What will You Learn?
We are talking about good quality training for teachers in using technology at school. This is the step of creating a background for further education and getting ready for professional life for our kids. How to find the way to engage and reward teachers to explore and engage in their own professional development?
Why the companies that offer technology and tools for education that are based on technology are not focusing on educating teachers? What needs to be done for teachers to get engaged in using emerging technologies and tools?
We discover new tools that can be used in the classroom and talk on how to help teachers get on track with innovative technologies for teaching.
It is so important to teach kids road safety because we cannot influence road lights, so why don’t we teach children internet safety and give them social networking skills and technical understanding starting from the classroom?
