Digital competence for Educators

        Technology has been playing a crucial role in our day-to-day lives, however, it has barely gotten into education, at least not on a large scale. It has the potential to make a teacher's job trivially easy and we do not make use of such a tool. 

        You can use it for communication through instant messaging apps like WhatsApp, telegram, or share files related to work/class through google drive. These platforms allow you to reach masses of your choice and it allows you to do so with proper order and control, without chaos.

        You can also use it for collaboration! You can use technology to find or share teaching material with fellow teachers through Facebook Groups, Telegram Groups, Youtube Channels, and other platforms. 

        In fact, there is already a huge amount of content shared by English teachers around the world!
