Michaël Van Royen presented the following topic at LUDOVIA#BE in Spa from November 1st to 3rd: pedagogical-digital minimalism or prioritizing meaning over tools.
Far from being anti-digital, Michaël is rather techno-curious and has been using digital tools in his courses for years. He is also a trainer in digital usage.
The idea was to reflect on the introspection regarding the use of digital tools, rather than rejecting them altogether.
In the digital training sessions he conducts for teachers, the frequently asked question is, « How many tools should be integrated to make it coherent and relevant? »
For him, the crucial question is, « Should we measure and prescribe a number of indispensable tools for the system to make sense, or should we instead reflect on the meaning behind the tool being used? »
He also mentions a « digital overdose » post-COVID, which led some colleagues to completely abandon digital tools.
Therefore, embracing minimalism and seeking the meaning behind the usage helps reintegrate digital tools into a thoughtful and reasoned practice.
