“Digital competence involves the confident, critical and responsible use of, and engagement with, digital technologies for learning, at work, and for participation in society. It includes information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, media literacy, digital content creation (including programming), safety (including digital well-being and competences related to cybersecurity), intellectual property related questions, problem solving and critical thinking.” (Council Recommendation on Key Competences for Life-long Learning, 22 May 2018, ST 9009 2018 INIT).
Involve the school in its own development plan to generate sustainable change
We facilitate the narrowing of educational gaps and provide the framework for education to continue online
Address a set of priorities based on the concrete development needs of teachers and schools identified in the programme (in previous years)
We support teachers to discover and reach their full potential by providing authentic digital learning experiences
We change and educate the general public about digital learning, increasing the attractiveness of online teaching
Contribute to increasing the online presence in the education system by training and educating pre-university teachers
Implement a national, united movement to bring together learning communities that foster progress and increase the quality of education
We live in a hyper-digitalized age, but most ˝digital natives˝, are not digitally competent, although some have skills working with online tools that far exceed those of their teachers.
Thus, designing, teaching and assessing online learning requires additional skills, for both cohorts.
