Acknowledgements

We are grateful that the schools Broklede and Bogerman have both invested in this project by providing the teachers extra time to develop the distance lessons. The national organisation to stimulate ICT-use in schools in The Netherlands, Kennisnet, granted Broklede and Bogerman a videoconference set each for the benefit of this project. Also Kennisnet has provided funding to develop a proper business case so transfer to other schools around the country, but also to other schools can be made possible.

Bogerman has a tradition of teachers doing action research in their own teaching practice. The Maths teacher at Bogerman, Bob Pruiksma, participates in this local research programme. We are grateful for the help various experienced researchers of IvA, Kohnstamm Institute and UOCG give us to enhance the level of action research at the school for the benefit of this project.
