In the digital age,
to be a good teacher, it is necessary that in addition to master a scientific
area, whether it be knowledgeable of pedagogical and didactic skills as well as
digital skills.
Pedagogical and
didactic skills, should cover methodological and technological aspects related
to the production, presentation and publication of content, classroom tutoring
and online formative assessment continues, the use of an LMS and the use of a
synchronous virtual classroom, if working in distance learning. These
techniques are covered in one other chapter. https://goo.gl/5AU1dc
From our experience and research, we identified about 50 complementary digital
skills for education that we think can be divided between mandatory and
recommended.
The following classification is very subjective
because much depends on the professional involvement that each teacher has in
his daily activities, and education level that is on working.
We have divided the
activities identified in 11 topics:
1.
General aspects
2.
As information and research source
3.
Communication and collaborative work
4.
Share documents directly or cloud
environment.
5.
Publish content and work
6.
Organize images and videos
7.
Social networks and manage communities
8.
Territorial information, maps and
circuits
9.
Source applications and utilities
10.
Schedule Online
11.
Other recommended
Our research project takes
the following steps:
1.
From the identified skills, making a
survey, asking teacher´s opinion about the identified digital skills to
identify the digital skills as mandatory and recommendable.

2.
Base on the obtained results, interview
international experts about their opinion related to the survey conclusions.
3.
Identify absolutely necessary and recommended
tools to be used for teacher´s digital
skills.
4.
Make videos and text tutorials about the
use of the mandatory and most recommended digital skills (integrating automatic
translation in text and subtitles), as well as recommended applications to be
used about each topic.
The conclusions of
our survey are pointing the relative importance of the topics under research.

conclusions
For each of these most important identified topics and sub-topics we are preparing video tutorials, with a view to its characterization, and in some cases instructions, more or less detailed for use. We will put our focus on free using applications.

- General aspects
The Internet has been
and continues to be one of the most dynamic ingredients, of digital
revolution. It is therefore necessary to know in some detail how it came
about, what it was, what it is and its trend of development, as well as how
this element fits and interferes in our society.

translation into all languages and How to generate YouTube subtitles in all languages

n Google cultural Institute
n Basics about security and ethics in Internet
n Basics about installing/uninstalling applications
n Basics about hardware/operating system maintenance
n Screen capture and Copy images from Internet
n Copy music
n Basics to record audio and video
From our point of
view it is very important to start giving instructions about how to translate automatically
texts and create subtitles in the videos in all languages.

Today we live not
only, in the knowledge and information society, but also in the communication
society in real time, it is however necessary to master tools to do so. In
today's communication, we require not only communicate in audio but also in
video, sharing screen of our instruments, whether PCs, mobile phones or tablets.
Disseminating
information synchronously or "on demand", spreading globally in
research, content, or current information or merely the URL where this
information is accessible.
For these we need to
have automatic language translators. Reducing or URLs that convert
sometimes too long links a small number of characters, so can be shared on
social networks or transmitted directly. For these we need to master
information and the use of applications with the following profile:

- As information and research source
The Internet has
revolutionized the research process and research as well as to obtain results
of surveys distributed online. The improvement obtained it was not only in
information search speed, and the quality of data collection and dissemination.
But, when two decades
ago it was proposed to create a knowledge and information society, connecting
cultures and civilizations in real time, what really happened was come a
society of information overload and lack of knowledge, where an important part
is wrong or manipulated. It is therefore necessary to know search and
select the quality of information, not to be led into error.
Access is extremely
simple and the search information is available by writing or voice search,
simply follow the methods themselves.

- Communication and collaborative work
Today in a global
society, the interactivity and the planetary collaborative work is a necessity
and a reality which greatly benefits the results. We can quite easily join
a group of experts from various parts of the world and organize work together
with minimal effort and saving a lot of time for travel and lowering of any
project budget. What in many cases it would not be feasible with physical
meetings.
However requires own
methods and techniques accordingly. We must therefore overcome some
limitations. Whereas the various players can be distributed by the
"four corners" of the world, it is therefore necessary, knowing the
right time to all participants in a project in accordance with the time zone
where you are. To convene meetings is therefore necessary that all the
different hours to be converted in one hour reference. Or whether the
bandwidth is enough to make contact videoconferencing, or meet minimum to
overcome the difficulties.
Or match the agendas
of several people, super busy twenty-first century and for this purpose use a
software accordingly.
But still use a
methodology that optimizes the work to be done and choose the most appropriate
application.

documents directly or cloud environment.
Work on projects
remotely implies not only communicate in audio and video with screen sharing,
but also sharing files where you can collaborate in real time or
asynchronously. But both have a way with another to master a set of
appropriate techniques. Today we have above all, the environment
"cloud" that helps us to synchronize documents and various equipment
in real time.

- Publish content and work
Today we all have
something to share, the reality of our day-to-day of our investigation, our
individual work or team. Today at our disposal, a set of tools and open
servers that use extremely facilitate our work and publish our portfolios.

- Organize images and videos
We live in a
multimedia world, where images are the main ingredient in teaching
communication. Capturing images is crucial, but it is essential to
organize them, share them individually, or arranged in simple or very
sophisticated format.

alone, everyone with everyone, whether in their specific communities or social
networks. Meet their basic and which best serve our interests, and meet
the minimum as manage is an absolute necessity.

- Territorial information, maps and circuits
The world is at our
disposal in classroom format. With some time constraints and economic, but
mostly virtual access it is right at our fingertips.
Today there are lots
of written information in photos and videos that allow us to get a detailed
information about almost every place on the planet.
It is therefore easy
to organize our circuits, and long trips. We can identify, distances,
times, alternative circuits. Public transport and more, it's very easy
provided you use the application itself.

- Source applications and utilities
We are often facing
problems to solve, but we often forget that there are many applications that
can help us a lot. For these you just look in the right place and in most cases
we are surprised positively.

– Online agenda
A few decades ago all
of us had their agenda in paper, where we pointed everything, and every year we
need had to get a new copy and a number of things to the new agenda …
Today everything has
changed and improved a lot.
If you do not have a
digital agenda, that is the challenge?
