Overview
Teaching is no longer confined to four walls—and neither are the opportunities to connect, inspire, and empower learners. In a digital-first world, educators need more than just awareness of technology; they need the confidence to use it seamlessly and creatively.
This webinar offers a practical roadmap for teachers/trainers who want to simplify their workload, spark engagement, and reach every learner through technology—without the need for expensive platforms or steep learning curves.
You’ll be introduced to a powerful toolkit of free, easy-to-use applications that can transform your teaching practice. From Canva for creating eye-catching visuals, to Trello for keeping projects on track, and Loom for delivering clear explanations. You’ll discover how these tools can save time and boost impact. You’ll also explore interactive platforms such as Padlet, Mentimeter, and Kahoot! to make learning more collaborative, participatory, and fun.
Alongside the tools, you’ll gain strategies for blending online and in-person teaching, building flexible learning journeys, and ensuring no student is left behind. Practical examples will show how small changes can make a big difference—whether you’re enhancing lesson delivery, encouraging collaboration, or breaking down barriers to inclusion.
