Description of the training event

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) 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.

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.
