Narrative:

During an initial multi-engine training flight with a student he retracted the gear instead of the flaps on a touch and go. The aircraft system is based on airspeed to retract the gear. During the ground roll after the landing and cleaning the flaps up the student stated flaps up and pulled the gear switch up then the aircraft nose started to retract. A quick second later the nose was on the ground and both props struck the runway and we continued to slide approximately 400 feet until aircraft came to rest.
