An online toolkit to support the development of teachers’ digital competences

Teachers’ digital competence is considered as one of the growing training needs of the Italian school system, even before the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly referring to the use of ICTs for teaching and learning. To face this request the European project DETECT has developed a series of tools and activities to support the promotion of critical digital skills of teachers and students. In this paper, we focus on the collaborative design and implementation of an online toolkit that aggregates open educational resources and teaching practices on digital skills issues, useful both for professional development and teaching. From the results of the project it emerged how it may be relevant for teachers being directly involved in the design through the collaborative production of tools, resources and learning activities.
