5.1 Accessibility and inclusion

Use technology to make students' learning easier by removing barriers that hinder their access, participation, and progress. Ensure that digital resources are accessible to everyone, including in physical, sensory, and cognitive aspects. Apply measures that promote equity and help reduce the digital divide and the impact of sociocultural and economic inequalities on their learning.

5.1 Accessibility and inclusion

Examples

I select the most appropriate joystick to control the movement of the cursor on the computer screen when the pupil has motor issues with the advice of the school's counselling services.

I develop, with guidance, classes in mixed settings when there are pupils who cannot attend school for health reasons.

I identify the conditioning factors of the digital divide of the school's pupils and apply the solutions suggested in the school digital plan with guidance, e.g. using free software office applications.

5.2 Addressing personal differences in learning

Use digital technology to address the differences among students, ensuring their digital rights so that everyone can achieve their learning goals.

5.2 Addressing personal differences in learning

Examples

I use, with guidance, different digital technologies available in my school to carry out activities that facilitate a pupil’s choice between different options.

I use programmes, recommended by my school's counsellors’ team, for late school pupils learning to read and write.

I set up, with guidance, a lesson on operations with integers that applies different learning paths depending on the answers of each of the pupils in the tasks.

5.3 Actively engaging learners in their own learning

Use digital technology in classes to get students more involved in what they're learning. Make them the main drivers of their own learning, helping them develop important skills like critical thinking and creativity.

5.3 Actively engaging learners in their own learning

Examples

I select, with the help of other teachers in my school, a gesture-controlled conso for my pupils to work on laterality, rhythm and general dynamic coordination.

I implemented problem-based learning in an interdisciplinary project, where students calculated the number of trees cut due to paper waste in the school and proposed strategies to reduce environmental impact using digital technologies.

I selected a digital tool with other teachers to create interactive maps and timelines, helping students understand Plato's philosophy and political theory.
