EPICT (European Pedagogical ICT Licence)
Context:
The
European Pedagogical ICT Licence is an in-service training program for
teachers combining pedagogical knowledge of ICT integration with basic
ICT-skills training. The philosophy of the EPICT concept is that
upgrading teachers with one without the other makes the training
pointless.
The Pedagogical ICT Licence thus offers teachers basic ICT skills on a personal and a professional level through focusing on the pedagogical integration of ICT in the teaching practice.
