\ud83c\udfa5 Behind the Scenes<\/strong> of the National Days of the Digital Educational Territories (TNE) in Poitiers, held on October 8th and 9th, 2024.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0On a daily basis in my classroom, the TNE initiative has allowed me to offer new pedagogical solutions and work with new digital resources. The TNE has provided new equipment that is fast, efficient, and appealing to students,\u00a0\u00bb says Beno\u00eet Hecht, ULIS teacher-coordinator at Jean Rostand Middle School in Neuville-de-Poitou, Vienne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Origins of the Initiative<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As Florence Biot, Deputy Director of Digital Transformation at the Digital Education Directorate, recalls, the idea of TNE was born during the Digital General Assembly, \u00ab\u00a0at a time when we were all in lockdown, to draw lessons from this very specific period of being ‘thrown into the deep end’ of digital technologies.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a completely different approach to digital development, as it is based on initiatives driven by local territories.
\u00ab\u00a0TNE are territorial demonstrators for the use of digital technology in schools, from kindergarten to high school, and for the adoption of digital tools by teachers, students, educational teams, and parents,\u00a0\u00bb explains Mireille Brang\u00e9, National Coordinator of the Education and Digital Strategy at the General Secretariat for Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Digital Educational Territories (TNE)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The TNE initiative is a public policy implemented initially in two pilot departments\u2014Aisne and Val d\u2019Oise\u2014in 2020, followed by ten additional departments joining the program in 2021. It is funded for a duration of four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0These are territorial demonstrators, in real conditions, of a public policy shared between academic services and local authorities,\u00a0\u00bb explains Mireille Brang\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program’s implementation varies across territories, as demonstrated by some of the testimonials we gathered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0In our area, we focused on students with special needs. We worked to provide them with the necessary equipment to help them develop their skills, whether within the ULIS program, for traveling children, or non-native speakers,\u00a0\u00bb describes Philippe Alverny, National Education Inspector in Val d\u2019Oise, under the Versailles Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration at the Core of TNE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For TNE to succeed, it is essential to have stakeholders \u00ab\u00a0working together in alliance,\u00a0\u00bb emphasizes Florence Biot. These key stakeholders include local authorities, \u00ab\u00a0who have committed themselves and, in some cases, agreed to take the lead,\u00a0\u00bb she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
