Integrating Digital Sustainability into Teaching

Description

Concept by Dajana Jelavić

Basic Computer Proficiency required. Read more »

Basic computer proficiency courses are designed for individuals who have limited experience with technology. Participants will learn fundamental skills such as navigating the web, and using basic programs.

The growing use of digital technologies, particularly generative AI, has raised concerns about their environmental impact.

While digital technologies hold the potential to address climate change, they also contribute significantly to carbon emissions, surpassing even the aviation industry in their environmental footprint.

As educators, we have a professional duty to equip our students with the skills necessary for a green transition.

This involves emphasizing the responsible and sustainable use of digital technologies.

This course aligns with the European GreenComp framework, which underscores the importance of digital sustainability.

Participants will explore strategies and resources to seamlessly integrate sustainable principles into their teaching practices.

Through hands-on activities, collaborative workshops, and practical applications, participants will learn how to:

  • Foster a culture of digital sustainability in their classrooms;
  • Advocate for equitable access to sustainable digital tools and resources, ensuring inclusivity in technology education;
  • Promote green tech solutions and future-oriented thinking;
  • Develop critical thinking skills and understand the interconnections between digital, environmental, social, and economic systems to make informed decisions;
  • Effectively communicate the importance of digital sustainability and share best practices with students, peers, and stakeholders;
  • Foster collaboration among students, educators, administrators, and the wider community.
  • Cultivate a culture of continuous learning, staying updated with the latest green technologies and practices.

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to implement innovative strategies for integrating digital sustainability into their educational practices.

They will also leave with ready-made school plans that can be immediately implemented upon their return, as well as ideas for more comprehensive events and initiatives with a broader impact, aimed at encouraging the adoption of sustainable practices as soon as possible.
