She delivered a keynote on the topic&nbsp;<em>Digital Transformation: From Apprehension to Ownership.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat we often see is that we approach digital change primarily from the perspective of tools. While tools are numerous, useful, and motivating, they are not the whole picture,\u201d she begins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A successful transformation isn\u2019t just about adopting a great tool or changing processes. Transitioning to digital also involves a cultural shift, a change in mindset, and a transformation of attitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>F\u00e9vrier emphasizes that even with a highly efficient tool, if users lack engagement or acceptance, the tool will fail to be adopted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur job is to work on fostering acceptance, which goes beyond just communication and training. The most important thing is to ensure that people understand the value of the tool and see how it can improve their daily lives,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoiding the Feeling of \u00ab\u00a0Losing Competence\u00a0\u00bb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge with new technologies is ensuring people don\u2019t suddenly feel \u00ab\u00a0incompetent.\u00a0\u00bb Teachers, who are often passionate about their craft, may perceive new tools as an imposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey already have their methods for teaching, and now they\u2019re being told to make videos, use e-learning, and adopt digital platforms. But that\u2019s not their core job!\u201d F\u00e9vrier points out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can generate a fear of digital tools, exacerbated by widespread myths about the risks and potential negative impacts on teaching quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People\u2019s reactions vary: some are naturally drawn to digital tools, others are apprehensive, and still others harbor misconceptions, believing that digital technology might threaten or degrade their teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Importance of Awareness and Familiarization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How can we demonstrate that digital tools add value to daily life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a societal phenomenon. F\u00e9vrier poses the question: Is the teacher\u2019s role solely to facilitate learning in their subject area, or is it also to teach students&nbsp;<em>how to learn<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the rise of artificial intelligence, the pace of change is accelerating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday, the most critical skill isn\u2019t memorizing competencies but learning how to learn. And learning how to learn without digital tools, in the society we live in, no longer makes sense,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This raises the question of what resources and support are being provided to convince, reassure, and motivate teachers\u2014so they, in turn, can pass this on to their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>How to shift your mindset<\/em>\u2014that\u2019s the real debate, not which tool to choose. That\u2019s where we\u2019ve focused much of our work so far,\u201d F\u00e9vrier notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As individuals, how can we feel comfortable in a world that is constantly changing, uncertain, and complex?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u00ab\u00a0Soft Cow\u00a0\u00bb Theory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When facing change or transformation, there\u2019s a statistical distribution of reactions: 15% are enthusiastic, serving as ambassadors who drive momentum; 15% are resistant; and 70% are undecided, forming the group F\u00e9vrier calls the \u00ab\u00a0soft cow.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis group watches where the most energy is being focused. The idea is not to spend too much time on the resisters because the undecided majority could be swayed in that direction. Instead, it\u2019s better to invest time in the \u2018evangelists\u2019 who want to promote change,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning to use digital tools is a societal phenomenon that cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBanning it is ridiculous! Learning to use it properly, including addressing the ethical questions surrounding it, is essential,\u201d she concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>F\u00e9vrier doesn\u2019t propose a miracle solution\u2014just a focus on asking the right questions and taking actions to support teachers, students, and parents in fostering an ethical use of digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During LUDOVIA#BE, held in Spa, Wallonia, from October 22 to 24, 2024, we encountered several \u00ab\u00a0gems.\u00a0\u00bb Over the coming weeks, we will share a selection of these through articles and short videos, which we hope will inspire your ongoing and future projects.
