Abstract
The projects named “The Children of the Future I and II” are research and development projects concerning children and information technology. The first project began in the autumn of 1990 in the University College of Falun/Borlänge. Tommy Isaksson, now at Umeå University, is the project leader and Björn Flising, at the University of Gothenburg is responsible for the evaluation. The first project included members from thirteen municipalities throughout Sweden and today twenty schools, pre-schools and after-school care centres participate. Since 1993 our department has been closely connected with the project through one class and one after-school care centre, both part of a lower primary school near Umeå in northern Sweden. Apart from Lisbeth Appelberg and Göran Nilsson, students in some undergraduate programmes at our department are also involved in the project when on practice for a period of weeks in the school. Based on the experiences of the project we have created a distance-learning course concerning information technology and learning in which the participants are, among others, teachers, pre-school teachers and recreation leaders involved in the project.
