Integrar as TIC, as novas tecnologias e as ferramentas de IA no ensino e na educação

It is not always easy to keep the classroom motivated, engaged and enthusiast when it comes to teaching. This is when ICT tools such as apps and web platforms become essential in helping teachers to communicate and transfer knowledge while also maintaining their students’ full attention. Nowadays it is fundamental to know our way around interactive learning so that we can offer our students an alternative and non traditional style of learning and keep them engaged.

The new edition of the course “Integrating ICT and new technologies into teaching and education​” took place in Palermo from 16/11/2025 to 22/11/2025. The participants came from all across Europe, from Germany Julia and Kerstin from Peter Paul Cahensly Schule Limburg; Anastasia, Bernd, Henning and Alexandra from Bildungsakademie Gesundheit Nord Bremen, and Metin from Paritätisches Bildungswerk Bremen, Veronica from Cork Education and Training Board in Ireland and Kolbrún, Lísebet and Unnur from Menntaskólinn á Tröllaskaga in Iceland.

During this course the participants learnt how to use a vast range of technological tools and to put them into use by integrating it into their teaching methods.
First of all they had a look at some presentations and collaborative tools that are very effective when it comes to teaching. Such tools can be used in fact for a variety of purposes: preparing tests, introducing a new subject or summing up an old one, challenging the students’ to create their own work in order to engage their creativity… Interactive presentations in particular are extremely helpful to energize students and get their attention and make them feel involved during the classes.

In addition, participants also received some assessment with ICT tools following a few easy steps. Thanks to this course this group was able to experiment with some tools that could help them create new ideas for the classrooms and promote gamification, making new activities and making games to help improve the learning process.
During these past years, traditional education has had to make room for Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, it was inevitable for this course to discuss the use of AI in schools. We explored the possibilities that AI offers and how to implement it in the classroom as a tool to create new activities in which pupils can feel involved, while reducing the time teachers need to spend preparing them. We also explored applications that are useful for holding online classes, such as virtual whiteboards that help create engaging and captivating online lessons, as well as collaborative learning experiences.

Moreover, the participants had the chance to dive into the technological world with plenty of practical activities such as interactive presentations, virtual quizzes, learning how to create engaging social media content, using tools dedicate to organizing graphics, posters and collages and much more.

This course allowed participants to confront themselves with each other and learn from their shared experiences. The participants left this course with a new knowledge of interactive learning and a new set of tools, ready to use them in their classrooms. There is no doubt that this approach will increase the students’ creativity, engagement, attention and motivation and help transform learning into a fun and
dynamic activity!
