Learning outcomes

At the end of the laboratory students know the most important ICT; they are able to use ICT to find, assess, produce, present and exchange information and to communicate and participate to collaborative networks on Internet; they can analyze and evaluate critically tools and technologies for teaching and learning; they are able to use ICT for critical thinking, creativity and innovation; they are able to use ICT to design, document, monitor and assess didactical activities.

Course contents

During the workshop, participants will explore various educational technologies suitable for primary and early childhood education—ranging from electronic boards like Micro:bit and Makey Makey to creative software platforms such as Scratch and OctoStudio, as well as software dedicated to specific techniques, such as stop-motion animation. Students will work in small groups to design and simulate the classroom use of these devices by developing a collaborative teaching unit.

Specifically, students will learn to use educational technologies that support teaching in primary and early childhood settings, as well as applications for creating educational content.
