Make Maths and Science teaching attractive!
The goal of this course is to introduce teachers to concepts and tools that focus on the pedagogical use of digital tools in the field of Mathematics and Science that enable teachers to plan better and more efficient lessons.
Participants will receive training on how to use different tools and strategies in their classrooms in order to engage their students in their own learning and support their academic growth.
Moreover participants will receive training in nontraditional learning methods in the classroom such as gamification, coding, STEAM etc.
Thus, at the end of this course, participants will have a better understanding of the benefits of using digital tools while teaching Math or Science and they will have improved the skills and competences that are required for effectively teaching their students. ​
