You may want to check out CoSN (the association of school district technology leaders) new report on Portugal - Reinventing Learning in Portugal: An Ecosystem Approach http://cosn.org/portugal-international-delegation-report
The report explores how the European country has transformed education and society through technology investments and provides delegates’ first-hand accounts and lessons learned throughout the weeklong trip.
Key takeaways:
Policies and strategies promoting ICT use in schools and at home are integrated into a larger economic and social vision for change in Portugal.
Portugal adopted a comprehensive approach to transforming education by using ICT as a catalyst. This approach included hardware, software, teacher training, curriculum development and digital content in a holistic approach.
The Portuguese thought in terms of an ecosystem. Public-private partnerships are foundational to this strategy and key to the success of the Portugal program, particularly for long-term sustainability.
Kathy Hurley from the Pearson Foundation was on the delegation and can share additional details.
