Using Technology in the Classroom
Become more confident integrating technology into the classroom with a course that provides a hands-on approach
This course is for teachers who want to improve their lesson design and delivery using technology and improve the overall approach to technology in their schools.
The last few years have proven the importance of being able to use different types of technology in the classroom to improve the learner experience.
This course will teach practical skills such as podcasts and vlogs to broaden the teaching toolkit and is ideal for those who wish to share ideas on best practice with colleagues from across Europe. It can help to improve the overall approach to using technology in schools and, as a result, ensure better integration and greater student engagement in learning inside and outside the school.
