Time
• In-service training to give teachers ICT skill
• Virtual learning environments for schools
• ICT as a vehicle for enhancing the quality of education
ICT in schools – key words
ICT keywords for schools:
• Networking
• Collaboration
• Knowledge sharing and Knowledge management
• Ability to transform information into knowledge by offering children critical methods and means to combat the information overload brought about by the Net.

Time
ICT to become a personal tool for the student ◦ Personal PC, connected all the time. ◦ More problem orientation /project organised◦ New teacher roles – coach, facilitator, teamwork-
Together with old roles
New ways to organise education and learning ◦ Flexible organisation of lessons day/week/year ◦ Flexible ”classes”◦ Flexible use of teacher’s◦ Flexible teacher/ICT support
Use to learn
Municipalities own the schools. They are responsible within the regulations in the law.
ICT is not a specific subject in the curriculum The national law : ICT must be integrated in
all subject areas - where relevant National - binding - goals for all subject areas
from 2005. National guidance for all subject areas since ? Not a specific guidance for ICT goals (- yet),
but extracted in Junior pc- driving license from the relevant subject areas.
ICT in primary and lower secondary schools in The Netherlands
ITIF ( ICT in grades 1-10) – government programme 2004 – 2007/8
Computers etc. Digital content – on-line, web based Development of courses for in-service
training Knowledge sharing – best practise Emphasis on an early start
ICT – an important tool – not a goal in itself
Holistic approach
To enhance the quality of education in general by effective use of computers from an early stage.
To help children to develop literacy and numeracy skills more rapidly in order to reduce percentage of school leavers with substantial reading disabilities.
To offer the (small) percentage of children with no computer access at home the possibility in their school.
Computers for grade 3 – political goals
ITIF
Program runs 2005, 2006, 2007 Computers to be placed in grade 3 classrooms or in the
vicinity Municipalities must match the sum of money from
government to purchase computers/whiteboards. These computers are reserved for education, but can be placed anywhere in their schools.
”Take it- or leave” it programme. No transfer of quota from one year to the next.
2005 : 87% applied, 2006: 93 %, 2007: 98,5%

Education
• organisation• pedagogy
Content – goals
• ICT-based learning ressources (”books”)
• Universes for different learner groups on the EMU(national website for learning)
• The National Repository
• E- museum
• LMS-LCMS

Schools- the virtual layer
New digital educational publications
The school as an organisation has integrated ICT both organisational and in their teaching and learning
All teachers use ICT- both for organisational and pedagogical purposes
Pupils and parents have access to all school resources – net based from home - and can collaborate and communicate from home, libraries with teachers, other students etc.
E- readiness
On-line access to school resources Interactive communication and collaboration Teachers to put links, examples, demonstrations in subject
folders Teachers to comment assignments on-line – both when
they are finished and on the way . Pupils to communicate and collaborate with other pupils Results shown in each child’s portfolio Teachers to use learning objects from on-line repositories
when they prepare lessons Re-use of pedagogical data in school administration – and
vice-versa
Knowledge sharing, knowledge management
Use and period of use
There is no strong correlation between the span of years the system has been used and the intensity of use.
Strong evidence that with good management the full implementation period is 3 - 4 years
Applications of ICT in every aspect of school life
• Use of computers at exams - in primary and
secondary education. Legal right for students in
upper secondary education.
• Learning Content Management System – almost
100% coverage in public schools and colleges
(grades 1-12). Web-based. Accessible from home
as well (teachers, students, parents)
• ICT based exams (with full access to the Internet)
in the pipe-line. Programme started 2007
• ICT based adaptive tests in primary and lower
secondary school
• E-learning programs both for distance learning
and classroom
The traditional brick and mortar school will still be there
Aged divided class concept will still be standard – but combined with cross age/cross curricular elements
Majority of lessons will still be 1 teacher/1 class /1 subject area– but combined with group based/cross-curricular/project – oriented work and a group of teachers in collaboration.
Use of LCMS still primarily for organisational purposes – but pedagogical use increasing (class and pupil portfolios), use of L.O’s could be better.
Special needs education will be dramatically changed.
Schools 2016?
ICT leadership in schools Effective integration of ICT in all subject area where
relevant ICT qualified trainers of trainers How to move the 20% schools that lack behind in e-
readiness Web- literacy skills both teachers and learners Consequence of web 2.0 for education
Problems? – still a lot to be done.
