The teachers utilized a set of art interactive content tools, for the use of which no-special requirements were essential, only a modern Web Browser (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.). The Platform was developed in HTML5 technologies and PHP, so any kind of additional software was not needed. Google Maps, interactive videos, interactive images, chronologies, digital interactive presentations, active areas, etc. were ready to use.

24. Music Teachers Opinion (A pilot study)
At the beginning of academic year (two weeks).
Aim: 1) to identify the opinion of music teachers about the digital teaching scenarios
2) To urge to discover these scenarios for music education
3) To explore their intention to integrate them in their music lessons.

25. Results
There are not many ICT facilities at schools. However, all tried hard to do their best, in order to incorporate technology as much as possible in their lessons. Only one teacher sometimes had the chance to use the school Computer Laboratory.
All teachers indicated that their contents were clear and concrete since they can broaden teachers’ ideas facilitating music learning.
Apart from the classroom integration by teachers, these scenarios could be used by students as supplementary educational material meeting their own needs and preferences.
The teaching time was very restricted and expressed their doubt if they could follow all of the steps.
Their first aspect was positive and they were willing to integrate them in their classroom.

26. Conclusions
Digital teaching scenarios are a valuable and useful tool in order to enrich the educational acts and encourage music teachers to incorporate technology into their teaching
Nowadays, the teacher’s role has become even more challenging and difficult, which means that it necessitates the development of new and innovative teaching pedagogies
In such contexts, music teachers ought to take into consideration the benefits of technology use, as technological tools teach organizational skills, strategies and abstract thinking (Cain, 2002).

27. Funding
The development of digital teaching scenarios was funded by the Greek Ministry of Education and Religion, Institute of Educational Policy and European Union.

28. Questions:
Does the Educational Policy support ICT activities in practice?
Is there similar supplementary educational material for music education in your country?
What is the opinion of music teachers or/and students about ICT integration in music learning and teaching?
How are the ICT facilities in schools in your country?
