This one-week course at Europass Teacher Academy in Berlin gave us a lot of hints on how to successfully integrate ICT tools at school as well as improving teaching to motivate and engage our students in our classrooms, making sure they can be responsible for their learning. No doubt the use of ICT tools in education enables students to critical thinking and problem-solving skills and leaves them better prepared to communicate, create, disseminate, store, and manage information.

The sessions were really very interesting, and we actually explored the most relevant ICT tools for teaching, exchanged best practices and shared materials among the groups and talked about teaching competences, cross-curricular themes (bullying & cyberbullying, for instance) and how to better innovate, accelerate, enrich, and extend our digital skills.

We would like to thank to Mr. Francesco Molinari, our teacher trainer and Mr. Frederico, our helpful guide who led us in two outstanding cultural tours across the city centre of Berlin and the nearby city of Potsdam (both included in the course programme) for this unforgettable week!
