- 7. Estonian National Lifelong Learning Strategy 2014 – 2020: rationale • “Use of ICT” model, based on computer labs, has reached its limits • PPT/IWB is not enough, does not change learning • E-learning (Moodle) model did not take off, does not suit primary and secondary schools • No good ideas for e-textbook model in current settings (1 computer lab per school) • Ergo: learning in the digital age, 1:1 and BYOD model, digital learning ecosystem
- 8. Strategy for Lifelong Learning 2020: action plan for Digital Turn in Estonian schools • Digital turn in formal education system: digital culture into curricula, bottom-up innovation, sharing good practice, educational technologists in schools • Digital learning resources: digital textbooks, OER, quality management, recommender systems • Digital infrastructure for learning : 1:1 computing, BYOD, interoperable ecosystem of services, mobile clients, school-wide digital turn (first in 20 pilot schools, then in others) • Digital competences of teachers and students: competence models, self-assessment tools, mapping with course offerings and accreditation procedures, updating initial teacher education curricula https://www.hm.ee/sites/default/files/estonian_lifelong_strategy.pdf
- 9. Experiences from Samsung Digital Turn project 2014-2015 • Whole-school digital turn: focus on change management and pedagogical innovation (Fullan) • Every school found their own focus (20 schools) – Learners as creators: Kahoot, Geocaching, Digital storytelling, learner-created textbooks – Systemic and sustainable change: formative assessment with e-portfolios, 3D-modeling – Leadership: digital language immersion, regional lead • Digital maturity self-assessment tool, peer- assessment between schools Samsungdigipoore.ee
