Introducing technology into school can be done in two different ways: as an everyday practice or as a break into the school’s routine, a special event “disrupting” the normal course of events. Both ways make sense: while a full integration of technology into the classroom is an explicit goal of all school systems around the world that no doubt will take place as a result of technology diffusion processes, special technology-based projects generate enthusiasm and push forward innovation, paving the ground for future changes. The paper introduces three case-studies: two of technology as “special event” at school, and one of technology embedded into everyday practice. The final discussion will highlight pros and cons of both approaches.

Abstract
Introducing technology into school can be done in two different ways: as an everyday practice or as a break into the school’s routine, a special event “disrupting” the normal course of events. Both ways make sense: while a full integration of technology into the classroom is an explicit goal of all school systems around the world that no doubt will take place as a result of technology diffusion processes, special technology-based projects generate enthusiasm and push forward innovation, paving the ground for future changes. The paper introduces three case-studies: two of technology as “special event” at school, and one of technology embedded into everyday practice. The final discussion will highlight pros and cons of both approaches.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
