The Teachers 4.0 Digital partners gathered in a two-day project meeting hosted by Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski on 10-11for productive and inspiring exchanges to plan the next steps of our mission to empower teachers in digital media literacy.
The main highlight of the meeting was the development of the Teachers 4.0 Digital curriculum that aims to guide teachers and educators in teaching digital media literacy to their students. The curriculum covers everything from understanding misinformation and cognitive biases to fostering digital citizenship and inclusivity in the classroom with real-world issues, practical tools, and adaptable lesson plans:
- Introduction
- Disinformation: What are we talking about?
- More key terms and definitions
- Setting the Scene: Teaching and learning in the digital school environment
- Assessing and evaluating digital literacy in schools
- Explore the key media practices of children and students
- Teaching digital media literacy and disinformation
- Building digital media literacy competencies in the classroom and school: becoming digital citizens
- Students in all their diversity
- Practical examples of lesson plans
It will be available in 6 languages by the beginning of 2025: Bulgarian, English, Greek, Italian, Polish, and Romanian. The project meeting was an opportunity to align the efforts of the partners for translating and formatting the curriculum in an engaging way and getting ready to disseminate it widely.
In the meantime, the development of our e-learning platform is going at full speed: The partners brainstormed during the meeting on how to offer the most accessible and user-friendly capacity-building experience through this platform. The platform will be launched in 2025 to upskill the primary and secondary school education teachers and educators in the project languages.
Thanks to Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski for their great hospitality and to all partners who joined us in Sofia.
