"Baltic EduApps - Educational Apps for VET Teachers and Trainers"

The course was focussed on educational apps, which are covering almost all the fields of teaching in general, from preparation of lessons, time management, communication software etc., but also special ones only for vocational education and training processes.

The purpose here was also to provide teachers with a repository of apps to choose from when trying them with their students in the classroom.

Also some apps for pointing out or focussing the specifics of the Baltic Sea region have been included in the course.
