Description
As a result of the digital revolution, today’s pupils and students may find traditional activities, such as reading, exceedingly uninteresting, whereas they are naturally drawn to audiovisual information (e.g., videos, photos, and audio resources).
On the other hand, school teachers most often receive a traditional education and may feel unprepared to communicate with their students using digital jargon and tools.
This course will provide participants with a deeper understanding of how to apply basic digital tools and AI tools in the classroom and improve digital competencies for education.
Participants will explore the most relevant digital tools, apps, and platforms to enhance their lessons, increase student motivation, and simplify their workflow.
From creating visually compelling photos and videos to designing interactive quizzes and learning games, they will learn how to use technology to make education more dynamic and personalized, while saving time on their lesson planning and evaluations.
The course mixes practical workshops, group activities, and personalized projects, ensuring participants leave with ready-to-use skills and resources tailored to their teaching context.
Overall, it will promote educational excellence by enabling teachers, trainers, headmasters, and other educators to integrate new technology and social media into teaching and learning.
The course will provide a complete and all-encompassing review of edTech apps and AI tools for education. Participants will gain insight into the top teaching and student learning apps, digital solutions, and social platforms.
