General of the <strong>European</strong> <strong>School</strong>s, <strong>Brussels</strong>.<br />

This article concerns the adoption of state of the art technology at the <strong>European</strong> schools in two differentiated<br />

areas: school administration and the pedagogical use of ICT for teaching and learning. In order<br />

to envisage the future evolution for the coming years, some recent technology trends are described,<br />

analyzing the impact that those trends will have in our schools.<br />

Dieser Artikel zeigt den Stand der Kunst der Übernahme von Technologie an den Europäischen<br />

Schulen in zwei getrennte Bereiche: Schulverwaltung und pädagogische Nutzung der IKT für das<br />

Lehren und Lernen. Um die zukünftige Entwicklung für die kommenden Jahre zu sehen, sind einige<br />

aktuelle Technologie-Trends beschrieben und analysiert die Auswirkungen, die diese Trends in unseren<br />

Cet article montre l'adoption de la technologie la plus pointue dans les Ecoles européennes dans deux<br />

domaines différenciés: l'administration scolaire et l'utilisation pédagogique des TIC pour l'enseignement et<br />

l'apprentissage. Afin de voir l'évolution à venir pour les prochaines années, certaines dernières tendances<br />

technologiques sont décrites, en analysant l'impact que ces tendances vont avoir dans nos écoles.<br />

New information and communications technologies (ICT) are seen as enablers of innovation,<br />

productivity, efficiency and economic growth in all sectors of the Economy.<br />

Because their effective use enables the requirements of the world of work to be met, but also because<br />

higher education uses so-called new technologies, the <strong>European</strong> <strong>School</strong>s regard ICT as a basic skill to<br />

be acquired by their pupils and to be used by their teaching and administrative staff.<br />
