Education: AppInventory4Edu

AppInventory4Edu (AppInventory for Education) is a free ongoing educational initiative directed at all teachers of all levels in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. It includes actions of methodological and didactic innovation through the use of the AppInventory platform and is part of the Regional Program for Digital School in Friuli Venezia Giulia 2021-2025.
Through the use of the AppInventory platform and its contained applications, teachers are guided in computer-based lab activities, both in person and online, to discover new tools for implementing innovative teaching methods.
The project spans over three years (January 2023 - December 2025).

Training offer

The main offer of AppInventory4Edu includes thematic modules, with a laboratory setting, which allow direct experimentation of digital tools and products to be used within their teaching activities.
The modules are independent of each other and allow teachers to customize the training path based on their subject of teaching or their own interest, each has a total duration of 4 academic hours of 45 minutes with the recognition of 6 total hours of training for the necessary work of independent in-depth study and improvement of the products created (exception for the module “Progettare per EAS” which includes two meetings, the first preparatory to the second).

New for the IV teaching period "Meetings in schools": this thematic module, aimed at both schools in Friuli Venezia Giulia and those outside the region, includes the presentation of the AppInventory catalog and a selection of applications useful for teaching. It will be carried out in schools that request it (in person for schools in Friuli Venezia Giulia or by video conference for schools outside the region) by agreeing on a day. The module, provided at no cost to the school, will have a total duration of 2 hours and 30 minutes (equivalent to 3 academic hours of 45' + an intermediate break of 15'). It is required that the school involve the largest possible number of teachers, who will be recognized, through a certificate, for the hours of training.
After completing this module, in case of interest, it will then be possible to agree with the school on an additional laboratory module that will allow for in-depth study of the specific use of some apps among those of greatest interest to teachers.
