CIDREE Yearbook 2021 – Digital Literacy: Curriculum Development and Implementation in European Countries
The latest CIDREE Yearbook was published towards the end of last year. Titled Digital Literacy: Curriculum Development and Implementation in European Countries, we contributed the Scottish chapter on how digital literacy has been embraced by education practitioners and learners across Early Learning and Childcare, primary and secondary schools (ages 3-18).
It details how adapting and diversifying modes of professional learning are critical in providing practitioners with relevant, motivating and skills-building opportunities to improve their own digital learning and subsequently provide better digital learning for young people. It then expands on how this has led to the development of knowledge, skills and application in the use of digital tools and on pedagogical practice.
