Using ICT in the classroom presented by DigiCape
In a changing world where new technologies emerge almost daily, the role of the teacher has never been more important. As a teacher, we need to facilitate our learners’ classroom experience and also ignite their passion for learning. Join us in this session to see how you are able to leverage the power of simple tools on the iPad to create an immersive experience of learning and foster creativity, not only in the classroom but within your learners’ minds using the technology of their time. This is a hands on practical workshop and no prior experience of iPads or tablets is required.
