WEB Solutions in Education and STEM / Maker Applications

A 1 week ERASMUS+ Teacher Training Course about the use of Web Platforms and ICT tools for the Classroom

SUGGESTED COMPUTER PROFICIENCY: BASIC

This course is designed for teachers who would like to further their knowledge on the use of ICT in class and to experiment with new enjoyable tools. The course will focus on web solutions such as Edmodo, Google educational tools, online Quizzes and others.

During the course, participants will learn by doing: working in groups, they will have the opportunity to test different tools directly and to share examples about how to use them in class.
The techniques acquired in the course will enable teachers to make their lessons more engaging for their students thus making them more effective.

Upon completion of the course teachers will be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of many different ICT tools and will know how to exploit them in the classroom in a safe and useful way.

Guided city tours and a one day excursion will be also part of the programme.
