Fons van den Berg’s Summary
The aim of my work is to help educational organisations and educators create rich, contemporary education and / or projects with which they will get best out of their students.
Teaching with the aid of new technologies requires skills a lot of educational professionals have not yet tapped into. Acquiring these skills, becoming comfortable with these innovative technologies and being able to design learner focused education that is both challenging and creative is not a thing that comes naturally or easy to a lot of educators. In the meantime students are leapfrogging ahead, leaving a gap that appears unbridgeable. Helping educators to close that gap, at least for a bit, is what I do.
If I would be a Web 2.0 app, this would be my tags: educational technology, e-learning, innovative, multimedia, podcasting, professional development, instructional design, ...
