If you’re a regular reader at Fractus Learning then chances are you’re as passionate and excited about technology in education as we are. You see the value everyday that technology can bring to the classroom and are part of the growing community working to spread and share this passion.
As part of our effort to spread and share the passion, it is my pleasure to announce the roll out of Fractus Learning Online Courses. Tailored specifically for education and use in schools, our courses focus on the latest (and coolest) tools to keep teachers on the cutting edge.
Take a look at the trailer below for one of our eight initial courses - Introduction To Social Media In Education
Over the next few months we are rolling out a library of online courses, aimed entirely at technology in schools, classrooms and education. We are working with a number of extremely talented teachers, academics and technology professionals to put together the best assortment of online training in technology, web and social media for teachers and educators.
Eight Initial Courses
- Introduction To Social Media In Education
- Introduction To Social Bookmarks and Discovery
- Introduction To Presenting And Sharing Online
- Introduction To Online Video And Screencasting
- Introduction To Content Management Systems For Schools
- Twitter For Use In Schools and The Classroom
- Prezi For Use In Schools and The Classroom
- WordPress For Use In Schools and The Classroom
For more information, including trailer videos and detailed course summaries, visit our training page and register for the courses you or your school may be interested in. It is completely free to register interest and you will be the first to know when courses become available. As an added bonus, you will receive 25% off on all courses you have registered interest in, and there is absolutely no obligation to buy once courses are live.
We have been working on these courses for the past few months and have taken a great deal of feedback and suggestions from many of you. There are three main objectives we hope to achieve and would like to share on releasing Fractus Learning Online Training:
- Many readers have asked for formalized professional development courses, created with the sole focus of technology in education. We hope that these first eight courses will provide a strong start to building a thorough and detailed library for this purpose.
- To date, Fractus Learning has grown steadily thanks to the support and contribution of many passionate and devoted educators. We hope that these courses will allow us to continue to grow and give back to this dedicated community.
- Lastly, we continue to work towards our ongoing goal to provide teachers with the latest technology skills and tools to engage their students and make the classroom a more enjoyable place to teach, work and learn.
We cannot do this without your feedback and support. So please, if you have any thoughts, suggestions or questions, please get in touch. And of course, if you have friends, colleagues or staff that you think may benefit from our courses, please encourage them to register interest early.
