Support for the use of innovative teaching methods and ICT tools (1.C.11)
Action Progress
Tutorials in Digital Technologies
The move to Emergency Remote Teaching in March 2020 created a need for tutorials on digital tools which
would assist in making the transition. The tutorials cover apps and websites which support class
management, speaking, listening, and working collaboratively. There are tutorials available on Charlala,
Edpuzzle, Classroomscreen, Whiteboard.fi and these are constantly being added to. All tutorials support and
align with the Digital Learning Framework.
Additional tutorials in how to use the technology to support good teaching and learning in the classroom are
available on ppli.ie at https://ppli.ie/teaching-and-learning/digital-technologies-and-mfl/
