Impact, innovation and results

Impact

It is an accessible school website for a quality school. We still have to work a lot, both technically and in contents, to reach the total interactivity with our users.

Innovation:
Our site is included in the best school web sites in Italy, within the ministerial Project named "Scuola e Servizi": (http://www.scuolaeservizi.it/siti_eccellenza.htm). It's a good practice for Italian schools.
In our Institut, teachers use ICT. Students and their teacher have got a blog named "Oltre l'Ora di Religione" (http://blog.scuolaer.it/IRCplus) that is included in GOLD of Indire, the best Italian school practices (http://gold.indire.it/nazionale/archivio/index.php?action=read_esperienza&id_esperienza=BDP-GOLD00000000001FBBF6).

Lessons learnt

Lesson 1 - A quality school must have an accessible school web site.

Lesson 2 - A school site must be a place to visit and to share.

Lesson 3 - Best school practices motivate operators and users.
