| Tip of the month The full employment of the Acer-European Schoolnet Education Netbook Pilot will start in September 2010! We welcome on board all new schools that will join the pilot and also the pre-pilot schools that will continue with us. We recommmend that the teachers get registered at the netbooks.eun.org website in order to take part in online activities. The pilot entails a lot of planning and organising for which reason we have put together some key points. | Acer-European Schoolnet's Educational Netbook Pilot
Six countries are participating in the Acer-European Schoolnet Educational Netbook Pilot in schools. Netbooks are a rapidly evolving category of small, light and inexpensive laptop computers suited for general computing and accessing web-based applications. Despite netbooks still being a new phenomena in educational settings, there are several projects around the world where each learner has a personal computer, allowing for one-to-one pedagogy. Netbooks facilitate more engaging and motivating learning anywhere anytime, offering a wide range of collaborative opportunities. The pilot is interested in exploring how the introduction of netbooks and one-to-one pedagogy in schools could change the processes involved in teaching and learning.
