Tap-Swipe-Pinch Learning with the best apps

Target group

• Teachers / management of primary and secondary schools.
• Remark: m-devices (iOS, Android, Windows tablet Pcs and smartphones recommended) are welcome at the course. Participants get updated lists of apps with practical examples of use to take back to their classes. The course is focusing on pedagogical use of m-devices and apps in schools. Each participant needs to bring his own device and we expect that each participant has basic knowledge of using it before the course. We do not provide m-devices.
