About the class

This webinar is hosted in English

Sophia Mavridi will discuss Too many tools, too little time

Using digital tools in the classroom can revolutionise teaching and learning but with the growing number of options available, it is easy to get overwhelmed. How can we best assess the educational potential of a web tool or application? How can we look past the bells and whistles and make pedagogically sound choices? In this interactive talk, we will explore effective and practical ways to help you evaluate digital tools and make informed decisions about whether - or not - to integrate them into your classroom.
