Abstract: The knowledge-based economy and the digital world are steadily transforming the teaching of younger generations but also the role and involvement of the teacher in the educational act. Accepting the essential role of economic education in the development of students’ mentalities and abilities, we implicitly recognize the central role played by teachers and teaching methods, as a considerable challenge to transform education, focus on active learning, providing students with new experiences inside and outside the classroom, involving modern methods of learning and experimentation. Generating digital educational content, as well as designing instructional tools that allow easy access to students of this content requires an effort of adaptation by educators for new educational realities. Digital literacy of teachers is necessary, as the first condition, and then it is necessary to form skills that allow the generation of content with characteristics adapted to educational needs, respecting quality criteria and ethical criteria. In this paper, the author also aims to present the ASQ platform as a space where teachers can create digital content, which can be shared nationally with other educators and which can be used successfully in specific economics classrooms.
