

 

SPAIN

They are going to repeat the course they organized last year in the city center.

The last course was very successful: first part in the lab and then the outside session (10 people).

About dissemination, in the next months there are going to take place two conferences: one in Portugal and one in Belgium, and the Spanish team would like to go there and show some presentation about what they are working with OUTDOOR ICT.

 

 

AUSTRIA: geogames. They have asked for supporting to teach in schools on Geocaching.  She suggests making this also in Spain: didactical methods in this sector. Austria will bring to next meeting the box with all the material that have for this geogames in schools: dvd, leaftlets, cds, etc.

 

Italy informs that dissemination is important and will show everything in the final report.

Continuation of the project? They have to talk about that later or in other meeting.  

 

Austria shows a Power Point presentation with all the courses they made

 

 

2) The Outdoor ICT “electronic handbook”: layout and contents

 

The Spanish team shows the scripts, ideas about the handbook, about the chapters, etc. to discuss about it.

They insist that the main idea of the handbook is to show why we think ICT is important and how we can help or teach people to use it. So this publication should have a theoretical and a practical part.

The title and index of the handbook will be as follows (draft):
