Apps and social media to help with teaching

Italian / English language course

Use social media as public spaces for expression and construction of European citizenship and exploit the educational opportunities of digital technologies in a safe school environment.
Have students build an app to create a personalized learning path

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Teach how to use and build Apps
  • Use social media safely and for educational purposes
  • Understanding and using AI as a valid teaching aid not as a dangerous enemy
  • Create a video lesson (Teacher and AI Avatar)
Metodology and Assessment

All our courses include an active and participatory methodology. Each phase of the training is focused on achieving the objectives set and participants are constantly encouraged to carry out practical experiences to replicate in the classroom with their students. Our methodology is based above all on communication and practical learning. Throughout the process, digital tools that improve both the understanding and production of texts will provide valid help and support.
For each module, final group work is used which stimulates discussion and creates motivating learning experiences by putting each planned action into a situation.
