Abstract
In this chapter we describe a range of digital technology implementation projects that have been undertaken at a national scale in different parts of the world. These projects vary widely in breadth, in the digital technologies involved, in their relation to mandated curriculum and in their involvement of different stakeholders. We compare these different projects with a view to identify some significant trends that are currently developing in such efforts, and also with a view of guiding future large-scale implementation work. We also analyse the projects in terms of relevant theories of technology use in mathematics education.
