Congratulations on completing Module 1! You’ve built foundational digital skills to enhance your teaching. This module equipped you with tools like Google Classroom and WhatsApp to deliver lessons, secure data with practices like 2FA, and evaluate tools using the SECTIONS model, even in low-connectivity settings.

Key Takeaways:

  • You’ve learned to set up an LMS (e.g., Google Classroom) and collaborative tool (e.g., WhatsApp) to organise your equipment safety lesson.
  • You’ve applied cybersecurity practices (e.g., 2FA, privacy settings) to protect your digital teaching environment.
  • You’ve evaluated tools with the SECTIONS model, considering factors like Ease of Use.
  • The learning challenge reinforced troubleshooting and secure tool usage by creating a student guide.

Next Steps: Well done on mastering these digital skills! Continue to Module 2 to deepen your expertise by applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to design inclusive digital learning experiences. You’ll also explore how to integrate tools such as videos and virtual simulations to enhance student engagement and collaboration, while promoting responsible and ethical online behaviour through digital citizenship.
