In the digital age, education at EDN incorporates new technologies and their uses, allowing students to acquire digital skills from primary school onwards.

Digital teaching at EDN promotes individual responsibility while facilitating communication and cooperation among students. This approach complements traditional educational offerings and enhances learning efficiency.

 

We use a variety of digital resources, such as e-books, digital portfolios, and educational games. These diverse tools provide enriched learning opportunities and promote balanced usage.

 

EDN leverages technology to improve learning in an ever-evolving context, enabling students to better adapt to educational tools.

The night of code

Since 2023, EDN has participated in the Night of Code, a programming marathon during which students (from 4th grade to 9th grade), in teams of two or three, have 6 hours to code a game using Scratch, a software already used in class.

 

In 2023, for its 7th edition, this event brought together 8,600 students from 370 French schools in 50 countries. It was supported by the Ministry of National Education and Youth, as well as the French Association of Computer Science Teachers (AEIF).

 

During the event, students tested their ability to work in groups, their algorithmic and mathematical skills, and their creativity (the game worlds are very varied and allow for a lot of imagination and scenario building).

 

EDN is one of the world winners of the 2023 edition.

PIX digital certification

The PIX certification for 9th-grade students certifies knowledge and digital skills in several areas, such as information searching, personal data protection, digital content creation, online collaboration, technical problem-solving, etc.

 


Awareness of digital usage

 

In middle school, external speakers – in addition to school teachers – raise students’ awareness on topics such as fake news and cybercrime.
