TRANSCRIPT
Technology is leading the world through rapid chages: globalization, knowledge society, participation in social
networks…
New basic skills are required to face the 21st century.
Today’s youth have new cognitive skills: they are the digital natives.
The school we all know, which was conceived for other times and students, faces one of its greatest transformation challenges.
Is Information Technology in Education the answer to this challenge? There is no concensus on the impact
digital technologies have on the students’ learning.
Despite that, new technologies invade everything, even schools, and are here to stay.
How do we harness them to improve the quality of education?
Can technology improve or add value to the processes which impact the quality of education?

Policy Purpose: An ITE policy must have a stated objective providing
coherence to actions taken, such as: Close the digital divide by providing technology literacy to all
students (and teachers) Enhance students’ motivation and participation (absenteeism
reduction, etc.) Improve teaching, leadership, management and decision
making. Improve students’ “economic viability” by improving some of
the skills related to future greater productivity at work. Expand learning opportunities, overcoming the geographical
constraints Improve students’ curricular learning as a consequence of
better classroom conditions and resources or as a consequence of a deep transformation in pedagogical models.
Develop new skills, the so-called students’ “basic 21st century skills”
Policies on Information Technology in Education are a fundamental part of each country’s education policies.
