Within the eWatch framework schools have presented themselves, showing
in real terms their use of ICT in their every day life. They have analyzed
their efforts, their successes and their failures in improving learning as
well as their approaches to managing teachers' and pupils' life within the
school. Part of such analysis can be seen in the "ICT how and where
documents" they have created which provide us with lively self-portraits
of today's educational world.
Among the peculiarities and
differences due to national culture and school organization as well as to
school type and level, some common roles and trends can be recognized,
that provide an outline of how a successful European school might be
organized in the future.
We have chosen not to examine the controversial topic of difference
concerning future European curriculae or school systems. School autonomy
and local variance may be on the increase in education, but this does not
exclude schools contributing to the further development of the common
European cultural, political and social framework. However , this is not
the focus of this study, we discuss school buldings, school communities,
every day schoolife, within the school organization.
In looking at the schools we have chosen just some examples among wide
variety of material sent to us. Some of this is presented in with images,
and some with URL links.
The full report of all the schools can
be found here
Let us enter then our "European school"
Do you see? There
are only four rooms: the staff
management room, the learning
environment, the specialist room and the services
room. Who is working there and what are they doing?
