Teacher's IT skills – Manual – 526/3

The manual Computer skills of teachers for the school competition is aimed at aspiring teachers who have to face the competition for a teaching position in which the assessment of computer skills is also required.

The purpose of the computer science manual for the School Competition, which draws on the most frequently asked questions in previous competitions , is to address the many issues that School and Computer Science have in common, both from the teacher's and the student's point of view.

The digitalization of the school requires knowledge of IT tools (lim, digital board, software, ebook, etc.) and entrusts the teacher with a fundamental role in the digital and media literacy of students to prepare them to develop ever greater skills, such as the understanding of Artificial Intelligence, not only to exploit its benefits, but also to recognize any incorrect uses.

To this end, the book provides the aspiring teacher with the tools to:

• use software as a teaching aid, especially in relation to inclusive teaching for students with Special Educational Needs (Windows, Office package, specific teaching software);
• use tools to create interactive lessons ;
• know the regulatory aspects of school digitalization;
• understand the problems that a child may face during his online experience ( hate speech, cyberbullying, fake news, clickbaiting );
• teach how to use the computer (and especially the Internet) in an aware and responsible manner ;
• know the main forms of prevention and protection from browsing risks (use an antivirus, know the software tools for protecting minors).

To enrich the Teacher's Computer Skills manual, there are additional online materials for further study as well as software with numerous quizzes to practice and verify your preparation.
