MEDIA LITERACY IN
Italy
Cl@ss 2.0 - the most technologically advanced project in Italy so farThe initiative began in 2009 in 156 classrooms across Italy
The idea of project Cl@ss 2.0 is that students don’t have to visit a computer laboratory but instead each classroom becomes an informatic laboratory
Students are given the technology (computers, television, Internet connections) at their desks
The current overall geographical distribution of CLASSROOMS which participate in Cl@ss 2.0
This project has grown enormously since the start in 2009, but it is still only in less than 500 classrooms across the country

In total, less than 1% of Italian schools have the technological
resources needed to compete in a global environment
Major challenges without immediate solutions
in the Italian school system
Limited fundsVery restricted number of schools (13) are alloted money to invest in modern technology
Teachers’ resistanceThe average age of
Italian teachers is51
Improving skills and knowledge
is not recognized under
the Italian school system
No financial benefits or promotion opportunities
Recently the Italian government has
increased the retirement age from 62 to 66 extendible up to
70 which prevents younger teachers from
entering the classrooms
