Digital Game-Based Learning and Augmented Reality for Schools

Description

Concept by Lorenzo Gaspari

Intermediate Computer Proficiency required. Read more »

Intermediate computer proficiency courses are designed for individuals who already have good understanding of technology. Participants will build upon their skills by learning how to use a variety of resources, including learning apps, Microsoft 365 apps, and photo and video editing platforms.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that teachers should make available activities that are capable of involving students in the learning process. Games and digital tools are terrains that amplify reality and that educators must explore to move in that direction. 

Games and technology represent perfect environments to facilitate exploration, having a strong impact on a student’s ability to learn by doing and immediate acquisition of knowledge and skills. 

While playing and interacting with different forms of reality, students can sometimes learn without even realizing it! Fun and engagement are the backgrounds on which abilities and understanding are constructed.

Theory and practice are smoothly integrated into the process of solving issues within the scope of a game. 

By the end of the course, participants will have understood how learning chances, learning reinforcements, stimuli, autonomy, and collaboration are part of game-based learning.

They will be able to appreciate the pros and cons connected to different techniques.

They will be confident in selecting the best game-based activities depending on their teaching goals and their students’ needs.

Stelios Seraskerisfrom Greece
5 stars

First of all the environment that the instructor created was warm and friendly and it brougth all the participants together. I enjoyed the activities because they gave us the opportunity to cooperate productively. The teacher gave me valuable information and some very good ideas that I can apply to in my lessons. Overall it was a very interesting course!

David Ferreira
5 stars

The course was about a subject that interests me deeply: making learning more efficient, with less work for students...All in all, it was an excellent experience, in a great environment and with an extremely competent trainer.
