Past Continuous – Digital Information Literacy innovating History School Curricula and learning delivery

The Past Continuous – Digital Information Literacy innovating History School Curricula and learning delivery project, funded by the Erasmus+ KA220-SCH – Cooperation partnerships in school education program of the European Union, will be tackling the European Digital Information Literacy shortage in school education integrating it in history learning delivery.

The main aim of Past Continuous is to include digital information literacy skills into existing school education subjects instead of creating new one which does not fit with teachers timetables. The merge of digital information literacy with history lessons will address the innovation of history teachers’ curricula delivering an updated set of skills to analyse and compare texts belonging to past and current history equipping teachers with skills to forward to students.

In this sense, Past Continuous’ key elements are the following:

• Enhancing students’ skills connecting current digital information literacy skills with history lessons;
• Developing competences and tools for school teachers;
• Inform European school systems on how to include digital information literacy inside teachers’ curricula and initial trainings;
• digitalisation of teaching methods.
