Embed Digital Literacy & eTwinning Awards Ceremony for scholastic year 2020 – 2021

The Directorate for Digital Literacy and Transversal Skills within the Ministry for Education and Sports plays a key role in celebrating good practices of digital literacy in the classroom. Through Embed digital literacy awards (https://digitalliteracy.skola.edu.mt/…), our directorate seeks those whose exemplary work provides a model for teaching, learning, and leading in the digital age.

For this Embed Awards, there were 4 categories as below:

1. Early Years This category was for educators (teachers, kindergarten educators and learning support educators) of early years (Kindergarten, year 1 and year 2). The first 3 initiatives were given an award.
