ICTs IMPLEMENTATION
WHICH WAS THE REACTION OF THE TEACHERS TOWARDS THE ICTs IMPLEMENTATION?
An interview to Miquel Artigas, Pere Camprubí, Fina Madrid and Imma Zaera
CONCLUSIONS FROM THE INTERVIEW:
TEACHERS DO NOT USE THE COMPUTER AS A MAIN TOOL
IT IS BETTER TO COMBINE DIGITAL BOOKS AND PAPER BOOKS
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW IF THE STUDENTS’ MARKS HAVE IMPROVED
FINAL CONCLUSIONS
It was a long and ambitious project.
I have searched for many resources for students.
The research can be extended and deviated into new topics.
