Resumé
Immediately after my studies, I've decided to join a crew of young teachers at the Lycée technique Mathias Adam in Differdange, Luxembourg (LTMA.lu). I've since seen many changes at our school, the biggest one being the fact that we are officially the first school in Luxembourg equipped only with interactive whiteboards from Promethean. This happened during the 3-year long remodeling and rebuilding of our school in Differdange. Due to my interest in technology, I've decided to invest myself in this project.

Using interactive whiteboards in the classroom
A few years back, our principal decided to ask our ministry to equip our school with digital whiteboards. Since the whole school was to be rebuild, the decision was taken to equip the whole school with those digital whiteboards. Therefor we started a group of tutors in 2009 in order to teach our co-workers how to use the whiteboards in our classrooms. I've been part of this group since then, together with 4 other teachers from our school. In 2012, I started to lead seminars for adults on the use of IWBs in classrooms, organised by the national Institut de Formation. I've been looking to widen my horizont on this subject ever since.
