Abstract
The following paper provides an introduction to the challenges and obstacles to TEL (Technology Enhanced Learning) adoption in the context of the Italian school system and subsequently presents an overview of the Riconnessioni project: a 3-year initiative to innovate Turin’s primary and lower-secondary school system through an increase in TEL adoption and use enabled by state of the art infrastructure and a citywide teacher training programme. The lessons learned from the Riconnessioni project shed light on some of the obstacles preventing widespread adoption of TEL and, on the other hand, strategies than can ensure teacher motivation and engagement in TEL.
