Abstract

Abstract: Digital competencies and their relationship with teaching innovation addresses the importance of educators acquiring digital skills and how these competencies influence the implementation of innovative teaching practices at the "9 de Octubre" Educational Unit. Digital competencies refer to the ability to use, understand and apply information and communication technologies (ICT) effectively. This implies not only the management of digital tools, but also information literacy, online safety and the ability to use technology to solve problems and communicate efficiently. Teaching innovation involves the introduction of new methodologies, approaches or technologies to improve the teaching-learning process. Digital competencies are fundamental in this context, as they allow educators to integrate technology in a meaningful way into their pedagogical practices. The ability to adapt to digital tools and take advantage of their benefits can lead to more dynamic and personalized teaching methods.
