In July 2024, Ms Janice Vella Muscat – a Primary Teacher from St Nicholas College, Ġanni Cilia Primary School in Mġarr – had the opportunity to attend a five-day course titled ICT Tools for a Creative and Collaborative Classroom in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. This mobility experience was truly enriching, both professionally and culturally. The course brought together educators from various parts of Europe, including participants from Greece, Poland, Austria, Budapest, and Bilbao. It provided an ideal platform for exchanging ideas and learning about the latest innovations in the field of education technology.
During the course, Ms Vella Muscat was introduced to a variety of ICT tools that can greatly enhance teaching and learning. Some of the key tools we explored included Padlet, Copilot, Gemini, and ChatGPT, each designed to foster creativity and collaboration in the classroom. The educators also delved into digital tools for assessment, such as Plickers, Slido, and Eduaide, which offer dynamic ways to engage students and assess their progress. These tools provide a wide range of possibilities to make learning more interactive and student-centered.
A significant portion of the course was dedicated to exploring AI tools, which are rapidly evolving and becoming more integrated into educational settings. The discussions surrounding AI tools, especially those for image creation and content generation, highlighted the growing impact of artificial intelligence on teaching practices. This course not only equipped Ms Vella Muscat with practical ICT knowledge but also gave her a deeper understanding of how AI can shape the future of education.
This mobility was made possible thanks to St Nicholas College Accreditation funds, co-funded by the European Union.
In July 2024, Mr. Jeffrey Zammit, the Education Officer for St. Nicholas College, went on an Erasmus experience in Valencia. During this opportunity, he connected with 16 other educators, primarily principals and heads of schools from various European countries. Together, they participated in a course focused on AI-Enhanced Learning Experiences —one that tries to integrate artificial intelligence into today’s classrooms.
The course mainly focused on two questions that educators and school leaders often face:
To explore these questions, participants made use of various web tools, using AI, including:
Each day of the course featured a “Reflection Roundtable,” where participants engaged in discussions about their learnings and exchanged insights with one another. This collaborative environment fostered deeper connections and enriched the overall educational experience.
