Professional Development Model
ICT summer camp
1996
“(…) I changed with regard to informatics.
Student teaching and university courses
pushed me to use software and to go on the
Internet in order to find information.
Although I did it out of necessity and not by
personal interest, I must say that I have
learned to be more resourceful, and
especially to try out things (….) I had no
more the choice; ICT were there to stay;
and they were to be integrated into
education.” (Student teacher)
