Teacher training courses

Digital media is constantly evolving. In addition to fundamental questions on the effectiveness of the use of digital media in the classroom, this teacher training course also aims to present new developments in software and hardware and demonstrate possible applications for the classroom.

Details on the workshops:

"Experimenting with 'phyphox'" -Dr Jens Noritzsch (RWTH Aachen), Dr Stephan Lück (UNI Würzburg)
This workshop gives you the opportunity to get to know new experiments and possibilities with the app "phyphox" and to try them out directly. Many tips and tricks for using the app will also be shown. Through direct contact with the developers, specific questions from the participants can also be addressed. Furthermore, it will be shown how the measurement data can be incorporated into system modelling in order to achieve a deeper understanding of physical relationships.

"Possible uses of tet.folio in physics teaching" - Dr Markus Elsholz, Wolfgang Lutz (University of Würzburg)
In this workshop, we will show how a digital and interactive learning environment can be designed using the tet.folio teaching and learning platform. Participants will learn about the central elements and design options of the platform. Additional video tutorials will be provided to help them realise their own learning environments.

"Experiments on the greenhouse effect" - Jonathan Grothaus (University of Würzburg)
In this workshop, you can familiarise yourself with various student experiments on the greenhouse effect and carry them out yourself. Discover, for example, experiments from the climate case or experiments in connection with new thermographic sensors for smartphones/tablets.

Topic: "Flipped classroom" - turning lessons on their head!

Having more time in class to apply what has been learnt, for discussions and for solving challenging learning tasks - who wouldn't want that? The "flipped classroom" method can help you to make this wish come true. It shifts areas of pure knowledge transfer from the classroom to home preparation and thus creates space for application in the classroom. At the same time, it takes into account the differences in pupils' individual learning speeds.
