SELFIE self-reflection tool
SELFIE refers to online self-reflection tool for schools who want to reflect on their uptake of
digital technologies for better learning.
The idea is that, every year, schools reflect on their current uptake of digital technologies
for innovative and effective learning and take snapshots of where they stand. So, this is like
a selfie!! Schools can share their 'selfie' with the others, as they like, as people do with their
selfies in social media.
SELFIE is the abbreviation for:
Self-reflection on Effective Learning by Fostering Innovation through Educational Technology
