Session
Education and Development
Description
This study aims to show the results of the training module “Application of graphic, digital tools in education” that was conducted from the 3rd to the 4th of February 2023 at the Department of Foreign Languages, in the Faculty of Education, at “Fan S. Noli” University, Korca, Albania.
The study participants were 46 teachers and pre-service teachers from primary and secondary education schools in the Korca region. First, they learned how to use the digital graphic website: www.canva.com, in which they were able to create the following digital educational resources: lesson plans, worksheets, students’ profiles, presentations, posters for their classrooms, videos, socio-emotional activities, magazines, birthday cards, websites, whiteboard presentations, book covers, mind maps, comic strips, class schedule, concept maps, flyers, blog graphics, programs, and bookmarks. They also learned how to create classes and collaborate virtually with their students.
Another digital tool with which teachers and pre-service teachers were introduced was www.GoogleDocs.com. They learned how to group students to collaborate virtually on a topic the teacher chose.
The other tool was www.flipgrid.com, a free video learning platform where teachers and pre-service teachers could create networks – unique places to share topics for discussion among students. The latter could answer and contribute to these topics with short videos to create debates, discussions, and experiments.
The last tool that was introduced was www.miroboard.com. It was a platform where students could be grouped to discuss a topic.
After the training, teachers and pre-service teachers had to complete a questionnaire and hand in an assignment in which they used one of the above digital educational tools. The questionnaire results showed that all the teachers and the pre-service teachers correctly answered the questions about the functions of the above digital tools. The results of the assignments showed many examples of digital educational resources, with the hope that they will use them in their future teaching.
