•INDIRE is a public research institute dealing with educational innovation. •INDIRE collaborates on a regional and local level with public school authorities, schools, associations foundations universities and on an international level with the other EUassociations, foundations, universities and on an international level with the other EU Ministries of education through European Schoolnet and with industry partners.
National digital plan for schools: objectives
(2007 2012)(2007 ‐ 2012)
• Introduce ICT as part of the daily tools of classroom activities
• Experiment new models of teaching and school organization
• Support the development of new learning resources and environmentsenvironments
The starting point: use of IWBs

The starting point: behaviours of teachers
• High rates of teachers have PC and Internet connection compared tothe average population levelthe average population level
• ICT are used to prepare lessons, search for information, write texts and assessment tests. But those materials are often used in paper version in the classroom
• ICT are mostly used for personal purposes, for professional development and to prepare and document lessons (before / after the classroom activity).

OTHER RELATED INITIATIVES
• Development of national and school information systemsAnagrafe Nazionale degli Studenti is a national longitudinal information
OTHER RELATED INITIATIVES
Anagrafe Nazionale degli Studenti is a national longitudinal information system. All schools must phase out the use of paper records and equip themselves with school management systems and electronic registries that
bl t h i f ti ith A f di tlare able to exchange information with Anagrafe directly
• Phasing out of paper‐only textbooksSchools can no longer adopt paper‐only textbooks. At the request of families, schools ensure that ICT devices to access digital contents are available. Families contribute to costs, up to a cap amount fixed by law.

National digital plan for schools: strenghts
• Means are aligned with the goal of increasing the use of ICT in schools (IWB as main focus)
• An efficient procurement procedure (Consip)
• The strategy builds capacity (phased approach, experiments)
• The “contagion” strategy creates teacher demand rather thanresistance (voluntary process)

National reviews
CREMIT, Cattolica University of Milan DiSfor, University of Genoa
“The objective to bring the Trojan Horse [the Interactive Whiteboard] into the classrooms has been achieved. Now it's a matter of letting the warriors get out.”
Innovation is often left to the initiative of the single teacher.

Lessons learned
• Formal training do not necessarily enhance innovation• Formal training do not necessarily enhance innovation
• Results of national innovation supporting initiatives are pp gnot always predictable
• The effectiveness of a specific type of innovation supportingstrategy depends on the context and the level of e‐maturity
• The “contagion” strategy creates teacher demandrather than resistance (voluntary process)( y p )
