Examples of pedagogical scenarios

In the scope of the project a process of trying out customised identification keys, that are adapted to the needs of different educational levels and settings are being developed and tested. Although starting with some previously gained experienced on the possibilities to use such tools in the educational context, the K2N project is aware of the fact that educational specialists are the best source for creativity in terms of use of the identification keys.

Therefore this pedagogical handbook is aimed at delivering a short overview of pedagogical scenarios that have been set-up integrating identification tools from the KeyToNature project. The handbook shall be enriched with experiences gained by teachers and students through out Europe while using the K2N identification keys. Persons reporting on experiences using non k2n identification tools in the educational context are also welcome.
