| Abstract | A world shaped by technology has not changed the aim of education to prepare young people to contribute to society, to enhance it and to make it grow. Nevertheless, the increasingly connected world and the unstoppable use of new devices connected to the Internet have really changed the requirements and abilities needed by new generations. Digital competences are the set of new abilities that the international community is integrating into compulsory education and lifelong learning programs to deal with this pressing concern. Boosting these digital skills should be a priority in every government's agenda, not only through lifelong learning programs, but also by including them in compulsory education. This essay presents some of the results from a broader research project on the digital competences of primary school teachers and students in Castile and Leon (Spain). The main goal of the study is to evaluate digital competence levels drawing on an earlier study on the specific international assessment of digital literacy and digital skills. The sample consists of 678 students, ranging in age from seven to twelve years, from public and private schools in urban and rural contexts, and 67 primary school teachers. The comprehensive statistical analysis of the results reflects that both teachers and students lack digital skills. This means that teachers cannot make pedagogical use of them, so that teacher-training policies in this field should be reconsidered. In students it reflects the danger of a digital gap that would not be brought about for reasons of use or access, but from lack of training. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
