Each one of weekly activities includes four components.

comments, links to URLs, embedded video or audio clips.
3. Small groups will be active for the third component; strengths and interests
from group members should lead the interaction. Each week a group member
will explain to his/her colleagues when, how and with what strategies to use
an ICTE that s/he knows about and that is of collective interest. A wiki will
allow each group to build knowledge together based on their onlineinteraction and on further individual testing of the explained technology.
4. Each week will close documenting lessons learned, to be shared using a
weekly blog. At the beginning of the next week participants will be invited to
