Abstract
Being aware of the increasing pedagogical challenges posed when using and teaching IT in schools, we have begun a widespread initiative at the Technical University of Munich to improve the practice of teaching TT in secondary schools in Bavaria. We offer a curriculum to students who intend to become secondary school teachers. The goal of the curriculum is to offer students a more general viewpoint, leaving behind the more narrow hard- and software specific approaches that schools have followed most often. Guided by the process of developing software, we propose to concentrate on modelling techniques, especially object-oriented versions. We intend, furthermore, to educate as many teachers at a university level in computer science as possible. To that end we have developed a new, lean curriculum for the education of teachers, which also serves as a basis for an in-service training project. In addition, we plan to improve the access that schools have to modern information technologies. We have built an Internet node for a variety of rural schools in Rosenheim.
