BLUE ARROW project aims to improve teachers’ preparedness to support digital learning, in a broad sense.
Rodari’s “Blue Arrow” is a novel strongly addressed to the tangible aspect of the toys and their “souls”. The project aims to take inspiration from this idea, reapplying this in the digital era by providing innovative practices for teacher education programs in HEIs.

Objectives
Targets needs and context
THE CONTEXT
The new approaches for teaching during the COVID-19 lockdowns have a huge impact on the education in kindergartens and primary schools, in particular in the range of age 4-7, where children needs to learn by experience, drawing or manipulating things without writing and reading skills.
BLUE ARROW PROPOSAL
The BLUE ARROW projects aims to create an innovative pedagogical approach for teacher education (ITE and CPD) that involve the development of a MOOC and the implementation of these practices in higher education courses in teacher education programmes for the new challenge of distance learning
DIDACTIC PRACTICES DURING THE LOCKDOWN
Learning based on traditional didactical material, is easily to be exported in distance learning. But in the case of children that are not able to read and write, the procedural learning that refers to experience and laboratorial activities involving the senses is fundamental and is needed a rethinking when schools close and lessons are in front on a screen.
TEACHER EDUCATION NEEDS
Teachers should be trained with renewed pedagogies, new ways to teach, including strategies for distance learning addressed for child education in kindergarten, in the first years of primary schools and in the transition between these moments.
