After the face-to-face meeting held in Barcelos (Portugal) in October, the schools participating in the DTICEQT project began working on the implementation of the several CPS defined by the working groups in the transnational meeting.

The methodology established by the groups of schools, created to ensure an international composition in all of them, will be developed as follows:

The schools of each group will work the same CPS simultaneously, with the provision of a CPS implemented every 15 days. Initially, each school will work with its own students in the presentation of the practical case, obtaining information, its analysis and processing, to finish preparing the final results, with support of ICT tools.

For this, each school will first carry out a training activity for the teachers involved in the project, so they know the methodology of working with the CPS, as well as the DTICEQT project and its objectives.

Once all the schools in the same group complete the implementation of their projects, the students of all of them will connect via virtual meeting to exchange experiences and share results, enriching the work they have developed up to then.

The priority areas for the development of the CPS are:

• Personal & cultural heritage

• Enterprises & economy

• STEM

The second meeting of the consortium of the European project DTICEQT took place in Barcelos, Portugal, on October 6, 7 and 8. Coordinated by the Educational Technology group of the USC Tecnoeduc, the researchers Carmen Fernández Morante, Beatriz Cebreiro López, Milagros Trigo Miranda, Javier Garbayo Montabes and Enrique Latorre Ruiz participated in this meeting.

DTICEQT (Digital Technology, Imagination, Creativity and Entrepreneurship for High Quality Teaching), Erasmus+ KA2 project, of the strategic action cooperation for innovation and the Exchange of Good practices, aims to promote the development of digital teaching skills among teachers and identify learning areas in which creative digital teaching could improve the experience of students. It has a total funding of 157,356.00 €, and is integrated by a consortium of seven institutions, six of which are schools.

In an increasingly digitized world that has only accelerated due to the challenges arising from the COVID-19 health crises, this training will be of great value to all current and future teachers.

In DTICEQT, activities will be carried out that reinforce and complement international cooperation and virtual mobility between schools, students and other institutions with the aim of achieving excellence in school teaching and learning. This involves strengthening the teaching profession at all educational levels by improving digital skills addressed through the design of innovation strategies with which to offer students a high quality inclusive education. Therefore, it will be necessary to identify the innovative technologies and practices that are appropriate to each curricular area and learning competency and to implement flexible and creative learning environments through the use of technology, in order to reduce school failure and increase the number of students who pursue post-compulsory education.
