During the week of 15-18 May 2019, 9 teachers, coordination staff and ICT experts participated in CIDET to attend the course “New ICT based learning models” within the framework of the project “EdExNet – An Educational Network of Experts for Implementation of digital teaching”.

During these 4 days, we had the opportunity to train our colleagues at the Università delle LiberEtà FVG (Udine, Italy) on the following aspects: The importance of digital competences in students, but also for teachers, who with the help of a techno-pedagogical dynamizer can design new activities based on information and communication technologies (ICTs), and thus make learning more experiential, useful, and profitable. The teacher (who can be of any subject) must be aware of the potentialities of technology-enabled education.

This is the first step that must be transmitted to the student, making him/her a participant in the pleasure and enjoyment of ICTs.we have taught different websites and ICT tools so that they can use them in their classes, both in face-to-face and online classes. We make it possible for the student to acquire other skills such as creativity, problem solving, communication, teamwork, etc.

Finally, another big block has allowed us to teach methods, pedagogies, techniques and eLearning environments, with numerous examples, where teachers have been able to learn and adopt what most interested them for their own subjects, ICT education holds a treasure, and we hope that thanks to this Erasmus KA1 course have inspired our colleagues in Udine in the use of educational ICT with new methods and proposals. the subject matter we have taught has been the subject of eLearning, with new methods and proposals.
