On 22nd November, the Tampere team conducted in-service training for teachers on teaching critical online reading in primary education. Pirjo Kulju and Riikka Anttonen showed the participants the videos produced in the project. The videos were used as prompts to discuss ideas and experiences of teaching critical reading. Pirjo and Riikka also presented concrete teaching materials that teachers can use in their teaching. In the next phase, the teachers will carry out a small teaching experiment, the results of which will be discussed together.
