Abstract
This paper briefly sketches Italian public policy in promoting the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in school education (primary and secondary level). It tries to identify aspects that appear to be supporting the development of pedagogically ‘sound’ approaches to technology, enhanced teaching and learning, as well as some of the problems that are in evidence.
