Summary

Introduction

In the GEOMATECH project, we are developing new approaches for technology integration into Hungarian schools utilising Hungarian teaching traditions, successful international examples, and experiences of Hungarian teachers. The GEOMATECH project (owing to the generous 8million Euro EU Funding, TÁMOP-3.1.12) is developing high-quality teaching and learning materials for all grades in primary and secondary schools in Hungary (http://tananyag.geomatech.hu/). In addition to material development, we are offering 60-hour professional development courses for more than 2400 teachers in 800 schools in Hungary. We are organizing a wide-range of teacher and student activities including competitions, maths and science fairs, and developing a network of schools for the long-term sustainability of the GEOMATECH project.
