Project Results

1 - Teaching in the Digital Era Guide. Teacher-Student-Parent cooperation.
2 - Teaching in the Digital Era Course
3 - Online Interactive Annual Plan Handbook

In the current pandemic context, schools (including the private sector) were oriented towards online teaching. There was a significant discrepancy in the resources and effort put into teaching based on the children's age/level. Children from primary school up to high school benefited from more resources, time allocated, and teacher implication. The groups at risk of being left behind were (and still are) kindergarten children in the public sector and to a lesser extent in the private sector of learning. This is largely caused by the lack of a methodology in teaching young pupils in the online environment. This, in turn, is caused by the lack of insight in what concerns the potential of some tools, websites and other software of improving the online learning experience of pre-school children. Moreover there is a stereotype which says that using technology and the internet for young age is not suitable. In fact the counterargument here is that these kids are digitally natives, and their parents usually use the internet and the mobile phone as ‘modern pacifiers’ with their children. The solution to this problem is likely to be provided by an informative document, detailing useful approaches and tools to online teaching in the case of educators and caregivers.

The Teaching in the Digital Era Guide is considered to be, in the framework of the current project, a starting point in developing all the other intellectual outputs planned. The partners from the countries involved in the project development and implementation will contribute to creating a guide-type handbook for teachers and parents. This guide will form the basis of the future training sessions with teachers, and Online Interactive Annual Plan.
