The digital future is happening now. Our 5-day Teacher training course is designed for innovative teachers who wants to take one step forward and to make a difference in their teaching methods in digital future. 

 

In this course, we do not only show you the digital tools, we actually apply them  during the training by creating websites, assignments, infographics, quizzes etc. to foster innovation in your own classroom. Thus, teachers will have an experience  when it comes to apply these tools in their own classroom. With the right mix of instructional support and appropriate devices, these digital tools can help strengthen student creativity, collaboration and critical thinking skills. This course is based more on ‘hands-on approach’ and participants are advised to bring their own laptops, tablets etc. Participants will work in groups and/or  individually based on the nature of the content.

 

By completing this course, participants will;  

 

• Recognise the importance of ICT in education
