3. 8/26/20153  to develop a pedagogical framework that attempts to blend informal and formal learning and to situate learning in real-world context s. Wide range of learning experiences (3 levels)  to develop advanced pedagogical scenarios that are shaped around a mission guided by a general scientific question. Productive learning actions (experiment, game, share, explain, design, etc)  to develop and evaluate a web based environment, the LA@CERN Education and Outreach portal, that will facilitate the implementation of the proposed pedagogical scenarios.  to pilot and to demonstrate the LA@CERN approach in schools, universities and science centers in Greece, Finland, Sweden, Austria, UK and at CERN. user-centred learning activities  to create virtual learning communities of educators, learners and researchers and involve them in extended episodes of playful learning ooperation between teachers, students and researchers and support and stimulation from research.  to perform an extended validation study of the LA@CERN approach. The validation work aims a) to adapt a tried and tested methodology to validate products and services of the LA@CERN project and b) to implement the validation procedure in situ in a pan-European setting.  to design and implement a systematic dissemination and exploitation strategy that will contribute to the effective communication of the project’s results and outcomes. the exploration of “real science”. Objectives

4. 8/26/20154 LA@CERN pedagogical approach and LA@CERN missions Implement a set of missions (learning scenarios) tailored to the needs of the diverse groups of learners, employing advanced and interactive visualization technologies and also personalised ubiquitous learning paradigms. In the framework of these missions, learners will be able to use a series of educational analysis tools that allow them to manipulate data and make their own discoveries. LA@CERN Tools Will contain educational materials and information, such as access to near real-time data and analysis tools (e.g. AMELIA, ATLANTIS, HYPATIA ), teacher resources (e.g. professional development materials, lesson plans, projects and activities), student-centred materials (e.g. data library, communication area, student’s magazines), applications for educational projects and collaborative activities. LA@CERN support materials set of training materials and guides will be created, for all 3 levels. Printed guides and presentations, online material and tutorials for use through the web service. The training will include workshops, demonstrations during teachers training activities, summer schools and conferences and a series of on-line seminars through the Internet. LA@CERN Dissemination Materials and activities Will present project results in conferences and workshops ; Results of the project will be described in academic papers which will be submitted to scientific journals, LA@CERN Guide of Good Practice Will map the project’s development and implementation and will analytically describe a series of best practices that will emerge from the validation process. Educational experience through the exploration of “real science”. Outcomes of the project

5. 8/26/20155 LA@CERN Institutes Birmingham-led work is concentrated in first six months Needs several iterations with potential users Reason for short notice for this first meeting

6. 8/26/20156 Aim of the today’s meeting Establish a group of interested teachers to work with us on this project – others are very welcome to join us later Introduce the project aim and some initial tools that can be investigated by you and in some cases your students We will provide links to these tools on a local web page initially Informal discussions to provide early feedback/ideas on where to focus our efforts, constraints … Time is a big challenge – most initial contributions needed in next few months
