Innovative Pedagogical Practices in Technology-Enhanced Education – Finnish Perspective - Marja Kankaanranta, eFinland
.... Finland has a rather long history of ICT use across the curriculum. The education policy in coordinated with the national vision of an information society. During the 1990s the Finnish strategy was to develop ICT in education as part of its policy of building a Finnish information society. This meant a nationwide effort to create possibilities for ICT to meet the diverse needs of people at different ages. In 1995, the government produced a position paper outlining its Information Society strategy of providing every citizen with opportunities to acquire the skills they will need to access the information mediated by new technology. It is thus clear that one of the priorities for using ICT is to improve the equity of access to information and to education that is essential to that access. The Finnish Ministry of Education has developed the national ICT policy for education through a series of information strategies, the latest being the three-year strategy ‘Information Society Program for Education, Training and Research 2004-2006’.
