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
CreativeClassroomsLab project 04/04/2013
www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org
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

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
CreativeClassroomsLab project 04/04/2013
www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org
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
- f generalisations of the experimentations…

The project in short
- Supporting authorities in mainstreaming the use
- f 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

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’
CreativeClassroomsLab project 04/04/2013
www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org
- 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
