Description

Are you teaching online, or do you want to use technology and apps in your classes? Then this course is the one for you. By taking this course, you will learn how to incorporate technology and apps into your classes.

This is the course that you need to transform from a technophobe to a technophile teacher. The course is useful for teachers who know how to use technology as well as those who feel there is a lot that they need to learn.

The eight sections of the course cover all that teachers need to use technology, such as teaching with Zoom, managing your class, activities, and tools to engage your learners and provide practice. The course covers some simple things that new teachers might appreciate, such as converting file types, taking screenshots, and sharing files. It also provides things for more experienced teachers, such as screencasting, using multiple screens for teaching, and activities to use in your classes.

This course is suitable for all teachers. However, some of the activities are suggested for English language teachers which all can be applicable when teaching other languages. Most of the activities can be adapted to other disciplines.

Some of the lessons include websites that would require you to create a free account.
