Estonian National Lifelong Learning Strategy 2014 – 2020: rationale
• “Use of ICT” model, based on computer labs, has reached its limits
• PPT/IWB is not enough, does not change learning• E-learning (Moodle) model did not take off, does
not suit primary and secondary schools• No good ideas for e-textbook model in current
settings (1 computer lab per school)• Ergo: learning in the digital age, 1:1 and BYOD
model, digital learning ecosystem
Strategy for Lifelong Learning 2020: action plan for Digital Turn in Estonian schools
• Digital turn in formal education system: digital culture into curricula, bottom-up innovation, sharing good practice, educational technologists in schools
• Digital learning resources: digital textbooks, OER, quality management, recommender systems
• Digital infrastructure for learning : 1:1 computing, BYOD, interoperable ecosystem of services, mobile clients, school-wide digital turn (first in 20 pilot schools, then in others)
• Digital competences of teachers and students: competence models, self-assessment tools, mapping with course offerings and accreditation procedures, updating initial teacher education curricula

Experiences from Samsung Digital Turn project 2014-2015
• Whole-school digital turn: focus on change management and pedagogical innovation (Fullan)
• Every school found their own focus (20 schools)– Learners as creators: Kahoot, Geocaching, Digital
storytelling, learner-created textbooks– Systemic and sustainable change: formative
assessment with e-portfolios, 3D-modeling– Leadership: digital language immersion, regional lead
• Digital maturity self-assessment tool, peer-assessment between schools
