ICT and Collaborative Creativity towards the classroom of 21st century

The aim of the Professional Development Programme is to promote collaborative creativity through the use of ICT as one of the most important tools for teachers, in order to respond critically to the demands of our times.
“ICT and Collaborative Creativity towards the Classroom of the 21st Century: From Theory to practice” concerns the pedagogical use of ICT for teachers, as a means to cultivate the skills of Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Thinking.
More specifically, the trainees will become familiar with interactive applications of Augmented Reality and Digital Storytelling (e.g comics), combined with Land Art, Pedagogical Theatre, Art and Craft of Pedagogy, and finally Dance Pedagogy, in order to produce learning designs and scenarios in which the learners will be creative and engaged.
During the course, the teachers will visit historical and natural monuments of the island of Crete.
