Introducing new policy, goals, pedagogy or methodological ideas in the school context nearly always has consequences for how school and schoolwork is organised. Changes in one element in the school structure have effects on almost all the others. When it comes to the introduction of new technology, this definitely has an impact on organisational issues. The scenario we work in at school can be illustrated as in the figure below. Technology or other aspects of the physical environment, pedagogy, policy and goals are interlinked phenomena. What happens in the interplay between them is to a large extent dependent on traditions and values, defined in the illustration below as “culture”. The local culture sets a framework for what does or does not happen when changes are expected to take place.
