The International Telecommunication Union<\/strong> (ITU) started the event in 1969 to celebrate the possibilities of the internet and communication technologies. Past years have looked at sustainability, safeguarding, women & girls in ICT and artificial intelligence.<\/span><\/p> This year\u2019s event recognises that the average global life expectancy is rising. <\/span>In 2022, the average life expectancy is 73 years old, compared to 66 years in 2002<\/span><\/a>. With medical advances and access to a healthy diet, we now have an ageing population.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Communication technology is developing every day, with new tools designed for the older generation. Whilst retired people can find ICT training through <\/span>Age UK<\/span><\/a>, it can be harder for those who are still working to learn about the internet and communication technologies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Teachers especially, have busy schedules and fitting training around lesson plans, and marking can be difficult. Providing inclusive training that covers a wide range of skill sets, to ensure your teachers are utilising technology effectively in their classrooms, can also be a challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> The Exa Foundation<\/span><\/strong><\/a> can provide training through its Learning Programme. Designed for students in KS2, KS3, KS4, and KS5, the course suits a range of skill levels, however this can be adapted for teachers as part of a <\/span>CPD<\/b><\/a><\/span> training programme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t With engaging exercises and discussions, the training can help teachers think of technology and communications in a different way, so they can develop lessons to integrate classroom technology. This can be held during INSET days as an inclusive way to train teachers.<\/span><\/p> If you are an Exa partner or connectivity customer, access to <\/span>The Exa Foundation<\/b> is included in your package, contact your account manager for more information or to book a session.
