Digital Foundations for Inspired Teaching

(Module 1 – Building Confidence with Technology in the Classroom)

In today’s fast-changing world, every teacher needs more than chalk, a blackboard, and printed notes to reach the modern learner. Education now happens in classrooms, communities, and across screens — where technology connects learners to new knowledge, ideas, and opportunities.

This module introduces teachers to the practical use of digital tools in everyday teaching and school life. It aims to help every educator — whether from a rural, peri-urban, or city school — gain the confidence to use computers, mobile devices, and basic software to plan, teach, assess, and communicate effectively.

Technology is not replacing teachers; it is empowering them to teach in new and more engaging ways. From typing a lesson plan and recording marks in a spreadsheet, to creating PowerPoint slides or videos that bring lessons to life, teachers will learn step-by-step how digital skills can make learning more interactive, inclusive, and enjoyable for all learners.

This module is designed for teachers at every level — from Early Childhood to Primary, Secondary, and Post-Secondary institutions. It builds a strong foundation for using technology safely, creatively, and responsibly in education.

By the end of this module, participants will be able to:

• Operate and manage digital devices confidently.

• Prepare well-organized electronic teaching materials.

• Integrate multimedia tools into lessons for better learner engagement.

• Protect digital information and model safe online behaviour.

• Solve common computer problems independently.

Ultimately, this course empowers teachers to see technology not as a challenge, but as a partner — a tool that makes their teaching more effective, their preparation easier, and their learners more inspired to explore knowledge beyond the classroom walls.
