Inclusive education

Since inclusion requires new approaches to teaching and learning (Lacey, 2006) as
well as the use of valuable, new, suitable and barrier-free tools it’s fundamental to give teachers appropriate advice and support to face this challenge.

The basic idea underpinning the two projects is, in fact, that the process of inclusion can be fostered by means of new technological tools: it requires, in turn, changes and modifications in educational contents, approaches, structures and strategies.

Teachers play a key role at these ends: innovation cannot cross the school's threshold without their deep and active involvement and the educational effectiveness of any technological means mainly depends on the choices they make (Moseley et al, 1999); in order to take a significant step forward, e-tools need to be carefully selected and their use needs to be appropriately planned and conceptually well integrated in mainstream activities.(p.9)
