In the evolving field of education technology (EdTech), there is a wide range of tools available that offer exciting possibilities. To help educators harness the power of these tools, we are offering a series of workshops that will focus on the most commonly used EdTech tools. Through these workshops, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how these tools can be integrated into their teaching practices, and they will be provided with practical examples of their application in real-world scenarios. This is a unique opportunity to explore and leverage these tools to enhance the educational experience for both teachers and students.
