Initially, they explored and experimented with ICT tools through activities with the trainer using different applications and platforms. This allowed them to see the benefits and importance of interactivity and the freedom to share new elements, which can enhance future lessons. These modern, playful tools aim to promote collaboration, participation, idea sharing, creativity, and alertness. Engaging in the digital world offered opportunities to practice online activities like quizzes, polls, presentations, educational games, and interacting with an AI educational platform.<br \/>\u200b<br \/>Following the exploration of each new tool, the trainer provided a brief theoretical explanation on how these tools can be created, shared online, and subsequently used by the participants for their own purposes.<\/p>\n<p>In the final stage of the session, participants independently created their own apps or platforms by following a step-by-step tutorial, which helped them better understand the settings. They sought further clarification and advice when needed. Despite their different needs, they shared a common goal of utilizing ICT tools to facilitate training and learning. Fortunately, they were able to save the tutorials and their creations from the week.<br \/>\u200b<br \/>Additionally, participants learned to create a website using simple steps. The course introduced them to an easy drag-and-drop tool to help them build a website for their schools.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"height:20px;overflow:hidden\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"489507018339152591-slideshow\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function(jQuery) {\nfunction init() { window.wSlideshow && window.wSlideshow.render({elementID:\"489507018339152591\",nav:\"none\",navLocation:\"bottom\",captionLocation:\"bottom\",transition:\"fade\",autoplay:\"1\",speed:\"5\",aspectRatio:\"auto\",showControls:\"true\",randomStart:\"false\",images:[{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5423.jpeg\",\"width\":800,\"height\":600,\"fullHeight\":800,\"fullWidth\":1067},{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5431.jpeg\",\"width\":800,\"height\":600,\"fullHeight\":800,\"fullWidth\":1067},{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5447.jpeg\",\"width\":800,\"height\":600,\"fullHeight\":800,\"fullWidth\":1067},{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5483.jpeg\",\"width\":800,\"height\":600,\"fullHeight\":800,\"fullWidth\":1067},{\"url\":\"6\/5\/6\/3\/65630323\/img-5493.jpeg\",\"width\":800,\"height\":600,\"fullHeight\":800,\"fullWidth\":1067}]}) }\njQuery(document).ready(init);\n})(window.jQuery)\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px;overflow:hidden\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\u200bBy the end of the course, participants could appreciate their progress in discovering and acquiring new skills in interactive learning.
