The main goal of the course is to help pre-school and school teachers creating a holistic approach to support development of their pupils during the pandemic and post-pandemic times by creating multimedia and web based objects. The key word for our course is “interaction”. The course will present different types of interactive multimedia and web based materials teachers can create and use in online and onsite education.The suggested approaches in the course are regarding Education 2030 Agenda.
The pre-school teachers: Throughout the course, participants will get familiar with the innovative methodological approach of using multimedia and online based materials in the kindergartens by the method “learning by doing”. They will learn how to apply different activities to encourage child's development in five main areas: cognitive development, social and emotional development, speech and language, fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Despite presenting innovative best practice, the course shows how basic psychological needs of safety, belongingness and self-esteem needs to be put on the first place during the kindergartens closures. The pre-school teachers can create multimedia materials for parents, to provide interaction and support with health habits, games, and reading; understand the perspective of children and connect the home situation with age-specific development; and prepare for challenges while being flexible in their expectations.
The school teachers: The participants from the different school levels will get familiar with the innovative methodological approach in the education, of creating and using interactive multimedia and web based materials in the fields of science, mathematics, humanistic studies and sports obtained within several workshops led by the method “learning by doing”. The course shows how basic psychological needs of safety, belongingness and self-esteem needs to be put on the first place when using web-based educational resources. The participants will acquire competences to design and implement lesson topics, based on implementation of multimedia materials, web based platforms for simulations, video as tool for students assessment (flipgrid), interactive video instructions, to create branched scenarios to create interactive educational materials etc.
