| Resumen: | The main purpose of this paper is to present, in summary form, the process by which ICT are integrated and used in Latin American schools, taking an approach that has two distinctive traits. First, it views ICT as instruments for addressing the needs of the region's education systems. The point here is ICT for education and for development: ICT are not an end in themselves.
The paper is organized as follows. The first section summarizes the educational scenario in the region, with particular reference to the challenges present in this sphere. This is followed by a survey of the state of the art ? the findings from research and the principal topics of discussion? with respect to the contribution that ICT have made in addressing challenges relating to the quality, effectiveness and equity of education. The third section looks at the current status of ICT in terms of education policies and strategies. This is followed by an analysis of educational progress with ICT, based on a model that distinguishes access, use, appropriation and outcomes. The paper concludes with some suggestions for making more effective use of ICT in education. |
