Getting started with Mobile Devices in a School Context

COURSE OVERVIEW

One of the first steps during the introduction of mobile devices in schools is integrating them successfully into existing structures, which includes more than just the school’s IT infrastructure. To achieve this, every colleague needs to possess a solid knowledge foundation about how the devices function and can be employed for the everyday demands of teaching. This course is geared towards those who have very little or no knowledge about mobile devices or are unsure about how to start using them. Participants will learn not only about the basic functions, but also how to manage their files and access their school’s existing file storages. With this foundation, they will then acquire the knowledge necessary for areas relevant to all subjects such as creating lesson materials or using digital whiteboard applications.
