7. Estonian National Lifelong Learning Strategy 2014 – 2020: rationale
“Use of ICT” model, based on computer labs, has reached its limits
PPT/IWB is not enough, does not change learning
E-learning (Moodle) model did not take off, does not suit primary and secondary schools
No good ideas for e-textbook model in current settings (1 computer lab per school)
Ergo: learning in the digital age, 1:1 and BYOD model, digital learning ecosystem

8. Strategy for Lifelong Learning 2020: action plan for Digital Turn in Estonian schools
Digital turn in formal education system: digital culture into curricula, bottom-up innovation, sharing good practice, educational technologists in schools
Digital learning resources: digital textbooks, OER, quality management, recommender systems
Digital infrastructure for learning : 1:1 computing, BYOD, interoperable ecosystem of services, mobile clients, school-wide digital turn (first in 20 pilot schools, then in others)
Digital competences of teachers and students: competence models, self-assessment tools, mapping with course offerings and accreditation procedures, updating initial teacher education curricula

9. Experiences from Samsung Digital Turn project 2014-2015
Whole-school digital turn: focus on change management and pedagogical innovation (Fullan)
Every school found their own focus (20 schools)
Learners as creators: Kahoot, Geocaching, Digital storytelling, learner-created textbooks
Systemic and sustainable change: formative assessment with e-portfolios, 3D-modeling
Leadership: digital language immersion, regional lead
Digital maturity self-assessment tool, peer-assessment between schools
