Living Schools Lab

Running pan-European school pilots where teachers and pupils evaluate new technologies can be both extremely challenging and expensive. In order to support research projects and ICT suppliers in overcoming the challenges of working with schools, Living Schools Lab organised a workshop on “How to run school validations across Europe”. The workshop offered an overview of European Schoolnet's procedures and methodologies of organising pilots in a range of projects, some covering more than 2500 schools across Europe. Key questions on how to coordinate and motivate teachers were explored as well as a range of methodological approaches addressed. At the end of the workshop the participants had the opportunity to develop a validation framework for two different scenarios, providing them with a hands-on feel of how to organize a school validation across schools in Europe.
