Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to give an overall image of how Finnish-developed Peda.net can help educators teach their students according to the ICT skill requirements set by Finnish national curricula.

Design/methodology/approach

In the paper, two different Peda.net use cases are introduced. These cases can give important practical tips on how to involve more ICT in schools for educators worldwide. The use cases are evaluated and agree with Finnish National Curricula requirements.

Findings

Peda.net is an e-learning environment. However, using it as part of teaching is a good way of introducing ICT skills in students regardless of whether working together in the same physical environment or remotely from different locations.

Originality/value

This paper can open up a global discussion of best ICT teaching practices and give some practical ICT teaching tips for teachers all around the world.
