After 2 years from the covid pandemic we can’t face the reality of nowadays which includes technologies in all aspects of our lives. The digital revolution started, much before the pandemic but from 2020 it exploited investing massively in the educational field.
Teachers adapted in this fast transformation but we are still far from the balance.
Terms and definitions are many:
The other aspect that has to be distinguished is the so-called “gamification of teaching and learning” even we prefer to say “game based learning”.
Gamification vs. game-based learning (Waterloo university)
Gamification and game-based learning are similar in that both strategies promote engagement and sustained motivation in learning. However, gamification and game-based learning can also be usefully distinguished.
This training is to complete what teachers have been forced to do while they suffer the pandemic, very rapidly and without a common strategy. It seems that each school adopted different tools, at the beginning teachers reacted by proposing their solutions and the process of becoming “digital teachers” has been in many cases a pure violation of privacy and a complete disruption of life and work rhythms.
It is happening what the EU is defining “digital transformation” but it is also open the difficult debate on “quality assurance” and “proper digital infrastructures” to be used, how to train teachers and all the other school sectors to contribute to redesign a new school sector able to balance the fundamental human impact to which we are used and which we love, and the necessary process of digitization of our lives.
Teachers need to be assured, trained and to have a confrontation with experts and other colleagues also sharing what they know already and what they feel they miss in their teaching way. Online teaching is part of teaching and day by day new discoveries are emerging from the web creating sometimes confusion and new trends.
What is crucial for teachers is the evaluation of their work and of students. Games are more and more often used for interactive and more appealing evaluations.
“Evaluation of online instructors is a developing field of research. Institutions have made great progress in recent years to refine their efforts to evaluate online teaching in order to improve online teaching.
With this course we aim at researching practices and tools helpful for teachers to find their way and also develop a school strategy to face online teaching, after the pandemic, when the further progresses in digitalization will be made in the EU. Thanks to the new agenda of the EU in fact the above mentioned “digital transformation” is going to be supported and financed, not just for educators but especially for youth who are already “native digitals” but in a disorganized and worrying way. Online teaching is not just the act of teaching through video and delivering lessons online. It’s much more. It’s a means to educate future generations new skills to face their future jobs and use the web in the proper way, being creators and not passive users.
From one side teachers are the first to be aware of the big change happening faster than reforms and laws and from the other side, learners are all involved in a process of mutual learning and co-creating which can be beneficial.
Tools and practices exist and our training is structured to give an overview and permit participants to feel part of a community of change which, at the same time, assures quality of contents and learning and also an important link with EU Policies and support.
ONLINE TEACHING – GAMIFICATION&GAME BASED LEARNING is a course exploring the actual tools used to improve teaching and learning exploring also the difference between Gamification and Game Based Learning.
LEARNING GOALS:
Participants can be any kind of teacher working in a public or private school or educational institutions
INTRO/METHOD
Like all our programs, the present one is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of the participant.
Furthermore, in line with the JUMP Academy method, our courses are based on a strategic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education and the team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning which we develop with short excursions and facilitating the interaction with local partners, businesses and citizens of our territory. Each local context has its own economy so it’s always useful, in training programs, to get in contact with concrete examples (experiential learning and real based learning).
We always try to connect our learners to local teachers and students to cooperate in developing innovation and networking for future projects. If possible, inside the program, a morning is spent inside a local school, visiting, observing, and cooperating in the realization of one or more lessons. The proposed program JUMP works, in European dimension and with an international spirit, at the local level and, according to the period of the training along the year and the weather, it is possible to change some sessions and add visits and meetings, in cooperation with our network of partners including schools involved in European projects).

JUMP is based in Soverato (Catanzaro province), on the Jonian coast but the association cooperates with local partners and institutions of the surroundings towns and cities. Calabria region represents the deep South of Italy, known for the tropical climate and sandy beaches but also famous tall and green mountains.
During our trainings we also aim to make participants discovering the region, especially those old towns rich of culture, traditions, castles, small churches, narrow streets, colourful balconies, tropical flowers and local farms.
The nearest airport to Soverato is Lamezia Terme (SUF), 30 minutes far away from Soverato.
Our pick up is organized ONLY from and to this airport which is the biggest and the most important, connected to all the other cities in Italy and in Europe.
Many people like to stop in Rome or in Naples and take a train which is also comfortable and the journey along the coast is also pleasant (you see all the South).
JUMP proposes to participants to be lodged by Villa Gabriella International B&B managed by our local partner C.T.E. CENTRO TERRITORIALE EUROPEO company (https://closertoeurope.com/). The Villa has 7 big and comfortable rooms continuously renovated but also preserving the typical “old times” atmosphere of a very local house of Southern beach place. The Villa has many spaces for activities, a training room, the breakfast room, the terrace and flowers all around. It’s located in a peaceful and safe district called “Cittadella” surrounded by hills of olive trees and other Villas. JUMP created a network of other similar b&b for when participants are more than 12, in order to assure the same quality with an amazing breakfast, all comforts and an international environment. Villa Gabriella is also the JUMP headquarters for the general management of our activity. The Villa is the meeting point for all guests during all trainings and it’s where we realize all project activities.
Thanks to the cooperation with the C.T.E. company Jump provides lodging in 2 villas and if the groups are big, we have cooperation with all the owners of b&b and bigger hotels.
A brand new local partner, an innovative company offering touristic services with another vision and perspective. Discover Calabria and enjoy the local culture making experiential learning and practical labs with local people, but also simply a more sustainable tourism at local level.
The transfer from and to the airport is provided by C.T.E
During our trainings and mobility projects, while hosting our international guests from all over the world, JUMP involves the local network of partners and organizes different types of activities. This is not simply tourism, this is local development. This is JUMP Educational Tourism in Calabria region!
