Dear Trainers and Instructors,
How can free digital tools make teaching easier? How can I achieve this without being a media expert and with limited time resources? For which forestry topics does this make sense, and how do I integrate digital teaching methods into my classes – in the classroom, online, before, and after lessons?
We are pleased to invite you to a course where, together with you, we will develop practical solutions using examples from your own teaching. You will learn about the most efficient solutions and tools from the abundance of available options, especially those suitable for forestry education and that will make your work easier. Practice makes perfect: join us in testing which innovations in teaching (e.g., the use of AI) are personally beneficial for you!
