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.
