ACCESSIBLE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHERS

Over 50 percent of teachers worldwide are not digital natives and many work in schools that are not equipped with state-of-the-art technology. However, technology is an integral part of our students lives and today’s lessons need to reflect this. This course is designed for educators seeking to enhance their teaching practices through the effective integration of technology.

​

Participants will explore a range of digital tools and platforms that can be used to engage students, facilitate collaborative projects, and create dynamic learning experiences. The course covers key areas including how to encourage students to use technology responsibly, developing technology-driven projects, and creating interactive exercises.

​

Additionally, educators will delve into the emerging role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, learning how to leverage AI tools to personalize instruction and support student learning. The course aims to make technology accessible for all teachers no matter what their previous experience by covering the latest developments in e-learning and exploiting the potential of students’ own devices as learning tools.

 

Through practical, hands-on sessions you will learn how to create interactive lessons and digital content using basic online tools and apps that can be used in a primary or secondary school environment. Educators will document their progress throughout the course by posting updates in the form of videos, blogs etc on social media.
