Une étude comparative de l'apprentissage du code à l'école dans les différents pays d'Europe

Olivier Baggiano's curator insight, October 21, 2015 6:02 AM
From my own experience, you never know when your knowledge of coding will be useful, but you know it will one day. The earlier we familiarise ourselves with it, the better (no need to go over board though).

A new, more inclusive vision of education and training up to 2020

Brussels, 1 September 2015

A draft joint report by the Commission published today calls for strengthening cooperation in education and training up to 2020 and especially to promote social inclusion.

The Commission is today proposing to strengthen cooperation at European level in the field of education and training up to 2020. Its draft of a joint report by the Commission and Member States published today calls for making European education and training systems more socially inclusive, as part of the wider efforts to tackle radicalisation following the 2015 attacks in Paris and Copenhagen.
The report proposes a sharper policy focus to better address the most pressing challenges facing our society. The six new priorities identified in the report include improving people's skills and employment prospects and creating open, innovative and digital learning environments, while at the same time cultivating fundamental values of equality, non-discrimination and active citizenship.

IT skills learnt today will be extremely useful as 90% of all jobs need basic digital and ICT skills. New roles have appeared such as digital designer, application developer or data analyst. Meanwhile, traditional jobs also increasingly require digital skills. Reasoning skills such as problem-solving are now used in combination with ICT skills. These skills are essential for the process of job searching and to collect useful information about training, education and job vacancies.

Once you have got basic digital skills such as creating and adapting folders, printing or changing a password, don’t stop, move forward. These are some of the main skills in demand worldwide

The School IT Administrator | Europe | ICT | eSkills

14/07/2015

European Schoolnet and Cisco release the first ever report exploring the context, duties, challenges and training needs of ICT Administrators in schools. This report is intended to raise awareness of the challenges and needs of this community of school IT Administrators, and to initiate a dialogue amongst public and private sector organizations to find solutions.


Across Europe, and for many years now, governments, significant investments in ICT connectivity, equipment and services in order to make digital age teaching and learning a reality for young people, and to equip them with the competences needed to thrive in the 21st century. The people in schools who are responsible for maintaining and upgrading the technological infrastructure occupy an increasingly vital role in ensuring that this investment pays dividends, and deserve support to fulfill this mission.

An IT Administrator – in some countries known as the network manager, systems coordinator or IT manager – is the person in the school who oversees the technical development and implementation of IT, for example administering the network, managing devices in the school, addressing security issues and providing technical support to teachers. It is distinct from the ICT coordinator or e-learning manager who has a more  pedagogical role.
 

That is why European Schoolnet has worked in partnership with Cisco- with its experience in the Cisco Networking Academy Program - to explore the context, duties, challenges and training needs of IT Administrators in schools.

HOW CAN POLICY-MAKERS SUPPORT TEACHERS IN DEVELOPING THEIR TECHNOLOGY- ENHANCED TEACHING COMPETENCE?
 Two-thirds of teachers in the European Union learn about ICT in their own time, and almost all are positive about the impact of ICT on students, according to the Survey in schools: ICT and education (2013).

However, despite this readiness, many teachers in Europe still have a lack of competence in using ICT in their teaching and use it only to a small extent in their classrooms.

The rise of Lithuania as a force in IT: Why Google and Nasdaq are investing here | eLeadership | ICT

The rise of Lithuania as a force in IT: Why Google and Nasdaq are investing here | eLeadership | ICT | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Lithuania's ICT sector is evolving, full steam ahead. An increasing number of companies have arrived in the country, drawn by its infrastructure, people, and business-friendly mindset. With some of the fastest and most affordable internet connections in Europe and a tech-savvy population ranking 16th in the world for ICT skills, Lithuania has recently attracted giants such as Google, exchange group Nasdaq, and AIG to set up shop.


The country hosts 13 of the 20 largest IT companies in the Baltic States, while local estimates predict IT, laser technologies, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and materials science will account for 25 percent of the country's GDP this year, and 80 percent of the country's exports.


Lithuania's economy grew by 2.9 percent in 2014 and is expected to experience a 3.6 percent increase in 2015, consultantcy EY estimates. What's more, in January this year, Lithuania become part of the Eurozone.
