Course aims
Course objective is to give educational technologist students skills and competences in the field of school infrastructure (hardware, terminology, usability, safety, common problems related to hardware and solutions, buying and auditing in a beginner level).
Addition to visiting different schools and educational institutions we look at the infrastructure that is used, learn about best practices (about maintain, use in learning process). In the end of the course student have skills to independently decide what ICT technology is useful for school environment and write a infrastructure development project to achieve that goal.
