The ICTs in Schoolâs Everyday Life Project is a national project carried out by the Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Ministry of Education and the Finnish Board of Education in co-operation with industry and commerce. The project was included in the Finnish government programme and National Information Society Policy of Finland. The aim of the project was to create a national educational technology plan and the vision was that Finnish schools would have practical models and innovative teaching practices for using ICT in all Finnish schools. The project aimed to produce new knowledge and know-how for schools and educational administrators about the latest developments in ICTs, but more importantly to develop the educational use of ICT in multi-dimensional ways. A new Finnish core curriculum reform process for basic education started in 2012 and the final documents were published at the end of 2014. The new curriculum emphasizes 21st century skills, like critical and creative thinking skills and collaborative modes of studying. ICT is seen having an important role in supporting and developing these skills. It is useful tool, which also can expand learning environments and diversify methods of working.

This chapter presents some of the background knowledge and strategic guidelines contained in the National Educational Technology Plan and Finnish National Core Curriculum and discusses their implications in schoolsâ everyday lives.
