What does digital transformation of education actually mean; and what is the technology we use to support this transformation? The discussion invites participants to reflect on the connection between digital pedagogy and digital transformation and ask themselves the question whether we are there yet both in terms of pedagogy and in terms of technology. This reflection will be done through a critical evaluation of existing practices among AMICAL teachers, in terms of matching acquisition of higher- order skills, and use of technology.
A survey prior to the conference will establish the list of tools and skills taught by the interested participants. This list will serve as a base for the discussion on whether, and which of the digital pedagogy practices, are transformative for learning and higher-order skills acquisition.
The follow-up activity will invite participants who implement technology leading to higher-order skills development, to contribute to a collection of short practical notes to be shared among AMICAL members, or publicly.
