The First National Workshop of the Computer Education Department
Workshops are platforms not just to learn others perspectives and gain new aspects but also a nice method for socializing and intercommunication. Many advantages arise out of participating in workshops, being confidence, motivation, networking and information.
The school systems and industry these days are quite demanding and frequently we encounter the problem about the level of higher education does not meet what is anticipated. Although overcoming this obstacle is not easy. Therefore, to connect the dots and occupy students with new-age techniques and pedagogical methods on teaching and classroom environment and management, having workshops and listening to experienced and prominent teachers from schools will assist students to learn more information about their future occupation and their way of work.
