Comprensive guide & pilot online platform for SELFIE-PTK (SELFIE Pedagogical Innovation Assistant Toolkit - Version 2)

The SELFIE-PTK is designed to help individual schools enhance their digital capacity through formulation of their own digital action plan for innovation based on the outcome from their specific SELFIE self-reflection process. The toolkit facilitates this process by providing structured support through the phases of designing, implementing, evaluating and refining a school digital action plan. In this way it should help the school address its specific needs as part of the general effort to develop its digital competence. Indeed, various efforts in Europe, like the EC's SELFIE initiative, are seeking to accelerate educational innovation in Europe's schools by supporting the development of digital competence of school learning communities, i.e., learners, educators, trainers, and school leaders. In many cases, this is being pursued through the school community's self-reflection about existing digital competence within the school and how to nurture that, going forward. Commonly, support for this self-reflection comes from using tools like SELFIE1, based on the EC's digital competence framework for organizations DigCompOrg2, or from similar undertakings in individual Member States, like Finland's Opeka3 or Ireland's Digital Schools of Distinction4 (to name just two examples). When school communities use such tools as part of their innovation efforts, they usually manage to get a clearer picture of the precise point they have reached - school-wide - on digital education. The next step is understanding all the detail, which that picture shows, and how to nurture the aspects that the school sees as most important. And that is where the SELFIE Pedagogical Innovation Assistant Toolkit, or SELFIE PTK can help, by bringing the school's digital education 'picture' into focus, stimulating fresh ideas for action, and offering guidance for turning those ideas into well planned digital innovation paths.

SELFIEPTK è un kit pedagogico per la competenza digitale della scuola, sviluppato per aiutare i singoli istituti scolastici ad esplorare i propri risultati ottenuti dal percorso di autoriflessione SELFIE sulle competenza digitale e per assisterli poi nella creazione di un proprio piano d'azione dedicato allo sviluppo di tale competenza. SELFIEPTK è stato realizzato dall'Istituto per le Tecnologie Didattiche del CNR (ITD-CNR) e dall'Istituto Pedagogico di Cipro (CPI) nell'ambito del progetto europeo SHERPA. Questa versione verrà sperimentate anche nelle scuole italiane fra novembre e dicembre, 2021.
