When mastering this competence by doing the work in the lab, you should be able to say:

I am aware of the limits of my own digital competence and my training needs.

I seek to improve and update my digital pedagogical competence through experimentation and peer learning.

I creatively experiment with and reflect on new pedagogical approaches, enabled by digital technologies.

I actively seek out best practices, courses or other advice to improve my own digital pedagogies and wider digital competences.

I evaluate, reflect on and discuss with peers how to use digital technologies to innovate and improve educational practice.
