- The ECML/ICT-REV project provides training workshops to help language teachers and professionals integrate technology and open educational resources into their teaching. - Over 15 years it has held workshops across Europe to extend knowledge of ICT tools, discuss pedagogical principles, and establish professional networks. - It maintains an inventory of over 80 freely available and evaluated ICT tools and OERs with examples of best practices and user feedback. - Next steps include requesting an ICT-REV workshop, exploring the inventory, and advocating for priority on appropriate teacher training programs.
