Ceibal Foundation presents the regional network in #EdTech

Three key areas of work have been identified, with the intention of addressing the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its social implications:

• 21st Century Skills and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)
• Impact assessment in digital education
• Teacher professional development (DPD)
  

During the next three years, the network will promote three important mechanisms of action focused on Research, the promotion of institutional mechanisms and the creation of a regional community. These actions are translated into a set of initiatives that, with the involvement of policy makers and researchers, will enable the following specific objectives:

• Test, adapt or scale promising digital innovations to improve learning in LAC, focusing on marginalized communities.
• Strengthen government capacities for the use of evidence for designing policies in digital education.
• Build a regional community in digital education with research centers and public policy makers for the promotion and adaptation of evidence-based policy solutions.

The kick-off meeting “Presents and futures of digital education in Latin America” was organized in Buenos Aires by the Laboratory of Innovation and Educational Justice of CIPPEC (EduLab) and Ceibal Foundation, with the support from the International Center for Research on Development (IDRC, for its acronym in English).
