In my opinion, training courses are essential for the development of the school. In Romania there is the CRED course for each subject and 80% of the colleagues took this course. It is relevant for those who took this course, because we speak the same language. I learned a lot of web 2.0 and the lessons are much more active and the students are motivated.

I think continous training is essential to a teacher because it is not just learning useful method to motivate your students it is about to 'rise like a phoenix'. I know that could sound like a cliché but if a teacher is in tune with him or herself then the early 'burn out' could be avoided.

I believe that CPD must include the ability to lifelong learning, through peers, learning communities, self-training courses, and even the ability to pay the necessary attention to support students in their digital development.  In Portugal, teacher training is being carried out through hands-on training workshops, with work among peers and activities carried out with teachers students.

In my view, an effective continuing professional development activity on the pedagogical use of digital technologies should allow the participants to enter the role of the students. I find it much easier to learn when I need to do certain things, when I play, when I have a challenge. No lectures, no shows. Just practice. Collaboration. Teamwork. Then I will remember it for longer and I will know how to use it with my students .

I believe that professional development must come from all teachers in the school in order to be truly beneficial for children. Lately there have been many courses, webinars, online workshops to learn how to use technology, different technological tools, different applications or how to create content. Many teachers, including me, were trained, but each individual was not a unitary program from the school, to train the entire teaching staff in this regard. I believe that this lack of coordination, support, vision on the part of the management is lacking and is a training with many gaps.

If teachers want to constantly improve themselves in the use of digital technology, they should participate in different activities and projects. These projects will be a driving force for teachers to use technology. I have been participating in eTwinning projects since last year. As an ict teacher, I realize that there are web 2.0 tools that even I don't know about. Therefore, whether you are an ict expert or not, you will definitely have things to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that effective continuing professional development takes place with positive outcomes if it is developed considering these aspects:
- if a teacher is aware of the essential efficacy and strength of digital technology in integrating other classroom didactic approaches and strategies ( which in my opinion are still enormously fundamental)
- if teachers accept the challenge to learn to use some of the variety of digital tools, e few at first and and explore others afterwards.
- if teachers use their time ( even in informal moments -as we are used to do in Italy) to to share what they using and learning with other colleagues and ITC experts present at school.
- if the school Principal and his/her staff believes in the importance of the pedagogical benefits of using these tools in classroom activities and constantly involves teachers in professional development.
In my personal experiences, for example, as i was very curious about the use pf digital tools ( Genially, Kahoot,Padlet , virtual reality) in cooperative learning and in flipped classroom approach in fostering and practicing the use of English language, already five years ago I attended a course managed by a colleague expert in the matter.
Then I tried to practice what I had learned with my students, I shared my experience with any expert colleagues fo my school, especially the ones who teach scientific subjects, who are more mentally suitable to t matter.
Finally, after these ideas and practice sharing I felt a little bit more confident in using and exploring other tools, like Edmondo.
Recently, also school educational gateway courses are contributing to widening my horizon of many more interesting digital tools effective in education.

Teachers are at the heart of the digital transformation and therefore need continuous training and education themselves, which must include modules on age-appropriate teaching practices; this training takes time and should not be an additional task in addition to their daily activities; teaching other basic skills such as numerical and literacy skills, teaching digital skills requires teachers to continuously update their knowledge and skills; teachers need adequate, flexible and high-quality professional development that meets their needs.There is a need to change the institutional and pedagogical practices of schools and other learning environments, especially non-formal ones, which need to become more equitable, offering very diverse and in-depth support structures to all people, especially those in groups, exposed to the risk of exclusion.
Since the pandemic, each of us I think, at least this is the way I proceeded, spent long hours in night watching tutorials about different platforms and all free of charge Conferences and seminars which include digital tools or other practices, to learn how to use them. Moreover, I had to show and explain to my students how to use the appropriate tools. The school does not have a budget in this respect, consequently, each uf us had to manage somehow.

A big percentage of teachers are afraid of using technology in their class. Teachers should not be afraid to implement lesson plans based on technology. Life long learning is for everyone, so all educators should consider to evaluate their classes and update the way they teach. I use technology in my classes but I always want to learn more. Examples, good practices and of course sufficient facilities are necessary.

I also find collaborative learning effective in the form of a group of peers who meet in a regular basis to design their teaching and to incoroprate digital technologies based on modern learning theories. Subsequently they turn their design into practice in their classroom. Afterwards they reflect on their experience, with the support and coordination of an "expert" as mentor,  to define strengths and weaknesses and to redesign their teaching in a circular process.

In my opinion, it is extremely important to develop the digital skills of trainers, as you will be able to use them to use different learning strategies and methods, as well as different assessment tools.
Thus, before defining a plan for the development of in-service training for trainers, a study should be carried out on current trends in the use of technologies in education and training and a survey of needs among trainers, in order to meet their needs and difficulties.
The development of technological content to be shared in webinars, with the demonstration of practical cases could  be interesting activity.

From my experience, an effective CPD has the following ingredients:
- it is short. Teachers don't have much time, so it is not worth preparing lonbg training sessions;
- it is in a workshop format. Teachers need to apply what they have learnt immediately, so that they see the purpose of it;
- it should be monitored. There has got to be a monitoring strategy so that the most resistent teachers try it too.

An effective CPD training with focus on using digital technologies should start from identifying the needs of the trainees and the ways they can implement what they use in the classroom.  Moreover students needs have to be taken into account and teachers should choose those tools that are appropriate to the students need, environment and age.
I also consider it important for the teachers to get on the student's role while attending such courses - for example if they use a certain platform, they should know how that platform looks like for the student.
Last, but not least all we use as digital tools in the classroom needs to be considered and analyzed baring in my the educational objective we want to achieve.

The teacher is a profession that has to be constantly adapting to changes in society, in order to better integrate the teaching object
Currently, changes seem to appear more quickly at various levels, which makes continuous training imperative.
In the particular case of technological changes, it is important that teachers prepare themselves at this level in order to teach with more appealing tools and also that they can promote with students a more responsible and efficient use of them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important that teachers have their own cabinet with a stable internet and a good, recognized course (of this type) in which they can participate when they need and when them suit, that they can present their questions and get answers without anyone criticizing them. It would be good to offer courses like lessons in which they will learn to use applications and tools for teaching and evaluation. Also, teachers can to choose which one they want to study and for how long. It is not the number of lessons that matters, but the honest use of the same in planning and conducting the lesson.

Just like students, teachers seem more willing to learn something they will be assessed on than anything else. That's why I expect SELFIE for TEACHERS to spur us teachers to seek CPD in the pedagogical use of technology. I have reflected on the questions in this highly promising tool myself and got invaluable insight of all the areas of my teaching practice I can improve (ideally in a peer-learning context). A very good kick-off activity might be to study the SELFIE reports in a team of colleagues who trust each other and share the same vision, identify strengths and weaknesses and seek practices that work to collaboratively experiment with.

Education is a continuous challenge. Accumulating new information, training is not stopped once the exams are over, and the person who has learned to love continuous learning will be able to take their education into their own hands.
We can thus say that "education is like an art; a greater art than this
there is no art greater than this, for if all the arts are useful for the world to come, the art of education is for the world to come" (Ioan Hrisostom).
Starting from the variety of learning situations, we move towards a lifelong education towards a lifelong process of personal, social, and professional development in order to improve the quality of life, expected results.
In order to stand in front of the class every day with the right mentality, the teacher needs resources, a wellspring of new ideas, which helps him not to become sour, not to dry up. Finding the right ways to energize the work and harmonize values within the organization is more effective if the members of the organization become directly involved in personal training. A good teacher needs thorough specialist, psycho-pedagogical and methodological training, and must possess a number of qualities: openness, receptiveness to change, communicative, flexible, dynamic, empathetic, creative, diplomatic, with high moral qualities, and a love of children. Effective teaching and learning is another characteristic of a good teacher.
Continuous training, whether through self-training or through
training programs are what enable teachers to
to acquire new knowledge in the field, in methodology and pedagogy, to learn skills.

I believe that lifelong learning is absolutely essential because it provides us with more and better opportunities for personal and professional development. In Greece most teachers have been trained by the Ministry of Education in New Technologies.

Because of the pandemic and the need for distance learning, teachers have had to adapt to the new situation. For this reason, teachers have attended many seminars organised by the school and other institutions, such as universities, in order to be able to meet the needs of distance education.

Since the COVID pandemic started, there were more and more webinar and all different kinds of educations online, so this was the major opportunity to learn to use digital technology even you haven't used it so far. But even before COVID, after 2016. Croatia entered the educational system reform which required more and more education on digital technologies and we've done it via MOOC systems. this was the first real opportunity to learn something new and to encourage yourself to use digital resources and make ones too, even if you've never done it before. So, whoever wanted to learns something new and to improove its everyday work, there were plenty of opportunities to do so. I took all of those chances and I am happy about it!

In my opinion, an effective continuing professional development activity on the pedagogical use of technology should always be supported by teachers. It's true that we don't always have the tools to technologically interact with students, but it's important to keep on learning this type of skills. A possible option to do this is by organizing different courses to keep teachers updated. It would be a key aspect for teachers to feel comfortable when asking any type of doubt. Sometimes, we prevent ourselves from asking because we might feel embarrased. However, it's necessary when doing external training.

Considering the constant changes and and rapid advancements in digital technology it is very important to encourage teachers to be regularly educated for the use of new tools and methods for teaching and learning wih digital technology. It also depends on teachers how can they effectively implement digital technology into their teaching for purposeful use and on their interest to explore and learn new possibilities in teaching. Except organizing trainings for teachers it is even more important to make the use of it by applying gained knowledge in the classroom and sharing expericence by collaborating with colleagues.

All these posts from colleagues are so inspiring and it feels good to see how educators think and work for their CPD and thus show their responsibility for the future of their students.  As I experience there should be a vision what one wants to achieve and/or change at work at first. Clear goals and mindset will help to manage ups and downs in ones learning journey. In this context I like the word ˋpresencing´. It means the ability to imagine what is important for the future. It is very helpful to share this vision with colleagues (preferably in your workplace). Then you need offers that match to your needs. One very important part is the step that comes next. You should invest time and commitment to let the ideas of a teacher training come true and try them out in your allday practice. This needs time and often one will not recognize the benefits of the training instantly. If possible there should be an evaluation of the benefits and the further needs for teacher training before one starts the next steps. This way works for me and helps to keep up my motivation!

CPD is important and to be effective, I think it should be a continuous process as technology evolves very quickly. In addition, it should involve work where sharing is constant. It is by observing and working together that we learn. This collaborative work leads us to reflect, find solutions and become more confident.Of course there should be more time for this work and more training.
