Education and Technology

The Manifest 2010

I intend to publish a new educational manifest in 2010. The new manifest will not be a simple update of the manifest 2000, it will be something completely new - so stay tuned...

Update - May 2010: The new manifest is almost complete and will be published in the second half of 2010!

The Manifest 2000

This is the manifest I originally published in 2000. It lead to the development of the OLEFA software and thus greatly influenced the way school websites and classroom computers are used in schools in Luxembourg today.

1. Use the computer as a real tool in your classroom
2. Use the school website as a work and publishing platform
3. All students and all teachers should be able to participate and contribute
4. Support team and group work via internet and share your data
5. Build and expand knowledge using Wikis
6. Act & react, use your school website as a collaboration and communication platform
7. Security and SSO - each teacher and each student has his/her own password
8. Prevent data loss by offering automated backup mechanisms
9. Offer a web based school library as a centre of knowledge
10. Use modern infrastructures to reduce your administration time and costs
