Title of Workshop:
“PLAYING2LEARN” - Active teaching and learning through eTwinning
Workshop Leader:
Ms. Ketevan Papava-Lobzhanidze, eTwinning ambassador
Ms. Ketevan Papava-Lobzhanidze is currently a teacher with 16 years of experience teaching English in Batumi Public School #2 and five years of experience teaching the English Access Micro scholarship Program in Adjara. In addition to teaching, Ms. Papava-Lobzhanidze is a teacher trainer at the National Center for Teacher Professional Development, Ministry of Education and Science
The short attention spans and ubiquity of tech among the “selfie generation” pose unique challenges to teachers. Instead of engaging in the never-ending battle to stop tech use in class, why not encourage it? In this workshop, participants will experience several activities through an experiential learning cycle that will show them how it is possible for the students not to be passive recipients into which teachers deposit knowledge. Rather, students being active participants in their own education. ETwinning and its opportunity for cooperative projects can be useful in this respect as tools for encouraging student-directed learning. Through that, we aim to prepare students for life beyond the classroom. We try to impress upon our students the immense value of perseverance and positivity and to inspire them to be creative and confident in everything that they do.
A big smile and a sense of team spirit is required ;)
