In our courses, teachers learn valuable insights and preventive measures relating to their students' media use, based on concrete examples. We also demonstrate the wide range of possibilities for collaboration, file storage and planning with our Microsoft Teams Education course offering. The courses are tailored to the current level of knowledge of the teaching staff.

Experts compare the disruptive effects of artificial intelligence (AI) with the development of the Internet's mass appeal, both of which are causing profound changes in our society.
What exactly is artificial intelligence? What significance does it have for schools? This revolutionary technology offers countless opportunities, but also presents schools and teachers with a wide range of challenges. What skills will pupils need in the future?
In collaboration with LerNetz Schule, we have developed an online workshop in which we explore these and other questions. Using ChatGPT as an example, we discuss specific scenarios that show how AI can be effectively integrated into teaching and lesson preparation.

Games, YouTube, Instagram and the like are part of everyday life for schoolchildren. Digital media play a major role in their leisure activities.
What impact can inappropriate media use have on teaching? When should you, as a teacher, address this issue and take action? What preventive measures can you derive from incidents?
In the media course for teachers, we show you the digital world of your pupils. Together, we discuss specific case studies of problematic media use and possible preventive measures.
The course is offered per cycle to ensure that media use is addressed in a manner appropriate to the level.
After attending the training course, you will be able to assess whether you should respond to abusive media use and plan your response. You will be able to pass on recommendations from specialist agencies regarding media use to parents, thereby closing gaps in their knowledge.

We provide the instructors for media courses; as the organiser, you are responsible for arranging everything else. Please refer to the fact sheets for more details. There are no fixed dates on which you can register as an individual.
It is best to hold media courses for parents and teachers before the media courses with the pupils. If you, as a teacher, attend a media course for parents, it may not be necessary to participate in a course for teachers.
Teachers' openness to digital tools in their everyday work or as a model for lesson planning varies.
The further away a teacher is from making materials on a subject available in printed form, for example, but rather via a link, the more vehemently they oppose it. However, teachers could take the first step towards closing this gap by boldly experimenting with digital possibilities. This newfound confidence will then lead to further attempts. And eventually, the courage to use one or two functions in the classroom. Teachers should feel free to approach digital tools cautiously.
When teachers turn to digitalisation, they also get closer to the reality of their students. Teachers do not need a Snapchat account, but they should know what Snapchat is and why their students are so interested in this platform. This develops a basic mutual understanding of each other's everyday media use and can lead to constructive dialogue – in the classroom, in the playground and in conversations with parents.
