The main purpose of this project is the utilization and acclimation of the great advances in IT and computer sciences to achieve a non conventional solution for the various problems encountering teacher preparation.

This project is mainly oriented to achieve an outstanding level of Excellency and proficiency for the undergraduate and graduate teachers, even for those that have been already implemented in the field. This could be done by the production and releasing of media (CD’s and DVD’s) with brand new techniques and methodologies in teaching. These media will be available for class, lab teaching and for the students. It will reflect both the international and the national (native) point of view in each aspect. Such media is not a replacement for the conventional methods but a complementary support for enhancement the whole process of teaching. It will aid in increasing student imagination by simulating natural processes and bringing field experience into lab without field expenses or hazards.

We thought that such project will be self financed and will be continue as a stand alone, profit value project.

Enhancing the quality of education is a basic requirement for developing the society especially in a developing country like Egypt. This ultimate goal, however, is hard to accomplish as we have to deal with several parameters. We feel that the first step in the road of development must be the fine preparation teachers, the mind maker of the forthcoming generation. That is why we choose this subject to be the theme of our project.

Natural science is not a standing alone science as it interrelated with many other educational disciplines  such as Geology, Zoology, Botany, Physical sciences and much more. Traditional teaching of such subjects halts the creative potential of both teachers and students. Besides, are the deficiencies in financial resources, teaching material and out of class training. Accordingly, in this project we try to use and train students to use unconventional methods of teaching and understanding scientific subjects, measuring and evaluating things, and training them for making decisions; briefly using modern technology in the process of education.
