Abstract

TEAM Lab at Eotvos Lorand University connects tightly Informatics teacher training to real teaching practices so that: Informatics teachers can get acquainted with methods, topics, and possibilities for integrating ICT into subject areas, while teachers of different subjects would get ideas on forms of applying ICT tools to enhance subject learning. This paper describes a pilot project involving children from tele-houses, learning communities in Hungary using two Web Based Learning materials developed by TEAM Lab and mentored by future informatics teachers. Both materials are based on a constructivist approach and allow different learning styles to emerge. The pilot project has been in progress for two sessions with an "action research" process that aims to build a suitable model extendable to the whole network of tele-houses in order to contribute to the introduction of capacity building through distance education for underdeveloped regions.
