Mainstreaming

iTEC High Level Group

In order to meet the strategic project objective of mainstreaming the innovative use of ICT, iTEC has put in place a High Level Group of decision-shapers to ensure that project results feed into policy-making and the educational reform process at regional, national and European levels. This group includes two former Ministers of Education, current heads of national ICT agencies and other leading experts in ICT implementation in schools.

Since 2010, the iTEC project has been working towards designing the future classroom. To date, over 2,500 classrooms across Europe have taken part in the iTEC school pilots.

As the school pilots come to an end, iTEC is entering into a new phase: the mainstreaming of the project's results across education systems as a whole. To this end, the iTEC project has organised a number of events with policymakers to ensure the uptake of the iTEC outcomes across the widest possible scale.

• iTEC General Assembly & Closing Conference, 26-27 May 2014
• Every Classroom a Future Classroom, Brussels, 10-11 October 2013

The iTEC project involves 15 Ministries of Education, and 27 organisations from across 18 countries, involved in every stage of the educational process. iTEC's project partners are working together to design and evaluate future classroom scenarios on a larger scale than any previous European project.

Lord Puttnam, Chancellor of the Open University, former Chair of the General Teaching Council for England, and award-winning film producer, gives his views on how emerging trends in technology will affect education, and what he envisions as the classroom of the future.
