Abstract:
ESA/GTTP (Galileo Teacher Training Program) educational resources are available on line for the access of all interested science teachers. This paper presents some of educational software to be used in science classes allowing teachers to use ICT: Stellarium, Celestia, Robotic Telescopes, SalsaJ, together with other resources available online. As this year is dedicated to The Transit of Venus, most of the physics teachers organize extracurricular activities for their students interested in space science, so it is a great opportunity to access ESA website for documentation. This paper is a dissemination of ESA/GTTP Workshop Training for Teachers, Madrid February 2012.
