Sharing knowledge: New technologies in Religious Education

Savremena International School, in cooperation with the Council for Religious Education of the Serbian Orthodox Church, has organised training for all religious education teachers in order to encourage them to enhance their lessons with modern technologies.

Modern technologies for interactive learning

Through a series of lectures and workshops, Savremena’s teaching coordinator and learning support assistant presented a number of educational applications to the RE teachers which they can use to make their classes more dynamic, interactive and interesting both at primary and secondary schools.

The RE teachers had the opportunity to try their hand at creating innovative and creative content for their classes with the help of modern technologies. The learned how to test students using Google questionnaires, how to create Kahoot quizzes, use Socrative for evaluation purposes and enrich a lesson using TED-Ed content.

Developing virtues together

We are very proud to have assisted both RE teachers and the religious community as a whole with this even. We firmly believe that through a successful cooperation with the Council for Religious Education we will continue to share knowledge, because we support the same core virtues and values.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
Contemporary in any sense of the word, our school offers functional knowledge and quality preparation for tertiary education in Serbia and abroad. Implementing modern and creative teaching in the classroom, where the teachers’ pedagogy and students’ performance are aligned with the highest academic standards for the high-school finals, our school develops linguistic, mathematical, scientific, artistic, cultural, technical and ICT competence, which is a prerequisite for further education and professional development. Teaching is supported by the interactive whiteboards and educational software, whereas practice exercises research and critical thinking.
