This Erasmus+ training course equips you to become a tech-savvy educator who fosters a positive, enjoyable learning environment. By the end of the course, you will successfully master the integration of digital tools—such as apps, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence—into your teaching process to keep students engaged.

Course Objectives

To discuss and explore various ICT tools and apps which can be used in education

To explore how Artificial Intelligence can innovate teaching

To use digital apps for learning outside the classroom

To experience the positive effects of using digital platforms in education

To improve communication skills by working in transnational groups

This course has been designed for teachers of different subjects who wish to find out online resources for their teaching. The course will promote the use of digital tools which can supplement the teaching materials and which can help educators to motivate and engage their students. These digital tools (apps, digital platforms, online games, artificial intelligence) can be integrated into the established learning process with the aim of empowering students with the mindset and skills needed for their present and future success.

 

But using WEB 2.0 tools in education is not always an easy task. How do we know which online tool is the best solution for our classroom needs? Why would we invest time and energy in something that might end up in adding even more work?

We will try to solve this by first introducing a list of the best tools designed to support teaching and learning and then work with those which are most popular and useful. Participants are also expected to share their own experience so that the benefits of the course could multiply.

Moreover, we will explore the potential of AI in education, discussing how it can revolutionize teaching and learning and will examine various AI-driven tools and techniques that can enhance learning. Additionally, we will consider the ethical implications of AI use.

 

Another goal of the course is to equip participants with knowledge on how they can guide and help students to be digitally safe and to become confident explorers of the online world. To make the most of the digital tools at their disposal, our students need to know how to make smart and safe decisions. That is why teachers should be able to explain to them the fundamentals of digital citizenship and safety so that they can easily and securely explore the digital world.

A key driver for organising this training event is represented by the general opinion that young people are increasingly engaged with the games culture outside school rather than with the school itself. We can state that education has a lot of goals but, in fact, very few people would consider “to be fun” as one of its main goals. What we think is “no pain, no gain.” And this is exactly what we intend to improve in our training event.

 

Technology provides numerous tools that teachers can use in and out of the classroom to enhance student learning and help them stay engaged. As they are ‘proficient’ users of mobile devices it seems only logical to align today’s classrooms with the way our students are used to learning. But incorporating online tools into classroom experience is not always an easy task. How do we know which online tool is the best solution for our classroom need? Why would we invest time and energy in something that might end up in adding even more work?

We will try to solve this by first introducing a list of the best tools designed to support teaching and learning and then work with those which are most popular and useful. We chose them based on our teaching experience and also on that of our participants. 

Moreover, participants will explore the potential of AI in education, discussing how it can revolutionize teaching and learning and will examine various AI-driven tools and techniques that can enhance learning. Additionally, they will consider the ethical implications of AI use.

Combining new technology, outdoor activities and educational games with traditional classroom instruction can without any doubts enhance the learning experience and create new opportunities for teachers and students together.
