At the beginning of February, we participated in the conference Two Days with Biology Didactics to gain inspiration and, in particular, present and promote the TEAM#UP project and the DERTO platform. The aim was to raise awareness of the existence of the project and the platform, and promote the possibility of using its teaching resources among secondary school teachers. This was our third time participating in the conference, which is organized annually by the Faculty of Education, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. This time, we let our two students take the lead. In his 45-minute workshop, Šimon first summarized the possibilities of using virtual tours in teaching and then guided the participants step by step through the creation of their own virtual tour. Later on, in front of a full auditorium of teachers, Janča presented the TEAM#UP project, the DERTO platform, its resources, and their use in teaching. As an example, she used a worksheet on finding the differences in the species richness of invertebrates on intensively and extensively mown urban grasslands. Both presentations were a success, and we would like to thank Šimon and Janča for their efforts.
