This event introduced participants to the key outcomes of a 3-Year European Project funded by the Erasmus+ Programme (KA2) of the European Commission called IncluEdu (see http://www.incluedu.com). IncluEdu created an innovative, European-wide, modularised further education programme for, and network of, education providers by exploiting the huge potentials of tablets for wider inclusion of learners with special educational needs (SEN).
This engaging and interactive event on the 8th & 9th of June provided an overview of the potential of using tablets in an educational context to support inclusive approaches, provided „hands-on“ experiences with tablets and motivated participants to start using tablets in their own classroom to empower all learners. If you have any queries, please contact Mr Harald Weber.
