"Integrating New Technologies, Applications and Social Media into Teaching and Education"
This training course is designed to equip teachers from schools with the necessary skills, knowledge, and strategies to effectively integrate new technologies, applications, and social media into their teaching practices. This course aims to enhance educators' digital literacy, foster innovative teaching methodologies, and facilitate the creation of engaging, interactive learning environments.
Description
As the educational landscape undergoes rapid changes, teachers must adapt to new technologies, methodologies, and approaches. This course aims to broaden the skill set of teachers beyond their subject matter expertise, helping them to navigate the changes brought about by the pandemic and remote learning.
The course is structured to foster mobility among teachers and staff members, thereby boosting their confidence and encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones. This approach is designed to enhance language skills, engage in new technologies, explore innovative teaching methods, and support overall professional development.
This course is a strategic initiative to bridge the current skill gaps, encourage adaptability in the face of changing educational demands, and enhance the overall quality of teaching and learning in our institution.
