Then, you will be introduced to a basic digital tool that can help you improve your skills.

Continue with the second part of creative thinking skills by introducing more complicated notions and by learning how to integrate innovative activities related to this topic into the classroom. Discover other ways to make classes more interactive, by audio-visual content.

Introduction on teamwork skills by giving definitions in basic concepts, explaining their importance and suggesting ways to integrate and develop them in the classroom.
