SEAMEO RETRAC and SEAMEO SEAMOLEC Partner to Deliver ICT Training for Teachers

As part of the ongoing efforts to develop Inter-Centre Collaboration (ICC) initiatives and promote innovation in professional development for educators, SEAMEO RETRAC and SEAMEO Regional Open Learning Centre (SEAMEO SEAMOLEC) partnered to deliver the training course on “Developing Interactive Teaching Materials for an Engaging ICT-Enhanced Classroom”. The training catered to over 40 school principals, teachers, university instructors, lecturers, and trainers eager to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into their teaching practices.

The program enabled participants to update and leverage digital tools such as Padlet, Nearpod, and Virtual Reality simulations to develop creative lesson plans and teaching materials tailored to specific topics, including slideshows, videos, and interactive content. Participants also enhanced the effectiveness of innovative quizzes and discussion activities, while incorporating a reporting system for assessment to track student progress and improve engagement and performance. Through this ICC activity, SEAMEO RETRAC and SEAMEO SEAMOLEC have provided educators with access to cutting-edge technologies and innovative teaching methodologies, fostering advancements in educational quality across the Region.
