| Abstract | Ireland is now at a critical junction as the IT2000 initiative draws to a close and the challenge facing us is to move the use of ICTs in the classroom onwards from the hands of those who have been termed the 'early adopters' to the 'late majority'. This paper is not a critical review of IT2000. Instead it argues that suff icient international research is now available to allow us to outline clear principles upon which future initiatives should be based. This paper is based on comparative international research on Best Practice and Innovation in Learning that was commissioned by the Lifelong Learning Group of Ireland’s Information Society Commission. We examined hundreds of different initiatives and selected those that embodied best practice to underpin our work. The full report is available on-line at www.isc.ie and looks at learning in not just the formal education system but also in the community and the workplace. We argue that ubiquitous learning technologies, such as the Internet and lightweight laptops, have a key role to play in a flexible, broadly constructivist, learning paradigm where the focus is on learning with technology, not learning about technology. |
