iTEC – second cycle • Participants: ~400 teachers (and their classes) • 15 countries • 14 teachers from France • 3 learning stories • 298 evaluation questionnaires iTEC - Designing the future classroom
Preliminary results • The most implemented learning story: • Students creating science resources (71% of the classes) • Embedding exam preparation in learning activities (23%) • Mathematics in a multicultural setting (6%) • Easy to adapt with no help from others (70%) • Should be made widely available (59%) iTEC - Designing the future classroom

Conclusions • In the hands of a confident teacher, iTEC scenarios allow for new ways of learning in the classroom • Students benefit from authentic learning goals, not using technology “per se” • “Functional view” of ICT in education iTEC - Designing the future classroom
How should we prepare the teachers for the classroom of 2025? • An open question… • Develop teachers skills and self-confidence • Reinforce expertise • Identify core skills to be developed • Train teachers on research-based methods iTEC - Designing the future classroom
