Abstract

In recent years it has become clear that teachers need digital competency to master their everyday work. However, this digital competency is based on informatics concepts and phenomena that cannot be addressed in an appropriate way without informatics education. This article describes an approach to basic informatics education for all teachers, regardless of their subjects or stage of their professional life. The results of a funded project in the federal country of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany are presented in which, among other things, a community of practice (CoP) with members from all three phases of teacher education (pre-service, induction and in-service) developed and tested a modular concept of basic interactive informatics teaching units.
