Unlocking the power of teachers' digital competence: “Harnessing digital resources for effective teaching”
Course details
Digital competence does not solely refer to mastering technology but rather to the way that teachers can use this technology to enhance their professional practice, empower their learners and improve learning outcomes.
In the second course of the course series on Unlocking the Power of Teacher Digital Competence, we focus on effectively helping teachers identify recourses that best fit their needs, their teaching style, and their learners. At the same time, we'll assist teachers in modifying and adapting resources to meet their exact requirements, learn how to share them responsibly, protect sensitive data, manage content ethically and respect copyright rules.
The course is offered by the European School Education Platform. Visit our website for more information.
