Social learning networks supporting teachers' digital competences
This document discusses learning networks that support teachers' digital competencies. It begins with an outline of the workshop topics, which include an introduction to learning networks and key competencies for lifelong learning. Teachers then participate in an exercise to identify skills they could learn through participating in networks like eTwinning. The document explains that effective learning networks are ensembles of connected actors, institutions, and resources that allow knowledge to spread. It also presents data on the benefits teachers report gaining from eTwinning participation and professional development. Overall, the workshop aims to explore how learning networks can help teachers strengthen their digital skills and competencies.
