Teaching in the Digital Age: Practical ICT Tools for Educators

How to integrate ICT tools and AI into everyday teaching to boost engagement, speed up lesson planning and create your own content — with a critical eye on digitalisation.

Three teachers working side by side on laptops around a table during a course at IIF

Digital tools are worth the effort when they save you time or get more students involved, and a waste of it otherwise. This course keeps that test in view throughout.

You will work hands-on with gamification platforms, interactive content builders and AI assistants, produce your own multimedia materials, and design a flipped-classroom lesson you can teach when you get back. The two school visits show you what local colleagues have actually adopted — and what they quietly dropped.

Highlights

Tools you will actually use

Baamboozle, Genially, Wakelet, Padlet, ConnectionsPlus.io — chosen for real classrooms, not for demos.

A critical look at AI

The pros and the cons of digitalisation and artificial intelligence in schools, discussed honestly.
