Professional Development Model
() I changed with regard to informatics.
Student teaching and university courses pushed me
to use software and to go on the Internet in
order to find information. Although I did it out
of necessity and not by personal interest, I must
say that I have learned to be more resourceful,
and especially to try out things (.) I had no
more the choice ICT were there to stay and they
were to be integrated into education. (Student
