Resource saving technologies in education: A step towards a green society

Abstract

This article discusses the actual problems of modern society – environmental degradation and inefficient use of resources, as well as possible ways of resource conservation – from the educational perspective. A brief literature review of green technologies in education is presented in the first part. Next, we describe a didactic module for training future informatics teachers in resource-saving activities. The module aims to form their readiness to use novel educational methods in schools with a special focus on green information technologies as well as to develop a general resource-saving culture.
