Over the week, participants were introduced to a diverse set of digital tools and gained hands-on experience in applying them to create more engaging and interactive learning environments.

The course started with participants exploring interactive presentation platforms and collaboration tools, which allowed them to design more engaging, student-centered lessons. A highlight of the course was the chance to create their own school websites using drag-and-drop editors—giving them a practical opportunity to apply their new digital skills.

Recognizing the shift from traditional classrooms to online learning, the training focused on essential digital teaching tools.
