Why and how are teachers integrating ICT (Information and Communication Technology) into primary education? In this course we analyse examples from schools in different parts of the world, and bring professional teachers, headteachers and policymakers together to share their best ideas and inspiring stories. The materials in the course are based on studies carried out for the UNESCO Institute of IT in Education, Moscow. Learning Outcomes: to be aware of the range of reasons for using ICT to critique the strategies for developing ICT over time to analyse the strengths and weakness of different decision-making mechanisms to become familiar with a wider range of useful tools and resources for integrating ICT

A side effect of the use of technology in education is that many schools and

teachers are getting involved in initiatives that

go beyond the boundaries of the school building.

In the first book of the UNESCO project on ICT in Primary Education, there is

a selection of national and international initiatives that

might be interesting for your needs or contexts.

There are some major international

associations or programs that provide information,

professional development, resources, and spaces to

exchange experiences for schools and teachers.

Some initiatives support the development of concrete collaborative

projects with students from different schools and countries.

And there are many national or regional initiatives that could be

a source of inspiration for policy makers or practitioners around the world.

Now, we will highlight just a few of

the many initiatives that are available in the world.

But in the next activity,we will offer a space for you, and other participants, to

share information on other projects and initiatives that you might recommend.

ISTE, the International Society for Technology in Education, is an

association for educators and education leaders throughout the world.

They have developed standards for ICT literacy and they host one

of the most important annual conferences and expositions in the field.

The Microsoft Partners in Learning network has worked for several

years with innovative teachers and schools from all over the world.

They offer several resources, expert advice,

research evidence, and participation spaces for educators.

Intel Teach, part of the Intel

education initiative, provides a professional development program

that helps to integrate technology into schools'

lessons and promote students' 21st century skills.

The eTwinning network offers opportunities for teachers across Europe to meet and

interact with each other in school

projects, special interest groups, and online forums.

It also offers a rich professional

development element by online learning events.

iEarn is a non-profit network that supports teachers and young people

in more than 130 countries to collaborate through a global, online

network in projects designed to make a difference in the world.

Many countries have interesting initiatives designed

to promote a good use of

[UNKNOWN] in their own educational contexts

with different [UNKNOWN] and technological approaches.

A few sample of them are the

national projects in Singapore, Uruguay, and Jordan.

These initiatives can be a rich source

of information for policy makers and practitioners.

It is important to learn from other's experiences, not only

from their success stories, but also from their challenges and difficulties.

This was a very small sample of projects on initiatives.

In the next activity we invite you to read and

contribute to a list of recommendations collectively created by all participants.
