Digital Firefly Toolkit
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed serious challenges to schools worldwide. The sudden transition from traditional to virtual classrooms plunged many teachers into uncharted waters, highlighting the insufficient experience with, and knowledge
of, digital and remote teaching strategies.
Digital Firefly identifies and addresses the challenges teachers, trainers, and teacher-educators face in developing entrepreneurial competences through the post-pandemic New Normal, with special attention to the development of online
and blended learning tools.
Teachers’ first responses to the online environment were mainly focused on completing previously planned teaching activities at the same time as trying to familiarise themselves with the use of online teaching and communication tools.
Yet, courses and programmes based on practical and experiential learning such as entrepreneurial education have been halted despite the significant efforts and advancements of the last decade to include entrepreneurship education
in school curricula.
This teacher handbook will first guide you through what Entrepreneurial Education is and will introduce you to the EntreComp and DigComp frameworks. A brief introduction to the Entrepreneurial Learning Principles will guide and inspire your teaching.
