EdTech: Assessing your digital skillset
A teacher's professional digital skillset consists of two components; technical and vocational knowledge. This requires teachers to develop sound digital pedagogy – applying technologies to best effect in teaching and learning – and to keep up-to-date in the changing role, impact and development of the technologies that frame and shape their learners' working lives.

very good and clear to understand
The importance of remaining up to date with technology. There are still personal barriers to this, however it is important that everyone equally starts to embrace new digital ways of working as they are not going away and are now a fundamental part of or job role
it is important to keep up to date with technology and new digital skills and software. I appreciate the opportunity to do this through the ETF courses and upskilling.
Excellent way of updating yourself as a professional.
This was helpful
This module emphasises the need for ever evolving knowledge and skills which is exactly what I am aware of needing. I would have liked a little more probing into what I am (and am not) capable of but I think that will perhaps come later.
