Sharing digital pedagogy to improve teaching pedagogy and teaching quality with high school teachers

 The 4th COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam, especially the southern provinces, is still developing quite complicatedly. The rollout of all classes online for the upcoming new semester (Moving to September 2021) is inevitable. Although we have implemented online learning in the past time, there are still many things to note in terms of overall and uniformity.

There are many factors for an e-learning system to work stably and effectively. But first, teachers need to understand the nature of online teaching and learning and use some basic tools to do it effectively.

Sharing is a quick and effective way for all members to work together to improve teaching pedagogy and teaching quality.

During the isolation period, LHU cooperated with high school (Lac Hong Bilingual School - LHBS) to organize the first phase (2 days) workshop to train high school teachers with the main contents including:

- Digital teaching methods 

- Meeting support tools (Microsoft Teams, Zoom)

- Integrate h5p in creating interactive lectures.

There is still much work to be done, let's share and progress together.

ABSTRACT 
The development of science and technology has had a strong impact on the education environment recently. The integration of digital technologies and tools in teaching and learning activities and curricula have renovated the role of the schools, educators, and learners. Accordingly, learners are at the center of the learning process while educators and schools create suitable conditions to promote creativity and autonomy in the learners' spirit. Both educators and learners need to have knowledge about digital capabilities which is one of the essential competencies in the 21st century.

CONCLUSIONS

Currently, science and technology have been developing quickly. This has had a strong impact on almost all areas of social life including education. Accordingly, the integration of digital technologies and tools in teaching activities and training programs has become common. The educational environment has been changing dramatically and new educational models are gradually replacing traditional ones. The roles of school, educator and learner are being redefined. In the current educational development trend, learners are at the center of the learning process while educators and schools need to create favorable conditions to promote creativity and autonomy of learners. Both educators and learners need to be equipped with lifelong learning capacities in which digital capacity is one of the kernel competencies in the 21st century. In this research article, the authors only present the importance of digital capabilities for educators and learners in the present educational environment. The development of digital capabilities in the national education system in general or educational institutions, in particular, requires further research and investment to make decisions, policies and appropriate development
