TechBridge
Inclusive ICT Integration in Classroom Teaching
TechBridge is a training program designed to equip primary and secondary school teachers with the necessary skills for effectively integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into an inclusive classroom environment. The compact 3-hour program provided a balanced mix of theoretical overviews and practical exercises, covering screen sharing techniques, inclusive teaching strategies, and access to ongoing ICT resources. The project is currently in its second phase and is looking into adding elements from Google For Education.
