The AMULETS project is granted extra funding

25 of October, 2007 By: Marianne Björn

The steering board of the Young Communication project, a five years effort supported by the Swedish Knowledge foundation, has decided to grant another year funding to our project AMULETS. Our future efforts will focus on how to involve more university teachers and teacher students in the coming activities, so that they can actively participate in the design and implementation of novel educational activities supported by mobile technologies. Moreover, we will also explore how the methods and technologies we developed in the first year of the project can be used in the field of Mathematics Education. In this particular direction, we are planning to conduct a number of trials with 7th and 8th grades classes, teachers and teachers students where we will combine outdoor activities, mobile technologies and games within the specific field of geometry. The AMULETS activities will continue until the fall 2008.
