At the same time, I encourage students to learn from and with each other in a social arena. To that end, I follow a project-based learning approach where each student has to carry out a small project with and through technology (for example, using certain educational technologies, computational tools, or digital resources) following a design-implementation-evaluation iterative process. For each step of the process, students are encouraged to engage in discussions with peers, where they present their work and also review the work of colleagues. For teaching, I combine formal lectures for transferring information and hands-on workshops to foster communication and knowledge building on common ground. To conclude, I am dedicated to bridging the gap between theory and practice with respect to teaching and engaging learners in modern, technology-enhanced learning activities as a means for preparing 21st-century\u00a0citizens for their future endeavors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91f28d4 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"91f28d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/iachounta\/website_materials\/blob\/main\/professional\/TeachingStatement-Chounta.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Download Teaching Statement (PDF)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\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<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-39963f5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"39963f5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bfdcb65\" data-id=\"bfdcb65\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72f78de elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"72f78de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Courses<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83d4209 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"83d4209\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><strong>Intelligent Learning Environments.<\/strong> Master course.
