Methodology & assessment
Therefore, the course has a very practical approach. Each of the participants will have the possibility of creating a game of their own so as to practise Scratch and App Inventor features and be able to pass this knowledge on to their students. Participants will be briefly introduced with a theoretical overview, combined with practice, on programming without code by means of using blocks.
Participants will get a critical overview of the different kind of tools that might be used regarding the learning objectives in each context; they will be able to choose the best tools according to the educational circumstances.
Materials, digital tools & other learning resources
This course equips participants to teach programming, improve digital skills, and develop innovative teaching methods. They’ll use tools like App Inventor to create apps, stimulate logical thinking, and introduce IT through games. Participants gain critical insights into tech tools for diverse educational contexts and learn no-code programming with blocks. Materials include programming guides, digital tools, and activity templates.
Certification details
The participants will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the course including their full name, project information, duration of the course (25 hours) and location of the course, according to the Erasmus+ standards.
