Next edition TechTalks050, March 16 - The digital world in the classroom
The digital world is all around us – even in primary and secondary school classrooms and in the backpacks and pockets of every school pupil. But who is ensuring that children possess the right digital knowledge and skills that are indispensable in our current and future digital society? And how can this digital literacy contribute to talent development in the classroom? Innovations in ICT are leading to new forms of learning and teaching. Which digital innovations are making both teacher and pupil a digital frontrunner?
Two professionals from our digital world will discuss these questions during TechTalks050. Both speakers have won prizes for their scientific and innovative work.

TechTalks050 part of regional program "Noorden Digitaal 2020"
From 13 till 19 March 2020, the north of the Netherlands will be dominated by digitization. Not only through Nederland Digitaal, the national national conference that the cabinet is organizing this year in Groningen, but also through the many digitization activities that are being organized for the general public in this period in the Northern Netherlands. In the context of Noorden Digitaal we show that the Northern Netherlands is an innovative region in the field of digitization.
TechTalks050 is part of the Noorden Digitaal program. In the regional program you will find all events that are related to digitization and that are organized in the North.
