History

Our flexible courses can help History teachers to present texts and materials effectively and create their own resources with the help of the internet and other software.

We can show you how to use video, audio and digital content with interactive whiteboards. For example, there are various ways to derive primary and secondary sources of information from the internet, cds, Encarta etc. to make classes even more engaging. And you can work with our experienced trainers to gain hands-on practice and develop new skills. This course is recommended for History teachers aiming for Curriculum Developer Level 2 accreditation.
