"Bringing Europe Closer”: KA1 - Staff training in the Czech Republic


António Mendes, one of our teachers of ICT, attended, from 25th to 29th May, the  course “ICT In Education Course” at ITC International TEFL certificate s.r.o., in Prague, Czech Republic.
António Mendes attended lessons on using e-learning in either a traditional classroom or an online setting and he considered that “with a mix of theoretical and practical knowledge, I practice the necessary skills in order to be able to effectively build my own e-learning systems. Using this theoretical knowledge, I then complete several practical tasks designed to teach how to properly and effectively use an e-learning platform. Incorporating my existing knowledge and experience I learned the importance of collaboration and shared creation in the e-learning process.
The improvement of language skills (the course was held in English) was also a major outcome according to António Mendes who considered that “the overall result of the course was very enriching and helped to increase my knowledge in the field of e-learning and the use of technology in the classroom”.
Upon his return to FORAVE, António Mendes shared his experience and his new knowledge  with the other teachers at FORAVE.
