frontrunners and a minimum level Which kind of pre-service education and
in-service training is necessary? Physical requirements at schools? Suggestions for relevant indicators
regarding the use of ICT in education? etc.

a Whole School Development environment Evident effect of Pedagogical ICT driver
licence Create conditions for teachers use of ICT and Have a vision, debate minimum performance,
and leave room for frontrunners Distance education in remote areas or in
small schools means more educ. options and can be combined with a social learning environment

8ELFE 1 observations 2
So far we have not seen any hard-core proofs that the use of ICT is increasing the quality of education
There is a feeling among teachers that the use of ICT contributes to strengthen the students ability to work in an independent way
A risk that the need to train oral skills is forgotten – written dimension increases workload
A risk of less opportunity to have direct face to face discussions in the classrooms
You do not need to loose the low performing students – but be aware not to do so
