Lazarinis, Fotis; Karachristos, Christoforos V.; Stavropoulos, Elias C.; Verykios, Vassilios S. – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
In this paper we report our experiences from a University outreach program with primary and secondary education teachers of various specialties. Our goal was to improve the coding abilities of teachers through Scratch activities. The participants can in turn teach their students, multiplying that way the benefitted population. To increase the…
