I think that giving each other feedback is very important form for improving. The person who is giving review can look more precisely at the work, see what are the necessary elements, what can be improved, so he developed analyzing and evaluating skills which are very important. The person who is receiving feedback can see over his own work again, noticing places where he can improve and on that way learning according his pace which is first step in developing long life learning skills

Very interesting course concerning different areas of digital skills that can be developed in the classroom. I have already knew some of the things discussed here but I have met new friends, seen other opinions, read interesting learning diaries and gotten a lot of new interesting ideas about implementing ICT in the classroom and developing digital skills. Thanks to you all!

As I mentioned before I organize different activities, workshops, debates to address safe and responsible use of social media.

Also in the curriculum about ICT we have a topic about Internet safety. I must mention here web site about children rights on internet which is on macedonian and albanian language and covers different aspects of safe use of Internet by teachers, students, and parents

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the module I have mentioned that the things that should be improved is connected to the computers. Social media is blocked on the computers used by my students so I tried to teach them a lot of things theoretically and be showing them examples, through different activities like workshops and debates etc.

Module 5. Social media as learning network

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers are continuously learners. We learn every day from other teachers in school, from our students, too. We research and learn online, so face - to - face learning is present in our everyday life. Digital closed and digital open communities are part of my everyday learning too. I am member of different closed communities but also I want to share and to learn from the others using open communities

# data[].attributes.body
I think that social media are very important for educators and for students, as well. Sharing is the most important part of learning. By sharing ideas and examples we can learn from each other and improve.

There are some dangers I think in the concern of reliability of the shared information but we were talking about this earlier. Teacher should help students to learn how to use social media in the right way!

# data[].attributes.body
I work as an ICT teacher and the thing that can be improved in my school is connected with computers.

Although we have a computer for each child they are old and we can not use all the interesting web 2.0 tools that are available online.

# data[].attributes.body
As long as we look on the computers and Internet just as a tool in the class everything will be fine. Internet of things can not lead to the creative and collaborative work of the students if there is no teacher to guide them.

All that we should worry about is how to persuade teachers to follow the changes in the ICT industry and to find new ways to make learning more interesting for the students and easier for them by using Internet of things :)

# data[].attributes.body
Very interesting topics. We don't have robots in schools in Macedonia, but some of our teachers in primary schools use robots that can be used as a tool in other subjects. They have very interesting ideas and I think that using robots in the classroom can make classes more interesting for students and in the same time they can learn other subjects curriculum.

I haven't used robots in my class, but have been present when my colleagues use in their classrooms for example about orientation in the space. They are very interesting for the lower grades, but I am sure we can think about using them with the upper grades students.

I have used TouchDevelop last year during the coding week. It is an interesting app, but unfortunately I didn't continue using it. I hope that this year I would have more time and use it with my students

# data[].attributes.body
Woow what a question. There can be apps for anything. The first thing that I got on my mind is maybe the student can create a app that will show their progress over the time. For each student, access can have student, parents and teachers They can all put information about students behavior, his involvement in subjects tasks, extra curriculum work, achievement, feedback how to be improved etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that coding can be linked with all other subjects. Using different programming languages students can create games that can be integrated in other subjects.

It is all on the teachers' and students' creativity

# data[].attributes.body
I think that pair programming is a great thing because both students are thinking and they learn how to act in a group, how to be part of a team that is doing a great job.

I use pair programming while students make programs and I must say that at the beginning students were questioning why are they doing coding on this way but later they like.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that coding is the new literacy. It develops a lot of digital skills and other skills that are needed for living in 21st century and developing skills for life long learning. I think that it should be thought in the primary school. In my country students learn coding from 3rd grade (8 years old). At the beginning the aim is to develop computational thinking. They learn Scratch Jr, after that Scratch and in the secondary school other programming languages.

I teach Scratch and my students love it. They think that they are playing but actually many skills connected to the programming are developed.

# data[].attributes.body
I like working with children. I like when I see happiness on their face when they did something well and when they are satisfied with their job. Nothing can be as special as that

# data[].attributes.body
I must admit that I haven't used tools for game design. I decided to use some of them after course Games in school but there are so many tools that we can try so I didn't manage. But now I will use something and try to involve games in my classroom

# data[].attributes.body
I have been using wordpress and weebly. I like both.

I create a place where me and my students can collaborate, share ideas, share work, give each other feedback, revise our work, improve it. The most important is that we have a class outside the classroom. Students use it without space and time limitation. So we are using it every class and even after classes. My students are impatient to see what's happened there and they check it on regular base.

Mostly my students use Movie Maker to create videos from their work, they love it! They have created a lots of videos using Movie Maker. Lately I am trying to introduce them to some online tools for creating videos like Animoto. They are very interested in creating their own video

I'll put here a video that they created about the project that they conduct in schools about Safer Internet Day - online rights and responsibilities:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
We were working on the raising the awareness of the students and parents about ethic use of Internet. The topic was The rights and obligations on the Internet and the motto - Connect with respect. The students searched on Internet about the benefits from using Internet, how should we behave, potential risks and how to avoid them.

# data[].attributes.body
As I mentioned in the previous part I use blogs, padlet, Edmodo etc. I have been using Google Docs mostly to communicate with my colleagues, but It is never too late to use it with students right? :)

Module 3 How to create digital resources

# data[].attributes.body
I have been using different ways to involve my students in creating digital contents and showing them in front of others during the years.

First I started with using blogs, all my students have blogs where they put their own work, reflect on it, improve after getting feedback. Students enjoyed working with it, I have evidence about their work and their improvement and I was very satisfied with their achievements but and with the digital skills that they developed.

The last thing that I have been using is Edmodo. I have created virtual classroom where me and my students work together without space and time limitation. We communicate, share ideas, work, give each other feedback etc. We talk a lot and about quality of our work and how it can be improve

# data[].attributes.body
Since I am an ICT teacher I know that technology is changing every day so we must stay in touch with all that. I am familiar with the most of the tools about audio and video creation, media communication, coding etc but I am sure that I have a lot to learn too.

# data[].attributes.body
I try to avoid digital plagiarism by giving my students a work that need logical thinking so they can't just copy, paste from Internet.

But we discuss a lot on this topic because students admit that they use copy paste in other subjects.

I didn't know about tools mentioned above, I'll try them for sure :)

# data[].attributes.body
When I started working as a teacher I didn't think a lot about copyright issues. It was an online course that opened my eyes :) Very interesting topic and a lot of teachers and students don't know and don't think about it.

I talk with my students a lot about Creative Commons and try to teach them on understanding copyright issues

# data[].attributes.body
My students use Wikipedia very often because they can find information on macedonian language. But we talk often about reliability of the information, so I tell them that they should check the information that they find

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of my classes I started a discussion with my students about reliability. We talk a lot that we can't trust everything that we read or see online. But my students seem that already know that so we have a great discussions full with examples

# data[].attributes.body
I have never used Google Alerts before. Very interesting. I'll try it and then I will show it to my students

Very interesting video. I can't remember other tips. My students like to say "if you don't know something ask google", but I always tell them that they should know how to ask in a right way

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite search engine is google, maybe because I am used to it :) I recommend other search engines on my classes because I want my students to see that google isn't everything, to try something new and to see what best fit them.

# data[].attributes.body
I am an ICT teacher and I think that I have different digital skills. But if a look better in the one mentioned above, I think that I am the best in creating digital content. Anyway I like programming, the way that it develop logical thinking. For the purpose of my work I must be informed about new things related to the ICT so I think I am good at finding things on Internet and online communication

This video was the first one that inspired me to think about education in the future

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Truly an inspiring video that really made me think about the world not made by me It's made by: mr. fisch-cdu mr. mcleod-cdu deliberately chose 9/11 because i thought it was most appropriate for at this time to think about issues like these

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that we must think about the future. We don't know what jobs our students are going to work or what skills and knowledge they are going to need. But we must prepare them to live in that kind of future. We must teach them how to learn on their own, how to reflect on their learning and how to improve. On that way they will be able to manage with all the challenges in the future, because change will be the only constant over the next 10, 20, 50 years.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that digital portfolios are very important for future jobs, also online interviews, videoconferencing etc.

But I haven't had online interview yet. I like the guidelines from the video, they are very helpful.

I have a LinkedIn profile but unfortunately I don't have many information on it and I don't update it on regular basis :(

From this video I have heard about interesting web sites that I didn't know before. Thanks for sharing!

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree that jobs are changing. Now we have jobs that didn't exist 20 years ago and we are preparing our students for jobs that are not invented yet. We don't know what are they going to need. We just know that the influence of technology is enormous. So we must develop digital skills, we must teach our students how to manage in the information's ocean, how to be a long-life learner. Academic degrees won't matter, we must teach our students that informal education is the most important, that each day they should learn something new and follow the changes in the world

Module1. What digital skills are important?

# data[].attributes.body
Digital skills are very important. We live in a modern society were digital skills are necessary for students, teachers, parents, for everyone. We are digital citizens :)

I agree with the Mashable website. Producing, presenting, storing, sharing information is very important and students are willing to learn this. We must teach our children how to get access to the information they need, how to validate it, and how to get conclusions. Critical use of the information is very important, too. Teachers and the classrooms are the first step in developing digital skills at our students.

# data[].attributes.body
In Macedonia there is a project called "Computer for each child" so all schools in my country have computers for every student.

I work in a classroom with 32 computers that work on Edubuntu operating system. We have two laptops, camera, scanner, printer, LCD projector and a whiteboard too.

My students are very interested in working on computers and every day they want to learn something more. They are exploring and very satisfied when they find some new tool that can be use in their everyday life

Hi, I am an ICT teacher in primary school "Krste Misirkov", Skopje, Macedonia. I have been working as a teacher for 15 years.

I strongly agree that sharing and learning from each other is the best way to improve teaching and to make learning more interesting for our students.
