ICT in My Classroom: Enhance Students' Learning, Collaboration, Motivation and Creativity Across the CurriculumErasmus+ course summary
Despite technology being often considered a barrier for interpersonal relationships, skilled teachers know how to use technology in order to increase peer (classroom and international) collaboration, learning motivation and creative thinking, allowing students to show independence and build strong knowledge about a particular topic. This course aims to give teachers the necessary self confidence to integrate ICT into their regular teaching programme and to use it for their own pedagogical activities, with the help of the tools as podcasting, social media, movie making, blogging, digital storytelling, e-portfolio, wikis, webquest, tools for collaboration etc. "Technology will never replace great teachers, but technology in the hands of great teachers is transformational." – George Couros
