ICT in the Classroom (2 Hours)

Who is this course for?

You are a teacher who wants to improve how you use ICT and digital tools in the classroom.

You are a teacher who would like a better understanding of what tools are easy to use and effective.

You are a teacher who wants to gain confidence and competence in your use of ICT.

You are a teacher who wants to take risks and learn new ways of doing things.

This course is suitable for teachers working at all levels.

By the end of this course, you will:

• Know how to engage students in learning by using digital tools, instead of worrying about which ones to use.
• Have clear, practical guidance on using ICT to enhance teaching and learning, instead of scrawling the internet for ideas.
• Feel empowered to take the next step in your journey to becoming a digitally savvy teacher, instead of feeling unsure of what to do next.
• Be able to support colleagues with ideas and know-how for their classroom, instead of being unable to help or offer suggestions.

“Great ICT starter course. Lets you dip your toe into some really accessible and helpful resources that can be used daily in the classroom. Definitely recommend to someone with little knowledge of how to integrate ICT into the classroom”.

All teachers are welcome on this CPD course. Feedback from teachers who have undertaken this online course say that it would suit those in the classroom for many years as well as support new and student teacher’s needs.
