This study aims to present preliminary findings of the Digital Teachers Project that is carried out with
elementary schools teachers in Turkey, which is basically designed to develop and improve their digital
literacy and competencies. This project aims to contribute to digital transformation in education by
increasing and improving the digital competencies of teachers who have difficulties in using digital
technologies in their classes, especially during the emergency remote education we are experiencing
due to the pandemic. Designed based on, “learning by doing” approach, the project was highly
appreciated by the teachers and completion rates and teachers’ satisfaction levels show that the ‘Digital
Teachers’ Project offers a viable and sustainable model for in-service teacher education
