Theory into Practice: CPD in your classroom

At the ICT in Education Teacher Academy, Theory into Practice is at the heart of every online workshop. Our workshops help you connect evidence-informed teaching strategies with your everyday classroom practice, building on your existing knowledge, experience and confidence with digital technology.

Turn professional learning into meaningful classroom improvement. Explore practical ideas, try them with your learners, reflect on what works and discover opportunities to develop your teaching further. This is CPD in your classroom – professional learning that becomes part of your everyday teaching, rather than something separate from it.

Your Membership Workbook – Supporting CPD in Your Classroom

Your Membership Workbook helps you turn classroom experiences into opportunities for continuing professional growth. Building on the Academy's Theory into Practice approach, it supports you in setting your own CPD goals, connecting professional knowledge with everyday teaching and critically reflecting on how digital technology supports your learners.

Make your classroom experiences count towards your professional development. Use your Workbook to reflect on what worked, identify areas for improvement, document your developing knowledge and skills, and plan your next steps. It's another way the Academy helps you make CPD in your classroom an ongoing part of your teaching practice.

How to better implement ICT activities for Language development

Language development activities are crucial in early childhood as they lay the foundation for communication, literacy, and cognitive skills. Engaging young learners in meaningful, interactive activities fosters their ability to express thoughts, build vocabulary, and understand language structures. Incorporating technology into language development activities enhances these outcomes by providing multimodal, dynamic, and creative experiences.
In the ICT in Education Teacher Academy, members gain access to a wide range of language development activities designed to integrate technology seamlessly into early learning environments. From digital storytelling to interactive whiteboard story mapping, these activities support both traditional language learning methods and modern, tech-based approaches.
One standout activity is Digital Storytelling, where children use apps to create and narrate their own stories. This not only develops oral language skills but also introduces digital literacy in a way that feels natural and enjoyable for preschoolers. The combination of visual, auditory, and textual elements makes storytelling accessible and engaging.
By implementing language development activities using ICT, educators can create inclusive and immersive learning experiences. Whether it’s through augmented reality storytelling or digital puppet conversations, the goal is to make language exploration both fun and purposeful.
