68014 - Educational Technology Laboratory (G.D)

Course contents

The laboratory aims to introduce tools and methods of daily work that emphasize the teahcer’s potential and that are an opportunity to propose an active and laboratory teaching.

In particular, some features of e-learning platforms (Moodle and the G Suite) will be considered as sharing tools among teachers and between teachers and learners.

Some softwares not usually used for educational purposes (Liber Office, CmapsTools, Prezi, etc.) will be used as a support for school activities, within ( keeping in mind) the open source perspective.

The knowledge of new learning environments beyond the classroom and of the possible teaching strategies in these new contexts of study, will also play an important role.

Teaching methods

The course is organized in laboratory mode and includes both practical tests evaluated by the teacher during each meeting, and tests and/or essays to be submitted to the teacher at the end of the laboratory.

We will work individually (research and implementation of teaching materials and concept maps) and in small groups to produce a teaching unit.

Please note that one of the meetings will be held together with some students of the secondary school, in the role of tutor.
