9.  The P&E Directory is a tool (in beta version) that is being developed in the framework of a pilot project.  As other technical tools in iTEC, its goal is to support teachers to develop skills (related to the use of ICT in the classroom) including advanced learning design.  Connecting with peers seems to be essential for teachers. And events could be a way to make students more interested in the topics they are studying by linking them to things happening in the real world. What is the P&E Directory?
