Training for the Digital Economy: Time to become leaders

First International Pedagogical Conference 'Training for the Digital Economy', held on November 22, 2019, brought together hundreds of teachers from more than 20 countries. This was possible due to digital technologies that rush into our lives our life.

The idea of the conference is to collect current digital practices and tools that can be used in the educational process and present them to teachers from all over the world.

The conference was held in Russia and part-time in 8 countries of the world: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Serbia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Spain, Belarus.

Regardless of their location, conference participants were able to join online broadcasts. 32 teams from different countries took part in the specially developed format of the conference — Tsifroton.

In addition, the participants were able to go through the Digital Quest — a fascinating task related to the introduction of new technologies into our lives — as well as write a Digital Dictation to check the level of their digital literacy and learn how to increase it.

Continuing the theme of training for the digital economy, it was decided to hold a second conference in April 2020 and summarize the results of the work that has been done.

The project is supported by Rossotrudnichestvo.
