DIGITALIZATION AT SCHOOLS

This program aims to support school staff with ICT (Information and Communication Technology) based learning in their personal and professional development and school environment in line with priorities of the Erasmus plus Program.
As you know, students’ access to technology at school and home has increased astronomically over the last few years, which forces the teachers and trainers to use the ICT technology in their courses intensely to motivate the new generation of learners to learn, search and gather the information. Rapidly changing technology requires schools to integrate their teaching methods with ICT tools. So, teachers are expected to practice their newly developed skills in teaching. For this, teachers must have access to adequate training and ongoing professional development with that program. We aim that participants gain experience for themselves a variety of software and online tools to integrate technology into their classrooms and support them to be motivated to use new teaching and learning methods and techniques.
