Abstract

The paper focuses on using ICT in teacher training to instruct them about using ICT in class. Several ESF projects aimed at enhancing teachers' pedagogical ICT competence in the Czech Republic build effective blended learning programmes. The aim of this paper is to share Czech experience from the course How to use a SMART Board in a classroom. Our course is based on pedagogical principles of experiential learning. With this technique, the participants obtain new knowledge and skills through a practical activity. Attention is paid to online communication through discussion forums, which brings many advantages including the participants working on problems with one another. Thus, learners were offered the opportunity not only to reflect on their own work, but also on the work of their peers, which over time led to increased learning. Finally, we introduce the results of the survey from which we obtain data for the course evaluation.
