Beaumont Online Teacher Training
Beaumont offers online teacher training courses for using the Internet in the classroom. Teachers who know very little about the Internet and those who feel comfortable using the Internet still have something in common when they are with their students?the feeling of ?OK, I?m online. What do I do now?? Whether for primary schools or secondary schools, the introductory courses show how the Internet can be used as a tool for better learning. They show how the Internet is useful in the classroom not because it is there, but because students and teachers can use it to improve the way knowledge is acquired (i.e. as a pedagogical tool).
