Project Summary

The current COVID-19 crisis has greatly brout the need for digital transformation of education and training systems across Europe. The goal is to reinforce the ability of education and training institutions to provide high quality, inclusive digital education.
Regional Governments have mobilized to train teachers, have provided tools and resources, and have put a lot of effort and resources into teacher training, so that they can get the most out of their students when they go to teach through online education.

During the pandemic, schools principals have realized that the parents of primary school students were not prepared on digital technologies to support the students, lot of times they have had to face situations (such as doing activities on a platform, or carrying out a videoconference, …) this caused them a lot of stress to because they do not know how to help their children.
Partners have designed a training plan for students and families in order to equip them with the necasary competences to make sure they feel confident in doing a videoconference, and get to know the basic skills to live and help their children with digital tools.

School teachers have a better understanding that social exclusion can only be overcome through inclusive, innovative and active approaches that also favor access to a knowledge-based society by motivating students in the learning process.

Digital technologies have enormous potential to enable inquiry-based learning from the earliest years of school education, as well as to increase the relevance and application of the disciplines in which they are used (mathematics, science etc. ). Students will develop skills such as collaboration, communication and networking, knowledge development, inquiry, critical thinking … this is the reason why digital technologies should be available to everyone.

Objectives:

to address the differences between people in relation to access to digital technologies. Both at the computer equipment level and at the training level
to Help all families receive the necessary digital training to mitigate the impact of the crisis in some of the most affected sectors
to promote education in digital technologies in order to achieve greater equity, diversity and inclusion among citizens
to propose creative activities to students through digital technologies this will achieve a more inclusive education
to implement techologies in each curriculum subject in a creative way in order to engage all tudents in the learning proccess

Target groups: students, families and teachers, Educational Authorities

Teachers will be able to produce attractive learning materials using stimutating methods. Ths will be face though the creation by teachers of innovative “Learning Practices ” Teachers will create a big number of Learning Practices. The Learning Practices will be designed to awaken the curiosity of students, while they learn maths, sciences … they lern to use digital technologies

A course for students will be implemented through playfull activities

Project results:

Project partners will desing the course for studens. Once the course is be tested it´ll become an on line open course.

A Practical Guide will be developed to help students, families and teachers make the most of the Learning Practices developed to encourage schools to be more digital.
The Practical Guide will include 3 sections:

Students and families: It includes Learning Practices and practical information for students and families.
Teachers : Examples of Learning Practices , each one with a descrption form
Schools : Recomnendations on how to implement digital technologies, methodologies…assessment methods

This project will contribute to building digital education readiness in order to mitigate the impact of the crisis on some of the disadvantage sectors. The digital gap cannot be solved by providing students with computers and an internet connection. If we want all the students in our classrooms to have equal opportunities, we must mitigate the problems of these students through families training.
