  • Abstract
    This article focuses on the implementation of two pilot project for the introduction of ICT in Greek schools. These projects (introduction of IWB and COWs) are supposed to be the first steps of the implementation of "digital school" which is the government\´s strategy for ICT adoption in education. In the following, the key findings of the two projects are identified and improvements upon the selected process are discussed. Although there is insufficient evidence to identify the actual impact of these technologies upon learning due to limited time of their usage, the lessons learned from the managerial point of view are equally important.
