e-learning possa aumentare la motivazione dei discenti. L’uso delle TIC è diffuso anche nelle scuole primarie e nei centri di educazione permanente che si occupano dell’educazione degli adulti,istituendo corsi per l’apprendimento delle tecnologie digitali e che usano le ICT per l’insegnamento disciplinare e per l’integrazione delle fasce più deboli. Il Liceo “Banfi” si è proposto come centro di raccordo perché crede profondamente nella cooperazione,nel confronto e nel dialogo tra popoli di diverse regioni europee. Lo scambio di esperienze,in ambito tecnologico,migliorerà le buone pratiche già in uso e si costituirà un importante network.
