LTA CADIZ

Participants of this activity will be 3 teachers from each school and 3 workers of each educational institute who are experts and have previous experience with digital testing tools, applications for the classroom, QR codes, and augmented reality. Every participant will lead a part of the common training to achieve sharing of experience. Teachers will show examples of tests in various general and vocational subjects and learn new digital tools during the workshops on 2 and 3 days. Workers of training institutes will provide a methodology to formative assessment.

Goals of the activity:

Day 1

Common discussion about disadvantaged groups of students, finding possibilities how to involve them in blended learning. Common workshop to digital testing tools. Participating teachers will share their experience with digital testing tools, which they have used in lessons, they will together create a tool kit to them usable for other teachers and collect examples of worksheets with these tools. These worksheets will become a part of the digital manual. - Google/Microsoft Forms - Quizzes and Quizlet - Kahoot - Actionbound - Mentimeter Getting to know about Kahoot Academy, which is a unique online community and knowledge platform that lets educators access and share high-quality learning content, build a profile, and join communities based on their subjects and interests. Common workshop about formative assessment, in hybrid classroom teachers, can use online formative assessments like those inside applications such as Kahoot or Padlet. Providing students with online formative assessments during their in-home/virtual classroom time allows immediate feedback to the student and the teacher and helps the teacher maximize the focus of the in-person learning time.

Day 2

Participants will learn about different tools to create video tutorials to insert into the digital platforms used for teaching. Teachers can use many types of videos in socially distant classes such as an explanatory video, a step-by-step tutorial, a review, a demo, a recorded video presentation, etc. Video lessons are ideal for the flipped classroom and can be incorporated in almost any learning situation. - Chrome extensions: Screencastify, Loom - Edpuzle - Screencast-O-Matic - SMRecorder - Camtasia - ShotCut - Filmora

Day 3

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about tools to work with Augmented Reality (AR) and QR Codes Apps in education. Augmented reality in education represents a new learning/teaching approach and affects the conventional learning process. AR has the potential to change the location and timing of studying, to introduce new and additional ways and methods. Augmented reality animated content in classroom lessons could catch students’ attention in our dynamic day and age, as well as motivate them to study. Adding extra data, e.g. a short bio of a person, fun facts, historical data about sites or events, visual 3D models, would give students a wider understanding of topics. - Mergecube AR - Aurasma - Layar - Quiver - Chromville - Kaywa - QR-Code - GoQR

Results of the activity:

- gaining digital skills in the branch of video tutorials and augmented reality

- enhancing methodology skills related to formative assessment

- comparing and contrasting summative and formative assessment

- creating materials for a digital manual

- choosing 1-2 suitable applications from presented augmented reality/QR codes and video tutorials and starting to use them in classes

- suggesting courses for in-service teachers related to these topics, especially to disadvantaged students, and including them into the plan of educational institutions
