Blended Learning & Flipped Classroom
When we talk about the classical educational system (face to face system) we usually refer to teachers teaching in front of a classroom full of students. This seemed to work for many years, however, the digital age has brought a lot of challenges, requiring changes in our current educational systems. Over the past years educators have started increasingly incorporating innovative teaching & learning methods in their classrooms, one of them is the Blended learning approach.
Gamification and Augmented Reality in Education
The use of video games and augmented reality in education has become a major new trend.

There is no doubt that while not every student will choose a path to be programmer or computer scientists, having a basic knowledge of technology will create countless opportunities for them in the future.
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
“There are over 60 million teachers in the world – and each one is a key agent for bringing about the changes in lifestyles and systems we need.
