Innovative Technologies for an Engaging Classroom
“With 27 project partners, including 14
Ministries of Education, iTEC will provide
a model describing how the deployment
of technology in support of innovative
teaching and learning activities can move
beyond small scale pilots and become
embedded in all Europe’s schools.”
The iTEC Approach
Create scenarios that support advanced
pedagogical approaches and derive
activities from them.
Pilot and evaluate to confirm they promote
positive innovation.

The iTEC Project
provides teachers
with inspiration in
how to make use of
technology in
innovative and
pedagogically
advanced ways,
compared to current
practice.
