Developing Competency 2 Using Digital Technology at the Secondary Level
Overview of the course
Welcome to your "Developing Competency 2 Using Digital Technology at the Secondary Level" online training, Visiteur anonyme! We're thrilled to have you join us on this journey of learning and discovery.
This course was developed to address the need to better understand the development of Competency 2 through the use of technology. If you have other needs or require further support regarding Competency 2, please feel free to contact your pedagogical consultant, your local RÉCIT, or the person responsible for ESL at your School Service Centre. They will be happy to assist you with any additional resources or guidance you may need.
This course is also available in hybrid mode in some School Service Centres. Contact your ESL consultant for more information.

This course is designed to be hands-on. Before you begin, take a moment to choose a learning sequence you plan to use in the near future to develop Competency 2. It could be a Learning and Evaluation Situation (LES), a unit from your activity book, or any another material you plan to work with that includes a reinvestment task. Ideally, it should be something you will still be using by the end of the course, so you can build on it throughout the modules and try out what you create with your students.
I recommend choosing a sequence you would like to improve, perhaps because students find it challenging, or because you see potential to enrich it with digital technology.

- explores examples of pedagogical uses of technology that can be used to prepare students before introducing texts,
- prepares an activity using a digital tool of their choice for this purpose and,
- shares the activity or sequence.
Design 02
Length: 150 minutes
The "Design 02 badge is awarded to the learner who:

Transfer
Length: 195 minutes
The "Transfer" badge is awarded to the learner who:
- analyzes an existing C2 learning and evaluation situation (LES) with the intention of ensuring it is a solid reinvestment task,
- ensures that the LES includes activities to prepare students before introducing texts, as well as activities for students to explore and respond to texts to construct their meaning. If necessary, the learner creates additional activities that integrate digital technology to address any gaps or missing elements,
- proposes two reinvestment tasks that integrate technology to enhance or improve the final reinvestment task if no digital technology option was present in the original LES.
