Deutsch The World of Begabungs
In the virtual world "The World of Begabungs" we will give ten children of the age between 12 and 16 from all over the world the possibility to work on projects in secure environment in the internet. The world is based on OpenSim, an opensource version of SecondLife TM, and access is restricted to the participants and the mentors, so the children can work and interact in secure surroundings. In addition to the children's own project they can participate in classes about different topics, eg, scriptin, graphical design, three-dimensional building and more. The projects and classes are tailored to the children's interests. Playful project-oriented learning with fun, mentoring, enrichment, and meeting children from other cultures are the goal of the project. Since this is an international project the main language is english.

Teacher Training
Teachers are the torch bearers in creating social cohesion, national integration and a learning society. They not only disseminate knowledge but also create and generate new knowledge. They are responsible for acculturating the role of education. Teacher training is an integral component of any educational system. It is intimately connected with society and is conditioned by the ethos, culture and character of a nation.
What Is the Role of Teachers of the Gifted and Talented?
Teachers of the gifted and talented are generally responsible for one or more of these roles:
- Organizing enrichment activities for students and teachers in the school;
- Gathering and disseminating information about innovative teaching practices, exemplary materials, resource persons, and special opportunities for gifted youngsters;
- Coordinating regular curricular activities so bright students can work at a pace and level commensurate with their ability;
- Integrating regular curriculum and special program experiences;
- Counseling and advising students, parents, and teachers about underachievement, career and college selection, and special problems associated with giftedness, and
- Encouraging student attitudes of excellence, creativity, productivity, and leadership.
