Make ICT and Outdoor Learning part of your classroom

Get a sense of the most important new technologies, as well as the expanding trend of incorporating ICT into education.

These courses can also be funded through the Erasmus+ program. For more

Course overview

As a result of the digital revolution, today's pupils may find traditional activities like reading to be exceedingly uninteresting, whereas they are naturally drawn to audiovisual information (e.g., videos, photos, and audio resources).

Their teachers, on the other hand, who most often received a more traditional education, may feel unprepared to communicate with their students using digital jargon and tools. 

The aim of this course is to gain a broader understanding of applying ICT tools in your classroom, as well as improve digital abilities in the classroom and outdoor learning. 

The overall goal is to promote educational excellence by enabling teachers, trainers, headmasters, and other educators to integrate new technology and outdoor learning into teaching and learning.

This course will give you insight into the top teaching and student learning apps, digital solutions, and tools for outdoor learning. 

It provides a complete and all-encompassing review of ICT and social technologies for education; this is your first "digital" step.

Methodology
With the aim to involve active participation and achieve the best learning experience, the course methodology is based on dynamic, innovative and creative methods of experiential learning.
It consists of:
Theoretical work - If you do not know what you are talking about, you will not be able to apply it. Nowadays, more and more emphasis is put on practical learning, yet theory is a necessity. You have to know the background of a subject to be able to pinpoint its challenges.
Practical work - Through practical workshops and interactive tasks you will gain personal experience that will help you understand and implement ideas in your own work.
Coaching - Each participant in the course will get the opportunity to receive direct feedback from our coaches. These individual consultations will result in being able to better position your skills in your respected organisation.
