• Give the true meaning of the introduction of ICT within the education by explaining goals or objectives.

The fundamental aim is not mastering empowering technologies to improve pupil performance, but the evolution of our values in a new world.

After the printing house of the XVIth century and the republican school of the XIXth century, we are again faced with the opportunity to transform pupils' education (contacts with someone else, access to knowledge, understanding of the world, reflection on the sense of citizenship, all will be profoundly changed.

This goals go beyond school. They also concern families and the general public. Our strategy therefore is to :

• Determine a clear and understandable objective for all citizens.

The main goal is to achieve within 3 years fully embedded use of information technologies, that is to say, more than 50 % usage rate.

Although teachers make extensive use of new technologies for personal purposes, they use them less in classrooms. This discrepancy is about the same in most European countries.
A figure of 20% use probably represents the limit of the experimental phase of ICT in schools. It was a period when pioneers, volunteers and resourceful teachers were willing to innovate.

The challenge now is to make the major qualitative step of widespread adoption, no longer to win over a few already convinced teachers.

• Explain the means we need for innovation transfer to the majority

Pedagogical usages are the key

Equipment and confident use of tools will soon be achieved, even though significant inequalities still exist . The government and local authorities working with fellow citizens have contributed to this achievement.

But pedagogical uses are low for many reasons.

Support for teachers is weak; we lack specific content, pedagogical scenarios are missing and lots of teachers are unaware of those resources we already have.

Solving these problems calls for strategic planning.
The action plan has to be seen as a full project.
