Sample answer
“In my role at a secondary school in Rome, I integrate tools like Google Classroom and interactive simulations into my lessons. For instance, I designed a project where students used coding software to create their own games, which not only enhanced their coding skills but also fostered creativity and collaboration. This approach significantly increased student engagement and led to a 30% improvement in their tech competency assessments.”
