Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Malta is currently in a pilot project on the use of tablets in education but has not enough experience and knowledge about today's key competences and skills needed in ICT, especially concerning the usability and accessibility of tablets for teaching and learning. Our college would benefit from qualified staff that can: • help in the development of a vision in the national policy plan on innovative ways of digital learning and the use of tablets; • since the participants work as eLearning support teachers, they would disseminate the knowledge acquired from this course with their colleagues in other colleges; • create standing structures and models for innovation for digital transformation (the use of tablets in education); • accommodate the importance of technology (the use of tablets) in education and how this affects teaching and learning; • introduce teachers and ICT technicians into the concepts and tools important for the use of tablets in education; • learn the theory and practices concerning new opportunities for teaching and learning through using tablet computers; • synchronise tablets and PCs to create, present, engage and access students in active learning; • learn about Flipped Classrooms and the role of tablets; • learn basic media production skills using different apps (text, photo, pdf, audio, screen); • produce a video inquiry, and know the elements of creating quality short video productions; • learn about the possibilities for sharing and publishing videos content online - privacy, ownership and safety discussion. Our college acknowledges the benefits of the use of tablets in education and how this affects teaching and learning. The participants will learn the theory and practices concerning new opportunities for teaching and a range of free apps covering different content and activities to support learning, communication and self-assessment (digital photography, video, audio usability, presentation apps, assessment, evaluation, gamefication, etc.) They will also identifying and reviewing practical tablet applications for educators, news and media applications useful for educators and their students (creating text, video clips, podcasts, presentations, screencasting, images, pdf files, mindmaps, etc.) The participants are regularly involved in staff professional development training in our college through in-service training courses and Professional Development sessions. They also meet regularly with their colleagues who work in the other colleges in Malta and thus they would be able to disseminate the information gained from this course.
