Our school has just been renovated and we have access to modern ICT technology. At the moment, the
challenge is how teachers and students can take advantage of ICT tools for learning as much as possible.

Teachers and pupils are very different levels of ability. Everyone should have some kind of basic skills in a
variety of ICT tools. Teachers are, however, in particular class of devices, such as the active table, pedagogical
exploitation. Also, for example, the Internet, social media and a variety of learning environments (Moodle) will
be limited.

The students are pretty well-equipped with ICT . Almost everyone has access to a computer and Internet use
at home, and most also have access to a mobile device (phone), which allows the Internet and social media
use on the go.
Our school is on an open wireless network, which is also the students' use.

media in teaching. The aim is that the end of the project also learning management systems are still in use.
