TET makes the difference in a long term use.

The abilities ICT brings may devellop other metodologies and capabilities of our students, for example digital competences, criativity, collaborative skills.

Issues that I pointed out:

Use of technology in moderation

individualised learning

collaborative and project-based learning

Technology - enhanced teaching competence - proficiency in using ICT in teaching

Ability to apply pedagogic and didactic judgment

Awareness of the implications of learning

Lots of frameworks and Spain as the first european country to have a national framework

The challenge of the TET supporter is to create students' activities such as they will "walk" through 3 roles during the educational intervention: not passive but interactive "viewer"., "critical reflection" and creator.

Interesting video with well stated and briefly description for the 3 phases for teacher (Technology Literacy, Knowledge deepening, knowledge creation). Also, it is interesting the Spanish framework both in what they have to do and what they do (assessment tools for techer, for students, for school)

Technology in teaching should be used for enchancing collaboration, creativity and understandating.

I totally agree: a moderate use of ICT at school greatly improve the students' motivation and engagement, with better results from a didactic point of view.

There's a way to combine technology, information and communication to make exciting and engaging digital-age lessons.  Our students will enjoy their work while we are helping them prepare for the future.  I love and want teaching with TIC because they will help me to watch as the light of learning burns bright within our students.

In my opinion this video is very useful.TET competence should be the result of balanced links among technology, methodology, subject content and students need. I must say that I agree with the idea that ICT have to be used with moderation and efficiently.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this video is very useful because it underlines a basic concept: the real purpose for using technology in learning: to help students develop the 21st Century competences.

# data[].attributes.body
I think students should use technologies, but they have to do that under the supervision of a teacher.

The current framework is really clear: we always have to choose quality, not quantity. Usings frequntly ICTs in classroom doesn't mean improving effectiveness and quality of teaching.

I'm really pleased to see a lot of Italian teachers in this course and in the course "Developing digital skills in classtoom" ... it's a clear signal that digital education in our country can became better and better :-)

I agree with the idea that ICT have to be used with moderation and efficiently. I have always asked me this question since I use Technology in my lessons, which happens quite often I had to reflect on this matter because in my school I am the only one who does , so I am criticized by my colleagues andeven by some students. They say that using ICT is useless and a waste of time in any case has a negative impact on the students learning because the students are distracted by their  studies. I am greatly worried because I Do want to act and work to for my students benefit .

I am grateful to attend this course where surely I am going to find the answer to my doubts and to those who want to ban ICT from education.

TET competence should be the result of balanced links among technology, methodology, subject content and student needs. We have to use all those things in order to face nowadays challenges.

TET competence is the ability to teach content using ICT and by doing so, allowing students to develop skills which will be needed in an ever increasing technological world. The real challenge is to keep up with the speed at which ICT is constantly evolving.

Recently there are lot of opportunities for training in the use of ICTs in education. Especially with distance learning courses, teachers can have a formation that suits to their personal interests and needs and in addition they do not need to spent two much time.

TET is the ability of a teacher to adequately use ICT tools in his/her teaching and, at the same time, assure that it really fosters effective learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Tet competences' requirements are evolving quickly; in order to keep them up to date, teachers need a massive and continuous training. My country lacks such a training: teachers often have to rely on themselves. That is why we are here, after all.

# data[].attributes.body
In my country there are many high school teachers that cannot apply ICT in their teaching as a result of limited use of technology in Greece. But then we can only go up, cant we?

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers at primary and secondary school are in my country much more active in using TET then teachers on university level. Grotesque situation appear: young people used of ICT in education from former education level come to university, where some teachers still come to lecture room, open book and start to read.

I agree that we can not take 20th Century teaching and use 21st Century educationel tecnology without considering how to use it and when. It calls for new tescher competences.

I'm having a look at some of the links suggested by Caroline, and I think there is a lot to do!

My personal knowledge and competence on how to use IT in my life or to make my planning easier and faster are not enough to think I'm able to teach students to be IT competent user.

The list of 21 competences indicated by DIGCOMP framework is very interesting, but it also worries me a little bit. Am I really able to teach students all of them alone? In three classes per week?

As teachers we must be prepared to provide technology for our students, we are the models for them - so ” proficiency in using ICT in teaching, the ability to apply pedagogic and didactic judgment, and having awareness of the implications for learning” are very important for us.

The competences necessary for a modern teacher were formulated and defined in the legal basis of Lithuania in 2007 when the ‘The Inventory of Teacher Profession Competence’ was confirmed. This document distinguishes four competences of teacher’s profession: cultural, professional, general and special. The professional teacher’s competence consist of eight skills: development of educational (learning) environmet, curriculum planing and development, management of teaching and learning process, student assessment, student motivation and support, recognition of student’s progress, profesional development and use of information technologies. However, despite the fact that the use of ICT is considered as an important part of the teacher's professional competence, the question remains, how and how much teachers use ICT in teaching and what is real impact of using ICT on student achievement.

# data[].attributes.body
It's so many years I'm trying to understand under which conditions, and in order to achieve which objectives ICTs are really rewarding.

If the use of ICT is well designed then it could be an effective learning tool.

This video made me aware of the lack of digital competences I still have. Need to work on it and make a more critical use of digital tools, always thinking about of the implications it might have in students learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Digital tools gives students "a voice". By this I mean, that in the analog classroom, the teacher normally just ask the question out in plenum and a couple of students raice their hands. The Teacher pick one, and the student answer. Only one student have had a voice in this setup.

I would like to point a famous Latin quote: "In media stat virtus".

I agree on UNESCO's Framework when it emphasizes that it is not enough for teachers to have ICT competencies and be able to teach them to their students.

Unfortunately I'm lacking of either ICT technology or ability to help students. I need this course!

# data[].attributes.body
There are some main ideas that I liked in this video:

1. adding 21st-Century technologies to 20th-Century teaching practices will not improve the effectiveness of teaching.

2. ICT has pedagogical added value when it supports individualized learning, formative assessment, and collaborative and project-based learning.

Those items state that a strong pedagogical basis is always essential when we decide to work with ICT in our classrooms.

It is not just "add and try if it works", but we have to be sure that our "technological experiemtns" have a right theoretical approach.

# data[].attributes.body
Two major assumptions underlie the role of ICT: the first is that the proliferation of these technologies is causing rapid transformations in all areas of life; the second is that ICT function to unify and standardize culture

I really think TET, « proficiency in using ICT in teaching, the ability to apply pedagogic and didactic judgment, and having awareness of the implications for learning», is a fundamental competence for us, teachers. Even the somehow unexpected results of the new PISA report just published on students’ digital skills should remind us to look at our students’s ICT habits and also to our practices as well.

I think TET competence is one of the most important requirements for teachers since the feature of the era that we are living. Our students are not passive learners as in the past, Coversely, they are so fast learners especially when it comes to tecahnology which make it more dfficult for teachers to engage them in lessons and motivate them.

However, the quite interesting point here is that most of the teachers are not aware of the pedagofical aspect of using technology in classrooms. May be, this will be the key point for our focus.

# data[].attributes.body
I think TET competence is very important for 21th century teachers. Because this new area comes with the requirement for TET competence because needs are changing, there is a load of imformation and we need to select and use it for our purposes.

As some of my peers say, I truly believe and defend benefits from using ITC at Education. They will improve learning and what is better it will allow students ( and teachers) to be connected with the real world.

So, no matters with the surprising the results described in the video being proficiency with our digital Skills will improve our student results while using ITC at school. We will be able to apply a proper didactic and pedagogic judgment within the class.

A number of schools and teachers in France receive computers or tablets without asking for them and unfortunately without necessary pedagogical reflection. I imagine this is the same for some other countries. It is not surprising that the teachers do not see good results in this context. ICT is very time consuming and often practically challenging in a school context. Time for training teachers and accompanying teachers as they use new ICT tools is essential to seeing success for students in the classroom .

# data[].attributes.body
ICT are used at my school and despite some normal problems I believe they help students to improve their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I am also convinced that students who use PCs at school tend

to have better learning outcomes, and the use of ICT in didactics,

certainly would improve learning.

I think it is effective and funny as long as you don't have vocational students aged 16 or older -like I do... Making them move their legs is hard.

There are many benefits of using technology but only in certain contexts and with certain aims.

Often students are more familiar than teachers about using new technologies. A small percentage of teachers in a school have digital skills and use ICT in learning.

Theory and Practice: there's allways a distance between them. However, i think both parts, teachers and students, enjoy the use of ICT during the learning process.

We as teachers have an obligation to teach our students, the right use of technology, using all pedagogical principles. The added value of the use of technology is very great, when we are careful in how we will use these tools.

I think this video  defines
very well TET competence. Since I became a teacher, about 18 years ago, I´ve been using/ experimenting several technologies in the classroom (I teach natural sciences) but I´ve also been reflecting in how I use them: in the beginning, the success of a lesson plan using technologies for me would be the engagement and motivation of students for learning (might say, just the use of the resource itself); nowadays I have been more careful in how I use digital resources, such as preparing students and activities and learning outcomes.

Another interesting thing is that now I see as important working digital skills in my students as the  specific natural science competences.

Today a student from 7th grade asked me if I was just a science
teacher? I answered "yes, why do you ask? And he said "I thought you
were also a ICT teacher!"  Maybe he
is right…. Hope so! :)

I am aware of the great ideas and changes that are taking place in education. 21st century skills are important and TET is now a must. I am also worried because in some schools we cannot work and support our work by using technology because  internet is missing or not good.  But I believe that  today  education requires a different approach.

# data[].attributes.body
We are in the 21th century, where technology is part of the most varied areas of our lives. Thus, the TET competence is important for us, teachers. Teachers have to invest in training in the area of technologies and acquire digital skills. We must learn to use technology in our classrooms moderately and fostering collaboration among students.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that teachers' competences should be more implemented to have a positive effect on students' digital skills. So I agree with what has been explained in thivideo

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the TET competence was discribed quite well in this video. I believe that it refers to our -teacher's - competence in using technology in our teaching in certain areas. I think that the ability to handle different types of technology in your teaching can give your pupils a more spherical view of what is being taught.

# data[].attributes.body
TET competence is important for us, teachers. New era - new tools - new ways of teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Using technologies allows us to have a wide range of tools that our students can handle in order to develop their skills , we can also Access to a wide variety of media, and activitivies which go futher that the textbooks

# data[].attributes.body
Using new technologies is the only way to expand access to knowledge more than ever, то new informations and data, to the best and latest international textbooks. ICT and TET competencies enable teachers and students access to specialized facilities that go far beyond textbooks. New technologies provide a good platform for cooperation in the creation of knowledge. With the help of new technologies teachers can share and enrich the teaching contents, and, the most important thing, to be able to develop innovative teaching methods that determine the students as active participants in the learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that knowing technology is like having lot of tools in our hands, but we have to learn how to use them as teachers, and we need to know as teacher the best way to teach to students how to use it, so it could be a tool for our benefits, instead of becoming a "weapon" against them.

Also I think that with technology we can involve the most of our senses to have a better learning, for example if we see photo of a dinosour, it is not the same as viewing a dinosour movie, because we can appreciate more things, like the way they move, the way they act, and many other things.

# data[].attributes.body
Using modern technology, we can change the atmosphere in our classroom. As teachers we can inspire our students to think critically, to encourage their creativity, to allow them to actively participate in teaching, and support them to become major initiators of changes to the curriculum.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree teachers should improve their ICT competences as to understand pupils and their learning environment in the digital world of the 21st century. Students need to be able to face problem solving by themselves and not just wait for us teachers and parents to do it.

“To use or not to use?”, that’s the question! I agree with Karoline that ICT has pedagogical added value when it supports individualized learning, formative assessment, and collaborative, project-based learning. As Artemis says “"Metron Ariston".  ICT is a valuable tool at the disposal of teachers nowadays. We look ahead. We can’t return to the past. We need to teach our students how to learn, be creative and responsible using efficient and inspired teaching methods including TET. Technology can become a blessing when used in moderation.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what Karoline says: using techonology in classes does not always mean that the students improve their learning standards. It is tremendously true that teachers have to become proficient in using techonologies properly which means that we need to acquire awareness of the implications and impact the use of technologies produces on our students unless we support our work with the application of the right pedagogical and didactic judgments .

ICT should be a tool to get better results in the learning process. The structure in greek schools make it difficult for teachers of other subjects to use the Computers lab. Because there must be someone to help them with the lab if something does not work as it should. The only person who could do this is the Computer science teacher who has to teach and many other things to do.

# data[].attributes.body
For a number of reasons there is a high failure rate for new technologies in classrooms.  It may be problems with the hardware or software, in which case using it for teaching may be premature.  It may be lack of knowledge of how to use the technology on the part of the teacher or students or both.  In this case it is best for the teacher to become comfortable with the basic operation of the technology before introducing it to a class, and to provide explicit instructions for students on how to use it before expecting them to complete assignments.  Hold a class session in the technology center early on with technology personnel to trouble shoot in order to avoid common problems.

I think that this is an interesting and important thing to enhance and develop, TET. I know about PISA and have the greatest respect for it but I do not agree with them here, or with media more accurately. It is very important to implement ICT but we cannot force 21st CLS on a 20th Century teaching - we need to work with educational solutions to support the teachers. They need support - not a hard time for doing their best for all the children!

I totally agree that we have to use technology , just only to use it . We have to embed it ,only to enhance the pottential for understanding the learning material better .

We have to be open to apply new educational processes an in this way help our students to think and obtain competence in problem solving.

Teahers, as citizens, develop their own ICT competence, but it is important to consider that teachers need a concrete approach of this competence to help students in teh learning progress. This means that teachers must learn to use technology for teaching purposes as well as acquiring enough skills to be able to assess their student's learning with ICT and their ICT competence.

Technology clearly enhances teaching . It makes it more alive, attractive, interactive, helps creativity with all wonderful tools it offers.
However I believe that  good education must have a good context. The context comes first and the great helpful tool, that is technology, is second.
Everything has its place in the education system. We must educate citizens with values and virtuesso that they use technology and offer to society wisely.
