This article presents three cases from the Norwegian national project "Learning
Networks" to illustrate the challenges met by teachers trying to implement educational technology
in their teaching. The Knowledge Promotion (K06) is a national curriculum reform. The goal of
this reform is to help all students to develop fundamental skills that will enable them to participate
actively in our society of knowledge, including the ability to make use of information and
communication technology. This basic skill has been incorporated into all subject syllabuses
through year 6-18. The analysis of the cases is carried out within a single theoretical framework;
TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge), which brings to light the interaction
between three central knowledge areas for the teacher: content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge
and technological knowledge. Experiences from Learning Networks show that a successful
implementation of the Knowledge Promotion requires technological pedagogical content
knowledge in all areas of the educational system.
