João Correia de Freitas

I'm a Biologist by training (1981), which began his professional carreer as a secondary teacher (1979). In 1985 I joined the first ICT in Education initiative in Portugal ( MINERVA, 1985-94) and from then on this has been my main area of interest, teaching and researching Educational Technology. I was also involved on implementing ICT at my university (e-Campus, 1992-1996).I was lucky enough to be part of two other nation wide initiatives of educational ICT (Internet at School, Min. Science and Technology, 1997-2002 and Computers, Networks and Internet at School, Min-. Education, 2005-2007), making for 7yrs of work on national ICT in Education policy. In 2007 upon returning to the university I was appointed to the e-Learning Laboratory of my college. I am founding member of EDUCOM (1996-) a teachers NGO and its current president of the board of directors (2011-).
