The fifth basic skill in the subject Norwegian à«Being able to use digital tools in Norwegian is necessary to
master composite text forms and expressions.
This opens for new learning arenas and gives new opportunities in reading and writing instruction, in production and composition and editing of texts.
In this context it is important to develop the ability to be critical of sources and aware of copyright issues.
Using digital tools may also support and develop pupil communication skills and presentations.»

Real-world example, third graders àCompetency aim: undertake information searches, create,
store and retrieve texts using digital tools.àThe pupils will work with free writing, to promote writing as
a tool for expression. The theme is their pets.àThis is accomplished by writing on computers, starting with
mind-mapping of important concepts in their storiesàBy introducing the pupils to mind-mapping and word-
processing software, they are also practicing basic computer-handling skills like storing and retrieving files and formatting of text
àThe pupils are also using pictures in their stories, and are formatting their stories.

•We have to establish a good community for writing Wikis•Blogs are best for personal reflection and sharing•A lot of oral activity in classes is good•Regular intervals of reading is important - always to little time for litterature!
•Processoriented writing before midterm-test•Continous selfevaluation is important •Make a plan for assesment togheter with the pupils»

Why is iTEC different? ! Previous initiatives on designing the future classroom have often been too far removed from for the realities of everyday classroom practice and have failed to engage teachers and learners.
! Widespread take up of earlier future classroom scenarios has been hampered by a failure to acknowledge that the educational reform process in schools cannot move at the same rapid pace as technological developments.

How does it work? ! iTEC will produce meaningful pedagogical scenarios for the future classroom.
! From these, derive learning activities and new approaches to assessment that engage teachers, learners and stakeholders.
! In five project cycles, iTEC will then test and thoroughly evaluate these scenarios with schools in different countries.
! Research the skills and competences needed by teachers in the future classroom and equip teachers, both within and beyond the project, to implement project scenarios.
