Mirjam, Summary

1. Did meeting in Estonia fulfill your reason for attending?

Yes, mostly it did. I´m very much interested in ICT, of its use, how to implement it in the classes and how to learn (or better to "persuade") teachers to use more ICT. Even though I expected more practical lessons, how to make the contents, what we can do with programs that are available online, etc.


2. What was the most interesting for you?

One of the most interesting things was introduction to wikis and together with that the programs you can use to make interactive contents.
eKool was also interesting, since we have something like that in our school, but not really on national level. Good to see, how everything is connected in one big network and itś working :)
Also the e-exams were interesting since the students can do it at home as well (in the limit amount of time).

3. What do you think about Estonia?

It was my first time in the north of Europe and I liked Tallinn very much. The city is a lot like Ljubljana - old town with streets and a great view. I didn´t know much about history - just some general things (like that it was under SU, ...) so it was nice to learn something new also to see some traditional folk dances, a little theater scene in the restaurant.
People are really nice, they speak english very good (I think that goes for all small countries), so I think I´m comming back again to explore the rest of the Estonia :)
