20. In other words…
Why scale ? Why sustainability?
Lots of small-scale, innovative projects but with little
systemic impact, often not continued beyond pilot or
funding schemes, without any scientific evaluation
on outcomes, effectiveness and efficiency.
22. What do we mean with scale? Sustainability?
• NOT just about replication or duplication of successful initiatives
• NOT just about going from small numbers to big numbers
• NOT about imposing one (pedagogical) model that is fit for all
• NOT about providing devices to students and then business as usual
• IS about innovative practice that meets the requirement of digital society and economy
• IS about impact and systemic change (that is cost-effective)
• IS about what works and what does not work (implementation)
• IS about a flexible, dynamic, context-specific model with local autonomy and shared
ownership
23. Five key dimensions for scaling up educational innovation
Clarke and Dede (2009), building on
the model by Coburn (2003)
http://bit.ly/DedeScalingUp
http://www.microsoft.com/education/demos/scale/index.html
1. Depth — change in teaching and learning practices (quality of the innovation)
2. Sustainability — the extent to which the innovation is maintained in ongoing use
3. Spread — the extent to which greater numbers of people adopt the innovation
(outwards and inwards)
4. Shift — decentralization of ownership, knowledge and authority (from external actors
to internal ones)
5. Evolution — revise and adapt the innovation as an organic process, which is a product
of depth, spread and shift
24. Need for an holistic
approach and changes
at system level.
Innovative pedagogy at
the centre.

• Conditions for scaling-up:
• Networking small networks of teachers / actors (5-10)
39. Singapore’s Master plan for ICT in Education

42. Cross-cutting issues
• Importance of vision, strategy, longer term planning,
stakeholder involvement and shared ownership
• Links between research, policy and practitioners
• Teacher training and support
• Pedagogy first
• Clarify 21st century skills and their assessment
• Evolving over time – organic growth & combination of
top-down and bottom-up, centralised and
decentralised
• Monitoring and evaluation
50. • High scale – low participation treshold
• The more innovative – the more difficult to scale

53. Recommendation 1
Invest significantly in updating Continuous Professional
Development provisions (including the education of teacher
educators) to ensure that in-service teachers acquire the key
competences required for fostering and orchestrating learning
instead of transmitting knowledge.
Recommendation 2
Support and motivate teachers to develop and update their digital
competence and ICT skills (e.g. through in-service training, peerlearning and informal and non-formal learning), as life-long
learners themselves.
Recommendation 3
Ensure that all learners have equal and ubiquitous ICT access, in
54. Recommendation 4
Enable teachers to develop their ability to adopt and adapt
innovative pedagogical practices (e.g. formative assessment) for
diverse learning settings and purposes.
Recommendation 5
Support knowledge exchange (e.g. participation in conferences
and workshops) to gain a further understanding of how innovative
practices are made possible by the use of ICT.
Recommendation 6
Create organisational structures (e.g. formal recognition and
informal reputation mechanisms, technical support, pedagogical
advice, etc.) to support and motivate teachers to participate in
professional networks, disseminating pedagogical innovation.
55. Recommendation 7
Recognizing the role of teachers as agents of change (no objects of
change) and encouraging them to take the ownership of innovation).
Recommendation 8
Update Initial Teacher Training (including candidate admission process)
to ensure that prospective teachers acquire the key competences
required for their role as agents of change.
Recommendation 9
Encourage the development of a "culture of innovation" at system
level, removing the fear of change and supporting decision
makers, teachers, and other stakeholders when taking sensible risks and
trying new things.
Recommendation 10
Encourage research on the implementation process of ICT-enabled

Encourage many ideas from many sources.Don't interfere with promising developments in their early stages.OriginLet a thousand flowers bloom is a common misquotation of Chairman Mao Zedong's "Let a hundred flowers blossom". This slogan was used during the period of approximately six weeks in the summer of 1957 when the Chinese intelligentsia were invited to criticize the political system then obtaining in Communist China.The full quotation, taken from a speech of Mao's in Peking in February 1957, is:"Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting progress in the arts and the sciences and a flourishing socialist culture in our land." It is sometimes suggested that the initiative was a deliberate attempt to flush out dissidents by encouraging them to show themselves as critical of the regime. Whether or not it was a deliberate trap isn't clear but it is the case that many of those who put forward views that were unwelcome to Mao were executed.

The application of the IPTS mapping framework to the case of 1:1 learning in Europe (implemented in multi-faceted educational settings) showed the current state of development and the emerging trends regarding the nature, the reach, the target groups and the impact of 1:1 innovation in learning. As the case of 1:1 learning initiatives in Europe consists of several existing undertakings rather than a single action, the mean reach and impact of all initia- tives are illustrated in Figure 3 and discussed below. Regarding the nature of innovation, 1:1 learning strategies in Europe can be considered as mostly incremental. There is a need to progressively move the focus away from the devices and infrastructure to the learners and to 1:1 pedagogies. As to the implementation, about half of the 1:1 initiatives reach a significant scale, involving a large number of students (e.g. 180,000 in Norway and 113,226 in Greece) and moving towards mainstreaming (e.g. 600,000 students in Por- tugal, 634,549 in Spain and 15,000,000 in Turkey). The access level reflects as well this emerging trend, with more than half of the initiatives embedded in national strategies. Main impact area of such 1:1 initiatives is at service level, addressing key aspects related to the provision of equipment to schools and the development of infrastructures both inside and outside schools. The main ben- eficiaries (target) of 1:1 initiatives are the students and teachers, who received laptops and netbooks in most cases, and in some cases, tablets. In order to make the mainstreaming of initiatives both sustainable and effective a more active involvement of key stakeholders, such as parents, researchers and industry, is required.
This report presents a set of policy recommendations developed through a mixed-research approach involving around 300 educational stakeholders.Almost 150 educational stakeholders from 22 European countries and from some of non-EU countries evaluated 60 policy recommendations for further developing and mainstreaming ICT enabled innovation for learning in Europe
