INNOVATIVE METHODOLOGIES AND ICT TOOLS IN THE CLASSROOM IN ICELAND
This is a 6-day Erasmus training course from Sunday to Friday. The course refers to a broad range of teaching strategies which engage students as active participants in their learning process during class time with their instructor. Typically, these strategies involve some amount of students working together during class, but may also involve individual work and/or reflection.
Description
Cooperative Learning, Project Based Learning, Flipped Classroom and Blended learning are excellent examples of these active methodologies. These inclusive approaches provide teachers more opportunities to personalize the learning process of their students and can thereby increase their autonomy, motivation and self-direction.
Currently, Blended learning, the meaningful combination of learning at a distance and in school, through a careful choice of different tools and strategies, is becoming increasingly common in schools. Blended learning can therefore be an important step towards a competence-based education where the learner stands at the centre of an active learning process.
Moreover, the course provides innovative and engaging tools to integrate active methodology based on digital skills taking into account the content of the lessons and the curriculum. You will be able to use new technologies in the classroom, with special focus on the use of tablets as iPads or similar ones.
Learning objectives
The course covers all the needs to know the basic ideas of active methodologies and an effective digital classroom. In detail, the concrete goals of the course are:
- To understand the advantages of ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES to get a more engaged teaching.
- To learn to use a great range of new tools and resources for transforming the classroom into a ICT ENVIRONMENT LEARNING where students practice their digital skills.
- To introduce into the principles of COOPERATIVE LEARNING for designing cooperative learning structures in our classrooms.
- To add PROJECT BASED LEARNING in the daily practice of our classrooms offering to students activities more related with the real world and increasing their motivation.
- To know FLIPPED CLASSROOM methodology and learn how to introduce it in curriculums of different subjects.
- To design a BLENDED LEARNING SCENARIO to be implemented in our school.
Methodology & assessment
In addition, teachers will always have time to assess the information and the student’s job and redefine the contents and ways of working in order to improve the student’s skills. The expected training activity has been structured so that the participants can transfer know-how and develop needed skills once they return to their school with their own students.
Materials, digital tools & other learning resources
The company will provide the majority of materials to participants and all the course contents will be shared in a digital format. Regarding this, participants' digital tools will be improved and there will be any doubts about sharing the materials. Actually, a Google Drive access will be given to participants, so they can download everything that has been receiving during the training time. Furthermore, monitoring and mentoring arrangements will take place during and after the course.
