This webinar, was conducted by my ICT teacher María Jesús García San Martín and we learned a lot about how to certificate our digital competence and other very interesting resources provided by de Spanish Ministry of Education.
Here is the link to the webinar: https://www.il3.ub.edu/es/servicios_empresas/agenda_empresa/eventos/webinar-aprendizaje-linea-competencia-digital.html
The platform that we used was “Webex” and the host was the Institute of Continuous Training IL3 of the University of Barcelona (Link https://www.il3.ub.edu/es/Home.html)
This has been the first webinar that I have attended, and I find it very interesting because it allows you to listen a lecture in any part of the world, the only thing that you need is a good internet connection. Also, I think that the tool that we used is very interesting because you can chat with the lecturer and ask the questions that you have or contact the support team if you have any issue.
To attend this webinar, we had to sing up in a webpage of the University of Barcelona and then they send me a mail with the instructions, the only thing that I had to do is download a complement in Google Chrome and set the speakers.
When the webinar started, I had some technical issues and I couldn’t see the webcam of the lecturer because my internet connection wasn’t good and strong enough, but I was able to hear the explanation and see the left screen where I could see the interaction with the webpage, so it was enough to understand everything.
In this webinar, we learned a lot about the INTEF that is the National Institute of Educative Technologies and Teacher’s Formation and their portfolio. The INTEF’s portfolio The INTEF’s portfolio aim is to promote the improvement of the teacher’s digital competence. This portfolio works like the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL), with six levels of competence (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2), and to get into this levels you have to first fill a questionnaire with questions of five categories:
· Information and data literacy
· Communication and collaboration
· Information and data literacy
· Communication and collaboration
· Digital content creation
· Safety
· Problem solving
After completed this questionnaire, to get the level certified by the INTEF, you will have to send evidences that you have the level of English that the questionnaire says. This is very interesting because it allows the teacher to prove their level in their own rhythm.
But, how can we give the evidence needed to prove our level? Well every previous work related to ICT that you have done in the past can be uploaded to our personal space in the INTEF webpage and see if is valid to prove our level. And what about if we don’t have any previous work or we cannot prove our level? Then the INTEF offers a bunch of free different courses and resources to help us improve our level.
This are the training tools offered that where explained in the webinar:
· EduPills: This are short activities of 3-7 minutes to improve our skill in a self-learning way. These activities are done with the App and they are great to do in free time or if we are waiting for something.
· NoocIntef: In this courses, you can reach the objective in 3 hours more or less, this one are for cooperative learning and are available for 10 days even doe you can still find the materials in the web to continue you’re learning.
· Safety
· Problem solving

· MoocIntef : This are longer courses than the NoocIntef ones, usually are 3-5 weeks long and are focused in innovative pedagogies such as gaming or learning based projects. In this courses, as in the last one, the materials are uploaded to the web even if they are finished.
· SpoocIntef: This are self-learning courses, where you can do them autonomously and in your own rhythm, so you can start when you want to.
I really like how the courses works because each one fits for every type of persons from the people who like to learn in their own rhythm to the ones that prefer intensive courses.
For me this has been very interesting and I do believe that it will be an important issue in the future to prove our digital competence, because the ICT are becoming more and more important, and they are great tools to use in learning because they give us a lot of possibilities in our classrooms.
Also I will like to point out that the portfolio and all the courses are completely free so they are a great opportunity for us to use them.
I hope that you found this interesting and I really recommend you to learn more things about INTEF and how it works.
