Mastering digital technology
After the training course on Artificial Intelligence (AI) application in schools at the beginning of the summer vacation of 2025, the Board of Directors of Nguyen Hue Secondary School (Hai Chau, Da Nang ) organized a competition to design AI-application lectures in teaching for the 2025-2026 school year. The training course was taught by experts - specialized lecturers from the University of Education, Da Nang University, instructing teachers of the school on how to use AI-related applications and software in designing lectures, supporting teaching and learning.
Mr. Vo Thanh Phuoc - Principal of Nguyen Hue Secondary School said: "If teachers have not used many AI-related applications and software in designing lessons and supporting teaching and learning, they will be confused in applying them to practical work. Therefore, after the training session, launching this contest in the school's pedagogical council is a way for teachers to proactively learn and test AI applications during the summer. Teachers will submit their products before August 10".
The contest of Nguyen Hue Secondary School focuses on designing lessons according to the 2018 General Education Program, in which teachers effectively apply AI in at least one of the following stages: Preparing lessons and building learning materials, using AI to create content, images, videos , mind maps, multiple choice questions...; Organizing learning activities, AI supports personalization, grouping, suggesting learning tasks suitable for students' abilities; Assessment and feedback, using AI to design testing tools, analyze learning outcomes, and provide automatic feedback.
According to Mr. Vo Thanh Phuoc, this will be a shared learning resource warehouse in the school with the goal of improving the capacity to apply information technology and artificial intelligence for the teaching staff; promoting innovation in teaching methods towards developing students' qualities and abilities. At the same time, it will create an active playground for teachers to exchange and share experiences to form a pioneering teacher community in digital transformation.
Tra Nam Primary and Secondary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities (Tra Linh, Da Nang) plans to organize training seminars in August to improve teachers' digital capacity.
Mr. Vo Dang Chin - Principal of the school said that teachers will practice operations related to digital report cards such as entering data, updating student identification codes, storing on the system, using digital signatures, and how to comment on students in subjects when making digital report cards...
New contract teachers of Tra Nam Primary and Secondary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities will be further instructed on information technology to meet the school's digital transformation requirements.
Teachers are required to be proficient in using software on the Vnedu system such as managing grades, teaching reports, teaching plans, setting up student management tracking, borrowing books, library equipment, etc. Vnedu accounts have been created by the school and assigned to teachers so that they can get acquainted with digitalization in teaching.
Empowering teachers to innovate
In addition to ensuring rest time during the summer vacation, Cam Vinh Kindergarten (Cam Binh, Ha Tinh) has proactively developed a plan to organize training and professional development courses for teachers. As planned, in early August, the school will coordinate with local authorities to organize an intensive training course, part of the school's series of 4 annual training topics.
During this training session, teachers will be informed of new documents from the education sector - from the guidelines of the Ministry of Education and Training, to the directives and regulations of the Ha Tinh Department of Education and Training, and the operating procedures of the local government after the merger. This is to help teachers understand the new management mechanism, effectively serving the work of building teaching plans, assessments and professional reports.
Principal of Cam Vinh Kindergarten, Ms. Bien Thi Dien, said that before, when it was under the jurisdiction of Cam Xuyen district, the school operated according to the traditional model, with little change in the curriculum. However, after the merger, the Board of Directors was determined to innovate comprehensively. Cam Vinh Kindergarten invited experts in Montessori and STEM methods to guide teachers in building child-centered classrooms, using teaching aids flexibly, and developing activities to help children practice thinking and social skills.
Entering the new school year, Cam Vinh Kindergarten will organize field trips for teachers to typical kindergartens to learn about modern classroom models and effective organization experience. Funding for these activities is taken from the annual professional budget provided by the locality.
In addition to attending training at school, many teachers also take the initiative to take advantage of the summer vacation to study and improve their qualifications. Ms. Nguyen Thi Loan - Bac Ha Kindergarten (Thanh Sen, Ha Tinh), said that for three consecutive years, she has spent her summer vacation studying the Montessori method in Hanoi.
Through hands-on practice, she has mastered the design of “child-centered” learning corners and turned those ideas into engaging activities suitable for preschoolers. As a result, her class has maintained excellent performance and is a model for her colleagues in the school to follow.
Meanwhile, Ms. Dinh Thi Thu Hien - Nam Ha Primary School (Thanh Sen, Ha Tinh) chose to improve her information technology skills in teaching. She participated in many short-term courses such as "5 days with Canva", "5 days to improve teacher capacity with AI"...
From the accumulated knowledge, Ms. Hien has personally designed electronic lectures and interactive documents, making the lessons more lively and effective. Not stopping there, she also manages and operates the Sunday Teacher Club - where she shares free teaching materials and experiences through online lessons every Sunday. The club has attracted hundreds of teachers from all over the country to participate.
“Every summer vacation is a valuable opportunity for teachers to improve and enhance their personal capacity. Applying technology not only helps improve the quality of lectures, but also inspires students to learn. More importantly, self-study helps teachers feel more confident when entering the new school year,” said a teacher at Nam Ha Primary School.
Teachers master technology
Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, Head of the History - Geography Group, Nguyen Hue Secondary School shared: "Through the training courses organized by the school, we have more foundations to learn more about using AI software in teaching, testing, evaluation, and record management... Most teachers have quick adaptation in using modern teaching support tools as well as applying AI in managing and improving the quality of education."
However, according to Mr. Tuan, AI is a new tool and there are many derivative artificial intelligence software, so choosing which application to use to suit the ability of each teacher, the specific subject as well as the physical conditions of the teacher and the school is an obstacle. Exploring the features of each tool takes a lot of time.
“Through discussions with professional groups, we have noted that many teachers wish to receive support from experts, to introduce which applications are suitable for which educational activities and which subjects to reduce the time spent on testing. For example, with History, teachers can use virtual reality tours with museums that have digitized artifacts. Or with Geography, teachers can 'take' students 'to' any location in the world with just the Google Earth application" - Mr. Tuan shared.
Meanwhile, Ms. Mai Thi Thu Ha - Duy Tan High School (Quang Phu, Da Nang) said that currently, a large number of teachers are using free AI derivative applications. Therefore, the time and features of using the tool will be limited. However, not all teachers can afford to buy copyrighted software.
Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan said that the History - Geography professional group of Nguyen Hue Secondary School is discussing towards a consensus on choosing a software so that they can purchase and share an account to use advanced features for teaching activities.
“With the current trend, teachers cannot help but use AI products to prepare lessons, organize teaching activities, and test and evaluate. However, teachers need to spend a certain amount of time to select which tools to use. Teachers must master technology to be able to orient students' digital skills as well as equip them with the ability to self-study, using AI as a tool to support their learning, not completely depending on it,” commented Mr. Tuan.
Mr. Pham Tan Ngoc Thuy - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Da Nang, said that in order to improve the capacity of the team to meet the requirements of digital transformation and innovation, schools proactively organize training programs, in-depth training on digital transformation, new technologies AI, IoT, Big Data for teachers; support teachers to effectively use technology tools for modern teaching.
Each school has 1-2 technology “core” teachers who are the focal points for professional support and internal training; linking evaluation, emulation and rewards with the level of application of science and technology and innovation in teaching.
Dr. Tran Van Hung - Faculty of Mathematics - Information Technology, University of Education (University of Danang), said: If you understand and know how to use AI effectively, it can help teachers innovate, be creative, and use artificial intelligence tools to support the design of lectures and videos suitable for students of all levels or university environments... However, when using AI, it is also necessary to pay attention to ethical and security issues. Users should not depend on AI but should master AI and use AI responsibly.
