Our view on developments

Data driven education (I) (learning analytics & digital diagnostic testing)

Professional development (I)Insight and overview

Use of ICT is a must; teacher as a professional decides what and when to apply

High importance: knowing the mechanism and not the application

Be able to deal with personalised learning

ICT integrated in curriculum initial teacher education and training for current staff

Professional development (II)IT Competences Teachers (and managers)

Knowledge, skills and behaviour

Three core tasks in which ict should be used– Pedagogical, teaching and facilitate learning

– Own professional development
