Abstract
There is a growing spirit of innovation in school design and planning worldwide. Information technology introduced into schools promotes individual learning and a closer link with the community. More schools tend to introduce new learning methods such as interdisciplinary, hands-on, and self-learning. The establishment of networking between school and community also depends on information technology (IT). Satellite schools, home schooling, and off-campus learning at various sites are increasing in popularity. According to my current research, these trends are seen not only in Japan but also in the USA and several European countries (Yanagisawa, 2006a). From the viewpoint of IT application and individual learning, there are necessary conditions for IT schools.
