Innovation must be something more than “the new thing teachers do in class, like using computers, doing debates, etc.”, or to change the teacher for a younger one, or stop using the guide texts for fabulous computers. Innovating is also thinking critically, changing the participatory context for a better one, creating classroom or extracurricular environments, creating a group learning environment as well as individual or improving the relationships that exist between teachers and students.

We are wrong, therefore, when we think of innovation as the process of using ICTs, while we are continuing to do the same with those tools. We must innovate using the achievements of Pedagogy and Psychology, together with the use of new technological tools. Innovating is not a simple process, it requires some time and a lot of perseverance to make it happen.

In this training course our teacher participants who want to become an innovative teacher will learn overcoming traditional pedagogical practices by proposing and putting into practice new proposals for pedagogical problems. This training will enable them to propose changes, based on providing tools to the students to help them in “learning to learn” by anticipating the relevance of learning, managing and facilitating learning, assessing competencies, creating environments for learning, designing new environments for learning, being part of inter and multidisciplinary groups, etc.
