CreativeClassroomsLab project 04/04/2013 Rationale • Only at the beginning of understanding 1:1 pedagogical approaches • The 1:1 pedagogical paradigm is changing – rapid uptake of tablets and smart phones in the uptake of tablets and smart phones in the consumer market • USA - 600 school districts with iPad 1:1 computing initiatives in 2012 • IPTS/EUN study in 2012: 31 initiatives from 20 countries – 6 involving tablets 3 www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org
CreativeClassroomsLab project 04/04/2013 Creative Classrooms call for proposals • Actions will not address broad topics, but target concrete common policy concerns. Appropriate importance has to be given to developing a robust evidence base and involving reliable monitoring, evaluation and reporting procedures of the evaluation and reporting procedures of the multiple experimentations of ‘creative classrooms’ settings. • Actions aiming at analysing from a policy point of view the effectiveness, efficiency and conditions of generalisations of the experimentations… 4 www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org
CreativeClassroomsLab project 04/04/2013 The project in short • Supporting authorities in mainstreaming the use of tablets in their school educational policies and practices through policy experimentations with ‘Creative Classrooms’ ‘Creative Classrooms’ • EC funding – max. €800,000 over two years • 11 partners (9 MoE’s) and potentially 7 associated industry partners 5 www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

CreativeClassroomsLab project 04/04/2013 Rationale Increased interest of MoE in 1:1 Initiatives Understanding the 1:1 paradigm Collaboration with a variety of stakeholders Evidence on implementation, impact and upscaling 7 www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org
CreativeClassroomsLab project 04/04/2013 Objectives • Develop 1:1 tablet scenarios that can be mainstreamed during the project timeframe • Develop some ‘leading-edge’ scenarios to be validated in a smaller number of classrooms as a ‘proof of concept’ • Classroom pilots or “policy experimentations” in 45 classrooms in nine countries • Observe, document and report on innovative use of tablets • Draw lessons from these policy experimentations 8 www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org
CreativeClassroomsLab project 0404/2013 Methodology • Scenario development workshops • Classroom pilots • Observation of innovative practice • Dissemination (including videos) • • Mainstreaming and capacity development – Capacity building workshops for policy makers M2, M15, M24 – Develop a course on innovative use of tablets for teachers 9 www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org
