Topic: Using technology to support the Academic Resilience Approach in schools – Laura Fernández, University of Lleida, Spain
Resources: You can download Laura’s slides.
Summary: Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has an important role in our society, including functions in our daily routines and in education and training. Increasingly, more and more schools, universities and other institutions are using ICT in their educational practices. The aim of this Resilience Forum is to show and discuss what role ICT can take in training and supporting individuals to adopt and implement the Academic Resilience Approach in schools. Laura will discuss some educative experiences and studies from the literature in which ICTs have been used as a training and supportive medium for individuals. Finally, we will consider the actual practices of using ICT for training and supporting resilience interventions, in order to think about how they can be improved.
