Digital Thinking Tools in the Classroom – Visual Mapping, Design & AI Integration
In a world where information is abundant but time and attention are limited, teaching students to think clearly, creatively, and critically is more important than ever.
Description
This hands-on course equips teachers with digital tools and strategies to help students organise their thoughts, explore ideas visually, and use technology—including AI—intentionally and responsibly.
Participants will explore visual thinking methods, such as mind mapping and concept design, and learn how to integrate artificial intelligence in meaningful and age-appropriate ways. Throughout the training, we will focus on how these tools support metacognition, collaboration, and differentiated instruction in diverse classrooms.
Learning objectives
The course uses active learning methods, including interactive workshops, digital tool exploration, collaborative tasks, and practical project design. Educators will be encouraged to create ready-to-use materials and test ideas with peers in a supportive, creative environment.
