The second Go-Lab Summer School will be carried out at the Marathon Bay, near the historic location of Marathon, at the outskirts of Athens, Greece from July 13th to July 18th 2014. The main objective of this course is to show the participating teachers the use of online virtual experimentations and remote laboratories. In addition to that, inquiry-based teaching techniques will be introduced to support them in developing, improving and enriching their teaching skills and practices.
The participants will be able to learn the use of online laboratories and experimentations and they will get to know more about the educational tools that will be presented and brought closer using different hand-on activities. This way, the participating teachers will learn how to integrate those tools into their science teaching in schools. Moreover, they will contribute their own work into educational repositories and share in within a European community of practice.
To prepare for the course, participants are asked to use the Go Lab Summer School website as a communication hub and a sharing platform, where they can find all materials needed.
