Abstract

Based on results on media usage and explanations on skills related to media, the article focuses on digital practices in religious education. To analyze the transformation of digital practices associated with digitization, the actor-network-theory is presented and the terms digitization and digitality are defined. One vignette (in the form of a description of one lesson) exploratively explore the question of how teachers are able to accept the challenge of digitality, to what extent they open digital practices and to what extent these are linked to traditional practices.
