Digital Learning Planning

The Digital Learning Framework has been developed to assist schools in effectively embedding digital technologies into teaching and learning. It provides clarity for school leaders and education providers in how to create a shared vision for how technology can best meet the needs of all learners.

This website provides a range of resources to support schools in this process, including a dedicated video channel (below) and an interactive version of the Digital Learning Framework.

Additional resources include face to face seminars (accessed via your local Education Centre) and a Oide Technology in Education online course

Digital Learning Planning Cycle

The Digital Learning Planning Cycle consists of six steps. These steps provide a process for schools and individual teachers to engage in when reviewing and formulating a plan to enhance their DL practices.

The first three steps are the investigation phase while steps 4 to 6 focus on the creation, implementation and evaluation of the DL Plan.

For more information, click on each of the six steps in the Digital Planning cycle graphic.

Step 1

Identify focus

The school*should firstly familiarise itself with the DL Framework. Having reviewed the domains and standards, the school should identify the standard(s) on which it wishes to focus. It is not recommended that a school will focus on all 32 standards, but instead identify a sub-set that is relevant to the school.

*Though this document refers to schools, this cycle can be engaged in by an individual teacher, a group of teachers.
