Create the perfect educational animation with Keynote

Do you often feel like you spend a lot of time searching for the right resource to use for teaching a concept? And yet, in the end, it’s not always exactly what you wanted? Did you know that there are plenty of tools available to create dynamic digital resources and use them in our slideshows and videos?

This training will specifically demonstrate how Keynote (for iPad or Mac) can be used to create animated GIFs, animations, and video content to engage and enhance communication and the learning experience. We will also explore how co-creating these resources with our students during a lesson can save us time, while also helping them visualize abstract concepts and providing them with meaningful learning content upon which they can build.

Create stories with the Scratch programming language

Block-based programming is an excellent way to introduce our students to the world of programming and enable them to develop problem-solving skills at the same time.

In this training, you will learn how to leverage block-based programming to tell stories. Indeed, Scratch is a programming language that allows you to create your own story by combining visuals, movements, text, and audio. Let’s see how we can integrate programming with languages, mathematics, and art to engage and empower students.
