Feedback for the project

Image
Janne: " Participating in this project was interesting and challenging. Joining this project, I imagined it a little differently. I got a lot of useful information for my work. In the future, I will be able to find better digital tools that I can use in my studies. I contributed to this project as much as I could. I know I'm not a very good digital user, so I often felt unable to talk about these issues. However, I am glad that I participated in this project - I gained more experience." *** Mari: I received (as I joined a bit later) role in each level training material preparation. Two units in novice level and one in independent and in proficient level. Group was helpful and supportive. I think that contribution was more or less divided equally and everyone fulfilled their part. I participated all the meetings and plan to participate the next ones to come.  I learned a lot about different digital options that teachers could use. Also, about copyright rules which for me

Basis of Research

Image
  The main framework which group relies on is DigCompEdu. The teacher’s digital competence model is based on the European Commission’s educator’s digital competence framework DigCompEDU, and the learner’s digital competence model is based on the digital citizen’s framework DigComp. The European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) is a scientifically sound framework describing what it means for educators to be digitally competent. It provides a general reference frame to support the development of educator-specific digital competences in Europe. There is also an international project named “DCDS” (Digital Competences Development System) and this project has been funded with support from the European Commission. There is a platform made for it and the group can use input from this project as well. “The main objective of the project is to develop an integrated modular system, the “Digital Competences Development System - DCDS” and use it to develop basic dig

All members familiarized themselves with digital competence scientific background and frameworks like DigCompedu etc. The group has compiled a questionnaire with help from DigCompedu and forwarded it to teachers in Digiloping I, Digiloping II group and stakeholders to find out the use of digital resources and overall level of digital competences. The group found out some Tallinn University’s marketing channels which could have been used for project but unfortunately due to lack of time, we couldn&
