What is your DigCompEdu proficiency level?
One of the first steps during the introduction of mobile devices in schools is integrating them successfully into existing structures, which includes more than just the school’s IT infrastructure.
This course focusses on expanding the participants’ knowledge about the uses of mobile devices in schools. Since the topics are geared towards intermediate users and will employ iPads as an example, participants should already possess basic knowledge about how operate them.
This course aims to empower the participants to take a leading role in both developing their school’s digital infrastructure and guiding their colleagues as they incorporate modern devices into their daily work.
Digitalakademie – a part of Gesellschaft für digitale Bildung
Since 2018, more than 90,000 teachers have attended over 3,000 courses conducted by the Digitalakademie in Germany. Digitalakademie is a part of Gesellschaft für digitale Bildung (GfdB) – A Converge Company. This experience and our international network offer an important value to the Erasmus+ project. It´s primary expertise lies in providing qualified, long-term guidance that facilitates lasting transformation, benefiting not only the educational institutions, but also the teachers and students involved.
Prior to conducting any courses in schools, the responsible professional development expert consults with the institution to determine the most suitable topics for their goals, tailoring the courses to the school’s level of advancement. This ensures that all educational institutions, ranging from kindergartens and primary schools to secondary and post-secondary education, have access to a continuous professional development program that is customized to their specific needs.
Concerning the structured courses, in order to support the participants, GfdB guides and assists them by providing pedagogical and cultural preparation and clear information before and during the training, from the application until the final evaluation. After the training the participants get all documents and work results and photos, so they will have help for the dissemination phase once they are back in their school.
This process of sharing the gained knowledge with other colleagues is an important phase of the learning process. This is why GfdB puts a strong effort on helping sharing the results of the training. GfdB puts an emphasis not only on the learning outcomes from the course content but also on the wellbeing of the participants and the social and cultural aspect of the training.
