Embed digital learning and teamwork in your class
digital learning, teamwork, creativity, atmosphere, and self-effectiveness
Welcome to the P.L.A.N. Project
Who we are?
We are teachers from five countries and have partnered in our Erasmus project P.L.A.N. to find ideas and support in implementing digital transformation in schools and classrooms.
​
For us, it's not just about technical skills. It's also about how we can develop self-learning skills and a positive learning environment to shape the digital transformation process in schools critically and creatively.
The Idea of the P.L.A.N. Project
P.L.A.N. - Pedagogy and Learning in Agile Networks
Our four basic steps for digital transformation
European Teachers' Network
Digital Tools
Agile Team Management
​
Creating digital products to build digital developer skills ourselves
Collaboration and support with European teachers to learn from each other
Agile project management to promote lifelong learning and teamwork, where we work with Scrum
Creative Methods
Creative learning in the design thinking process to think out of the box and find new ideas and solutions
How can teachers keep up with the rapidly evolving digital landscape?
The question of why we should deal with digitalization was our starting point. It quickly became clear to us that the rapid pace of digital development can overwhelm many people - teachers and students alike. We want to empower teachers and students to take part in shaping the digital future. Our project idea is based on four steps: building a European teachers' network, learning more about agile project management and creative methods, and producing digital learning material.
How can we prepare students to remain curious, critical, and lifelong learners?
How can we implement methods and projects in classes that are motivating for team learning? We think it is important that students produce real live learning material for other students, that they can benefit from.
P.L.A.N. European Networking
First Step: Learning in Agile Networks
Firstly, we network as teachers from five different European countries to exchange ideas about digitalization in schools. We also want to learn more about the economic and social development of digitalization in order to prepare our students well for life and work. With this in mind, we network with representatives from companies, IT consultants, universities, educational institutions and museums to find out which relevant developments we need to prepare our students for. This is the basis for our further project approach.

P.L.A.N. Agile Teammanagement
Second Step: Get familiar with agile project management
Scrum - Agile Project Management
We use agile project management to promote lifelong learning and teamwork. Scrum is the most widely used agile project management method in business.
It strengthens teamwork and the commitment of individual team members. In addition to the product result, the focus is also on the learning processes of the individual and the team.
P.L.A.N. - Creative Methods
Third Step: Design Thinking
Atmosphere, empathy and creativity are essential to create places for learners to try out new solutions to future challenges. The Design Thinking method is perfect for such a setting. It enables teams to develop prototypes with empathy, creativity and knowledge acquisition. The prototypes will be further developed in a process with the users.
P.L.A.N. - Digital Products
Fourth Step: Creating digital learning Tools
Producing digital learning tools helps us develop our technical and creative skills. We find out what is difficult and learn better how we can support our students to build their own digital learning tools for other students. It is important that the tools are developed for real users - only then can there be real feedback.
We teachers are learners ourselves in this process.
We have created eBooks, explainer videos, digital escaperooms, podcasts, mergecubes and 360-degree videos.
It was also important for us to get feedback from our students.

P.L.A.N. - get inspired
Additional Step: Motivational Appetizers
Dealing with digitalization in schools can also be tiring because the development is so fast or the educational questions are not easy to answer. We cannot simply fall back on tried and tested methods. We sometimes have to break new ground. In doing so, we must see ourselves as learners. We also need inspiration and motivational appetizers to go down this strenuous path.
