ITEC - Innovative technologies for an engaging classroom

Abstract

iTEC (Innovative Technologies for an Engaging Classroom) is a four year-project which aims to bring together researchers, technology vendors, policymakers and innovative teachers in order to design and build learning and teaching scenarios for the future classroom in Europe. iTEC involves 27 project partners, including 14 Ministries of Education (MoE), and is funded by 9.45 million Euros from the European Commission's FP7 programme. The key aim is to develop engaging scenarios that can be validated in large-scale pilots and subsequently be taken to scale. More than 1000 school pilots, with emphasis on science and maths in secondary schools, will be delivered in the project period running from September 2010 to August 2014. European Schoolnet (EUN) manages the project through 11 work packages and national pedagogical and technical coordinators. The Norwegian Centre for ICT in Education (NCIE) coordinates iTEC in Norway, and will deliver 80 school pilots. © 2012 Universitetsforlaget.
