Pedagogical Pathways

As an ICT teacher, I will make use of Microsoft Office in my lessons to equip students with essential skills in word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. However, I will also explore and incorporate other versatile tools such as Canva. Canva is an excellent resource for creating visually appealing presentations, logos, front page designs and more. By integrating Canva into my curriculum, I will ensure students gain experience with a broader range of digital tools, fostering their creativity and enhancing their design capabilities.

In my ICT lessons, I plan to explore a variety of topics including digital literacy, cyber-security and coding. I aim to enhance the students’ understanding of online safety and data protection principles to navigate and protect digital environments effectively. Additionally, I will focus on developing practical skills in programming languages such as ScratchJr and PictoBlox, which will enable students to create their own animations.

Through hands-on projects and collaborative activities, my aim is to actively engage students in projects and competitions also beyond the classroom and participate in European Education platforms such as eTwinning and EU Code Week. By participating in these initiatives, students will enhance their academic skills, cultural awareness and teamwork abilities. These experiences will not only enrich their educational journey but also prepare them for future academic and professional challenges by providing practical applications of their knowledge and fostering a global perspective.
