The digital revolution is boosting demand for digital skills and competences, thus requiring investment in infrastructure, organisational change, digital devices and digital competences of educators, and the creation of digital (and open) educational resources and high quality educational software. Education and training should reap the benefits of new ICT developments and adopt innovative and active pedagogies.

It aims to produce 6 Intellectual Outputs which were pilot-tested and reviewed in order to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.The project aimed:- to design a complete TOOL KIT that assisted teachers to upgrade their digital skills and to assist schools to develop digitallyoriented strategies and plans.- to develop the Digital Competence Framework with benchmarks and indicators against which teachers’ practices, knowledge andskills will be assessed and validated through an assessment system to be designed based on the use of the Open Badge and e-Portfolios as a way to introduce transparency, visibility, transferability and validity for the new digital skills acquired.- to deliver a professional development programme for teachers to be offered both on-line and school-based, accompanied with anEducational Pack with adequate teaching material to support their teaching.The above enabled primary school teachers and schools:- to contribute towards the achievement of the targets of the ET 2020, the Digital Agenda, the e-Skills for Jobs Campaign whilemeeting the needs of contemporary education- to provide upgrading opportunities for teachers, in order to empower them to deal with the challenges of new digitaltechnologies, provide quality education and potentially support students for better learning outcomes and equip them withessential skills to bridge the gap between education and the world of work.Project intellectual outputs completed:IO1 - GoDIGITAL Competence Framework for primary schools IO2 - GoDIGITAL: The assessment and validation process for digitally literate teachers and schoolsthrough the use of Open Badges and e-PortfoliosIO3 - GoDIGITAL Educational Pack for Teaching and ImplementationIO4 - GoDIGITAL Learning and Management Platform -IO5-Go DIGITAL From theory to practice: Implementation and evaluation-IO6-GODIGITAL PACK for strategic exploitation and endorsement in Primary Schools - Declaration- Memorandum of Commitment for Digital Literacy in SchoolsSet of webinars were prepared by leader of the project (SAN) about methods and tools of using new technology in teaching in primary schools.C1 and C2 training were conducted in the timelife of the project.
