  • Rapid technological transformations have created immense pressure on governments, schools, and other educational institutions to integrate technology into education. But, little is known about what is needed for technology projects to be integrated successfully into Latin American schools. Learning from the Pioneers is an investigation into the best practices of the Red TELAR-iEARN that enables us to identify the key factors that helped certain schools to be successful despite the challenges of being in poor neighbourhoods and in areas far from the urban centers. The results include recommendations on the factors that should be considered in future educational technology projects. One conclusion is that teachers have a decisive role to play in bridging the digital divide.
