Mission Statement
T³ Europe (T cubed Europe) is an association of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) teachers across Europe sponsored by Texas Instruments Education Technology. The T³ (Teachers Teaching with Technology™) organizational goal remains true to the ideals on which it was founded: Sharing Inspiration.
Sharing Inspiration means
- Providing quality professional development that enables the mathematics and science educator to be successful in the classroom through the appropriate use of technology;
- Developing state-of-the art classroom pedagogy and sharing it with our peers nationally and internationally;
- Sharing this expertise in training, educational curricula and exam development with Ministries of Education, curriculum development and exam bodies, public and private pre- and in-service professional development organizations, pedagogical research institutions, textbook publishers and other content providers.
The Power of Visualization
Technology has changed the mathematics and science classroom, and its impact will continue to grow. Technology provides the opportunity for all students to be active learners as they are afforded the chance to explore and investigate what they have learned in the classroom.
When used effectively by a well-trained teacher, technology supports the learning of mathematics and science students, enhancing rather than degrading their skills. Technology provides value as an efficient means of analyzing data and instantly seeing the results. It provides opportunities for further exploration. These activities allow insight and understanding which is not available without the use of technology. T³ refers to this bridge to learning and understanding as "The Power of Visualization”.
