This competence describes the ability to use digital tools effectively and specifically to research digital resources such as video and audio files. This is about finding efficiently relevant information to enrich the learning process.

In today's digital era there is a wealth of digital resources that could be used for teaching. The targeted use of search engines and school-internal databases facilitates access to high-quality materials.

A teacher wants to show the student a video on climate protection. The teacher uses a search engine for precise search terms to get relevant results displayed. When using the school-internal database, the teacher accesses videos that have been uploaded by other teachers and have already been tested for quality.

All competencies that are listed under the Digital Resources section illuminate different aspects that are important for the use and creation of digital media and resources. These competencies build on each other and together form a well-founded approach for competent handling of digital resources in the field of education. These basic competencies aim to provide teachers with necessary skills to effectively use digital resources. A comprehensive understanding of the use of digital resources in education is to be obtained.
