ICT in your class
technology
The ICT in your class course aims to introduce teachers to new technologies, and prepare them for the new era of teaching. It leads to a Level 7 EQC Certificate, accompanied by a Europass Certicicate Supplement with 10 transferable ECVET points.
The course is specifically designed to help teachers of various fields to increase their skills in using technology in their lessons by showing them – in a simple way! – how to incorporate free web 2.0 tools in their teaching.
During the course, the participants will learn how to:
Participants will practice their newly acquired knowledge in a real time scenario in which they will visit and study a place of interest (e.g. ancient Messini, historical center of Kalamata, etc) and prepare online lessons for the chosen field. In that way the course will work in another level combined the ICT skills with the European Culture and history.
At the end of this course, the expected objectives for participants will be:
The main aspect of the course is to promote collaboration between participants. Lessons will be held in our computer lab and all around the city as the main objective is to learn while having fun. Our approach is to base the teaching process in practical rather than theoretical knowledge. The course is designed to learn from the practice and to be able at the end of the course the participant to be able to effectively use their own e-learning environments.
The course is hosted in a fully equipped computer lab and it is not necessary for participants to have their own equipment with them
Every participant will have to fill a questionnaire which helps the trainers to customize the course to better fit their needs. Attendants will get instructions and material which will help them to be prepared for the courses needs.
During the course, we may also organize study visits to a local school for participants that ask for one according to school availability. Popular study visits include:
Each study visit is structured and accompanied by reflective activities. There is no extra cost for these study visits.
There are two outdoor learning activities: a gamified tour of the town and a visit to a local historical site. The onsite visit is accompanied by non-formal European history learning activities, as well as activities that link this history to the course topic. There is no extra cost for these activities.
There is also an optional social programme for those interested. This programme may include an intercultural night, lunches and dinners at different restaurants, going out for a drink or coffee, or even an extra excursion – if there is time! These activities depend on participant needs and wants, and those participating in them will have to pay for what they choose to eat and drink. If there is an optional excursion, they will also have to pay van costs and any other expenses (e.g. museum tickets)
The participants will get material which includes information about all the areas covered at the course, lesson plans, all the produced outcomes of the course, useful links and more.
The above material can be freely used by the partisipants at their school.
This course is for every teacher in primary, secondary or vocational training. Only very basic knowledge of computer handling is needed!!
The duration of the course is 7 training days and the cost is 560€

We have never canceled a course. We offer our courses only at our headquarters in Kalamata and only a few times per year. As a result, on top of being able to offer quality services all around, we do not have to fly trainers all over the globe and worry about local agents and the extra costs that these incur.
