As ever, Europe is trailing in the implementation of an important technology, according to a communication from the European Commission last week, which sets out an agenda for stimulating novel approaches to teaching and learning, using new technologies and digital content to deliver high quality education. Digital technologies are not being exploited in education and training systems across Europe, says the communication, ‘Opening up Learning’. A recent study found that only 37 per cent of nine year-olds study at “highly digitally-equipped schools” and only 20 – 25 per cent are taught by “digitally confident” teachers, with most teachers using ICT to prepare, rather than as a means to work with students during lessons.
