Technology and social media are transforming our lives and are beginning to transform the way we teach and learn. If you work in the further education sector, you should understand how harnessing the potential of technology will help your learners develop the skills they need to work in the 21st century.
Lifelong Learning UK has produced a series of guides to help leaders, managers, teachers, tutors, trainers and learning support practitioners to apply the use of technology to their professional practice. These application guides are complemented by a series of case studies, giving good practice examples of how providers across England have successfully applied technology to their teaching and learning.
You can use the interactive guides to:
- identify professional development needs
- develop new knowledge and skills
- develop existing skills to meet the specific needs of learners in new circumstances
- share and disseminate good practice and
- aid curriculum development, delivery and assessment.
