Abstract
Schools’ digital renewal is seen as a schools’ changes process (learning goals, educational environment, teaching/learning process, school management) have started several decades ago and continues today in the growing digital environment. Schools are moving along the path of the digital renewal at different paces and are located at different stages of the process. The digital renewal stages (computerization, early and late informatization, digital transformation) are considered as groups of the developmental states where each specific school is located in the digital renewal process. At each of these stages, school communities have a specific vision of the possible/desired future, which becomes a base for the creation and implementation of the development programs. It is recommended to take this fact into account in the development of recommendations for the creation of an “ideal school”, and to prepare several such descriptions that correspond to the peculiarities of the development of the school at the appropriate stage.
