Teaching
Competent Digital Educators plan for and implement digital devices and resources in the teaching process, so as to enhance the effectiveness of teaching interventions. They appropriately manage and orchestrate digital teaching interventions. They experiment with and develop new formats and pedagogical methods for instruction.
Typical activities
They use classroom technologies to support instruction, e.g. electronic whiteboards, mobile devices.
They structure the lesson so that different (teacher-led and learner-led) digital activities jointly re-inforce the learning objective.
They set up learning sessions, activities and interactions in a digital environment.
They structure and manage content, collaboration and interaction in a digital environment.
They consider how educator-led digital interventions – whether face-to-face or in a digital environment - can best support the learning objective.
They reflect on the effectiveness and appropriateness of the digital pedagogical strategies chosen and flexibly adjust methods and strategies.
They experiment with and develop new formats and pedagogical methods for instruction (e.g. flipped classroom).
When mastering this competence by doing the work in the lab, you should be able to say:
I use available classroom technologies, e.g. digital whiteboards, projectors, PCs.
I choose digital technologies according to the learning objective and context.
I organise and manage the integration of digital devices (e.g. classroom technologies, students’ devices) into the teaching and learning process.
I manage the integration of digital content, e.g. videos, interactive activities, into the teaching and learning process.
I consider appropriate social settings and interaction modes when integrating digital technologies.
I use digital technologies in teaching to increase methodological variation.
I set up learning sessions or other interactions in a digital environment.
In the lab we will also:
Learn to structure learning sessions so that different (teacher-led and learner-led) digital activities jointly re-inforce the learning objective.
Learn to structure and manage content, contributions, and interaction in a digital environment.
Learn to continuously evaluate the effectiveness of digitally enhanced teaching strategies and revise our strategies accordingly.
