Description

In a world where information is abundant but time and attention are limited, teaching students to think clearly, creatively, and critically is more important than ever. This hands-on course equips teachers with digital tools and strategies to help students organise their thoughts, explore ideas visually, and use technology—including AI—intentionally and responsibly.

Participants will explore visual thinking methods, such as mind mapping and concept design, and learn how to integrate artificial intelligence in meaningful and age-appropriate ways. Throughout the training, we will focus on how these tools support metacognition, collaboration, and differentiated instruction in diverse classrooms.

Aims and objectives:

The course uses active learning methods, including interactive workshops, digital tool exploration, collaborative tasks, and practical project design. Educators will be encouraged to create ready-to-use materials and test ideas with peers in a supportive, creative environment.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of the course, participants will:

• Understand and apply visual thinking and mapping tools in the classroom
  
• Gain confidence in using AI tools for planning and instruction
  
• Develop digital materials and projects to support learner thinking
  
• Enhance student engagement, metacognition, and creativity
  
• Reflect critically on the role of technology in 21st-century education

Target groups: 

• Primary and secondary school teachers, teacher trainers, digital coordinators, and educational innovators who want to enhance their classroom practice with visual and AI-supported tools.
