  • We encouraged teachers through Learning, Teaching, and Training activities to share their practical experience in order to promote the use of digital technologies. 

Environments

  • We applied the teacher research concept and designed a review form, which helped us to collect authentic data about the lesson that was implemented. 

  • Each lesson was designed and conducted by our project teachers, for this, we developed a structured form for creating digital pedagogy lessons (see https://digitalpedagogy.school/lessons-structure/)
