Borut Razbornik Digtal Competences in the Classroom
Digital competence is one of the eight essential competencies. It refers to the confidence and critical usage of the full range of digital technologies for information, communication and basic problem-solving in all aspects of life. According to the Digital Agenda Scoreboard 2015, 40% of the EU population has an insufficient level of digital competence, with 22% not using the Internet.
Digital competence must be taught and learnt from an early age. Children need to be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of being online and using a range of technologies, and that’s why teachers need to know them first.
