Digital Educational Environment: New Opportunities For Teachers Of Additional Professional Education

The 21st century marks a new era - the era of digitalization, therefore Russia is implementing the "Strategy for the Development of the Information Society in the Russian Federation for 2017 - 2030", which aims to create opportunities for people of different ages to receive quality education using modern information technologies. Teachers of preschool education should have the competencies demanded by the 21st century society in the digital learning environment: information activity and media literacy, the ability to lifelong education, communication skills and professional mobility; effective performance of professional activities. The exceptional role of the system of additional professional education (hereinafter referred to as APE) is noted in the implementation of continuing education of teachers of preschool education. The activities of institutions of additional education in many respects depend on the ability of the teaching staff to possess information, quickly analyze and process it, and also bring it to the end consumer - the student. Studies conducted in Russia and abroad show that the teaching staff of institutions of additional education will allow the use of a wide range of modern information technologies, which requires a rethinking of the educational process in terms of changing its organization, and the development of and implementation of a new approach to building a modern APE system becomes a priority.
