Abstract
In recent years there has been increasing interest in the theme of the digital competence, and in how to apply this notion to the school context and relate it to concrete evaluable educational objectives. This paper presents a digital competence model that the authors have formulated. The model stems from an historical view of educational technologies and is related to other representations that have recently emerged from international projects. The paper also offers some suggestions on how to advance transfer to a practical evaluation system.
