Following its successful run in Spring 2019, this short, practical course is running again to give new people the opportunity to attend. The course aims to help you become a ‘networked teacher’, developing your pedagogical digital competence, learning about collaborative and active approaches to teaching and learning and connecting with fellow student teachers from across Europe to share ideas and build your future professional learning network.
The course lasts four weeks and is divided into four modules, one module per week with an extra period of 10 days to catch up and complete the activities. We will open a new module every Monday, and all modules will remain open until the end of the course.

The course is designed particularly for pre-service student and beginning teachers in both primary and secondary education, to support the development of the pedagogical digital skills and competences for future teachers. It is open, and there is something for everyone, whatever your ICT competence. The course is designed to be easy with English understanding B1 (independent) and Writing A2 (basic) [ref. Europass language], supporting learning and interaction amongst colleagues across Europe for whom English is a second language.
At the end of each unit, there will a small quiz to demonstrate your involvement and understanding. Participants who complete all four quizzes will receive a certificate for completion of the full course. The final deadline to complete all activities is 20 November 2019, 23:59 CEST.
