Module 1 : The Digital Educator

 * This module is designed as a gentle introduction to the application of digital technologies in the classroom.

The key aims are:**
 * **to enable** **participants to introduce or support the use of digital technologies in learning and teaching ;**
 * **to improve the confidence of participants in the use of ICT in the educational environment;**
 * **to encourage participants to evaluate how ICT can impact on standards of learning and teaching.**


 * In any introductory module it is inevitable that some participants will find the activities challenging, whilst other will feel very confident. As this is a course designed to develop support skills we would hope that the more confident can support the less knowledgeable. From experience we will soon take the more confident out of their comfort zone, yet still develop a common foundation for everyone.
