E‐Learning Plans for digital development in classrooms.
New technologies are evolving at breakneck speed; therefore, it is important to design digital development plans in the classrooms that focus mainly on closing the digital divide ‐ equipping educational centres with the necessary infrastructure‐, promoting digital skills among teachers ‐specialised training to promote the use of ICT in the teaching/learning process ‐ and boosting the incorporation of the new generation of digital learning resources ‐such as Educational Computer Models, educational software catalogues, video games, etc. ‐
When analysing the information by regions, we can mention the case of Europe, where 73% of the cities have developed some type of plan. This figure contrasts with the regions of Africa and Latin America, where 20% and 29% of cities, respectively, have developed some sort of plan to promote new information and communication technologies in schools. In the case of Asia, the Taipei City also has a plan. Below are some digital development plans implemented by schools in some cities.
