Second Study
The last meeting of the workgroup was held on 3 June. One pilot group has already started at Hollola Lukio. The principal teaches Integral Calculation using Web 2.0 tools.
We expect to have 3 more groups in August 1 vocational and 2 more groups in High Schools.
We are have also technical meetings with our Computer Department on our to organise the prototype website comprising of all Web 2.0 tools which will be used by whether the Secondary and vocational Education.
There are some technical requirements to keep in mind when building such a proto/website.
Video websites such a YouTube need for instance a whole dedicated server due to the need of bandwidth to run videos.
