Teachers are expected not only to keep up with new technologies, but to understand how they can genuinely support learning, save time, and spark curiosity, without overwhelming students or themselves. That balance was at the heart of a week-long training course in Athens, where educators from across Europe came together to<strong> explorehow ICT, digital tools, and artificial intelligence can be used thoughtfully in everyday teaching.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From <strong>16 to 22 November 2025,<\/strong> the course \u201c<strong>Integrating ICT, New Technologies and AI Tools into Teaching and Education\u201d<\/strong> took place in Athens, Greece, bringing together a diverse group of participants. Joining the training were Grita and Milda from Radviliskis Grazina Basic School (Lithuania); Manuela from I.I.S. Prever Pinerolo (Italy); Alessandra, Giovanna, and Ernesto from Istituto Tecnico Statale \u201cVincenzo Arangio Ruiz\u201d (Italy); Joanna, Ma\u0142gorzata, Agnieszka, and El\u017cbieta from Szko\u0142a Podstawowa im. Bohater\u00f3w Warszawy (Poland); Gianluca from IC Livatino Ficarazzi (Italy); Mateja and Andreja from O\u0160 Ljudski vrt Ptuj (Slovenia); and Francesco and Maurizio from IPSSEOA \u201cGiovanni Falcone\u201d (Italy). Different school levels, subjects, and national contexts made discussions richer and more grounded in real classroom experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-0d44f224\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider glide\" data-per-view=\"1\" data-gap=\"0\" data-peek=\"0\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-height=\"400px\" data-hide-arrows=\"false\"><div class=\"glide__track\" data-glide-el=\"track\"><div class=\"glide__slides\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item-wrapper glide__slide\" tabindex=\"0\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-21-at-22.05.15.jpeg\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item lazyload\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-id=\"4307\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-21-at-22.05.15.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-id=\"4307\"><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item-wrapper glide__slide\" tabindex=\"0\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_0920.jpeg\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item lazyload\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-id=\"4310\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_0920.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-id=\"4310\"><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item-wrapper glide__slide\" tabindex=\"0\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_0967.jpeg\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item lazyload\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-id=\"4308\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_0967.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-id=\"4308\"><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item-wrapper glide__slide\" tabindex=\"0\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_0944.jpeg\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item lazyload\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-id=\"4309\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-slider-item\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_0944.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-id=\"4309\"><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"glide__bullets\" data-glide-el=\"controls[nav]\"><button class=\"glide__bullet\" data-glide-dir=\"=0\"><\/button><button class=\"glide__bullet\" data-glide-dir=\"=1\"><\/button><button class=\"glide__bullet\" data-glide-dir=\"=2\"><\/button><button class=\"glide__bullet\" data-glide-dir=\"=3\"><\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The week was structured as a gradual journey, with each day building on the previous one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course opened with a shared introduction to artificial intelligence in education, focusing on what AI actually is, and what it isn\u2019t. Participants reflected on their own expectations and concerns, while experimenting with collaborative digital spaces that allow students to brainstorm, reflect, and share ideas in real time. <strong>Live polling and word-cloud activities<\/strong> helped set a relaxed, participatory tone and showed how even simple tools can give every student a voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next stage focused on making learning more active. Teachers explored different ways to <strong>design quizzes, games, and quick assessments<\/strong> that can turn revision into an engaging experience. Friendly competition, instant feedback, and adaptability to different subjects were key themes. The group tested activities as learners first, then discussed how to adapt them for different age groups and classroom realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Midweek shifted toward a more reflective pace. After a daily wrap-up session, the group explored the theoretical side of AI, including how<strong> language-based systems<\/strong> work and what this means for teaching and learning. Participants experimented with AI-supported note-taking and content organization, while openly discussing ethical questions, reliability, and how to <strong>guide students<\/strong> toward responsible use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-23-at-14.46.31-1-1024x681.jpeg\" data-id=\"4311\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4311 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-id=\"4311\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-23-at-14.46.31-1-1024x681.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-23-at-14.46.31-1-1024x681.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-23-at-14.46.31-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-23-at-14.46.31-1-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-23-at-14.46.31-1-1536x1021.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-23-at-14.46.31-1-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-23-at-14.46.31-1.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday was lighter by design. A guided conversation allowed participants to share opinions, doubts, and experiences related to<strong> AI in schools,<\/strong> from excitement to hesitation. With time to explore Athens independently, informal discussions continued outside the classroom, strengthening<strong> professional connections and cultural exchange.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final day focused on practical classroom application. Teachers worked with<strong> AI-assisted text generation<\/strong>, visual presentation tools, and simple design platforms to create teaching materials that were clear, engaging, and time-efficient. The course closed with reflections on learning outcomes and the awarding of certificates, marking both an ending and a starting point. By the end of the week, participants left Athens with more than just <strong>new digital ideas<\/strong>. They gained confidence in experimenting, a clearer understanding of how AI can support, not replace, teaching, and a network of colleagues facing similar challenges across Europe. Most importantly, they returned home with practical strategies that feel realistic, adaptable, and ready to use in real classrooms.
