Reprint German edition TACCLE book

december 9, 2010Newsdocuments, documentsJens Vermeersch

The Institute of education of Rhineland Palatinate (Pädagogisches Landesinstitut Rheinland-Pfalz) has reprinted the German edition of The TACCLE book. They want to use the book for their continuing education courses with teachers. These courses want to introduce teachers to current Web 2.0-tools and their application in education. The TACCLE book fits this purpose in particular because there is no need of previous knowledge. With regards to content, the book starts at a very basic level and is therefor also approriate to Web 2.0-beginners.
