About the Course
A common challenge that teachers face in the traditional classroom setting is getting all students actively involved. Here, well-chosen technology can help pupils to move from ‘audience' into active learners. ICT provides opportunities for students to be active in different ways that support their own learning styles. This also can help the teacher to move away from the teacher-led lessons. In this course the participants will reflect on the pedagogical principles which enable interactive and collaborative learning settings and environments. The participants will learn in this course tools and methodologies to increase and enhance the level of interaction in the classroom, such as presenting and collaboration, digital storytelling, video and audio, interactive exercises, and gamification.
The course combines both hands-on activities and background information that will enable teachers to transform their teaching practices into one that promotes active learning. It also facilitates innovative learning environments and the use of relevant educational technology. The course emphasizes collaborative and peer learning through communication and collaboration with a multicultural group of participants, sharing best practices, etc.
This course is aimed at teachers and other school staff at primary and secondary levels of all subjects, enthusiastic to create innovative learning opportunities and discover interactive technologies for teaching and learning.
All courses will be delivered in English, and participants must have at least solid basic skills in English (listening, speaking) to be able to follow instructions and fully engage in the course activities.
