Webinars to share our wide range of project results, including the current state of teaching informatics, dialogue clubs, teacher competence catalogue, piloting activities and learning analytics.

DIGITAL FIRST – Digital Tech as the First Language

In this first webinar of our project, you will hear about the results of our transnational research on the theory and practice of teaching informatics in primary and secondary schools across 10 EU countries. Following a welcome and introduction by Maja Šarić from Algebra University coordinating the DIGITAL FIRST project, speakers from Vilnius University leading the transnational research share with us the main highlights:
 
🔹 What do we teach? Informatics education, computational thinking, and digital competence
📢 Prof. dr. Valentina Dagienė

Dialogue Clubs: A Sustainable Dialogue on Informatics Education

Drawing inspiration from the evolution of foreign language instruction, the project promotes a functionalist approach to informatics, where digital competence is seen as a
horizontal skill vital for personal, educational, and professional life.

In this webinar, we delve into insights from our first two Dialogue Clubs, focused on the Personal and Informative functions of digital technology. Teachers from ten countries shared their experiences, challenges, and ideas about how we can rethink the role of teachers and better support them in implementing effective,
future-ready teaching practices.
