Project Summary

“e-teach the teachers” (abbreviated with the acronym e-ttt) is a school partnership that has developed the didactics for mobile learning with mobile devices (smartphones, tablets). All three project partners can look back on a long tradition of working with tablets in class: in all three schools, pupils learn on their own iPads (bring your own device).
Furthermore,The English De Ferrers Academy has been an Apple Distinguished School for many years. The Realschule am Rennbuckel from Germany has received the awards SmartSchool by Bitcom and Digitale Schule Deutschland.

The participating teachers from Holland, England and Germany worked together to develop the so-called iPAC Framework and brought the Accelerated Learning Cycle (ALC) into play as a teaching structure for mobile learning. The focus was always on the question of how 21st century skills can be taught in an integrative way in teaching.

The result is a comprehensive ebook – freely accessible in the Apple iTunes Store at https://books.apple.com/gb/book/e-teach-the-teacher/id1457656589?mt=13
In it, app-based learning is vividly explained using the Accelerated Learning Cycle model. In addition, there are app suggestions and numerous explanatory videos – all self-made in the respective teaching situations.
Further information can also be found at www.e-ttt.eu until 2028.

As part of the Erasmus+ school partnerships, we met a total of four times. Twice in Germany and once each in Holland and England.

Since the application was made by the Dutch school, but the project management was to have the German school from now on, the goals we had set in the application were still very vague. We were still inexperienced in writing applications and had hardly any time. A lot of the information was therefore not filled in correctly. Nevertheless, our project can be seen in retrospect: In addition to the ebook (which was not a goal in the application), we also held an international Mobile Learning Conference in Karlsruhe, which was attended by over 100 external educators. Furthermore, the Accelerated Learning Cycle and the iPAC Framework were presented in numerous workshops and lectures, so that it can be assumed that the iPAC Framework and the Accelerated Learning Cycle will have a long-term effect. Our aim is (also in our follow-up project “Learning Beyond Reality” – www.lebere.eu – online from January 2020) to make mobile learning in Europe more presentable (social acceptable) and to provide pedagogical, methodological and didactic support for educators.
