INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGIES IN EDUCATION
IFIP -The International Federation for Information Processing
IFIP was founded in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO, following the First World
Computer Congress held in Paris the previous year. An umbrella organization for societies
working in information processing, IFIP's aim is two-fold: to support information
processing within its member countries and to encourage technology transfer to developing
nations. As its mission statement clearly states,
IFIP's mission is to be the leading, truly international, apolitical organization which
encourages and assists in the development, exploitation and application of information
technology for the benefit of all people.
IFIP is a non-profitmaking organization, run almost solely by 2500 volunteers. It operates
through a number of technical committees, which organize events and publications. IFIP's
events range from an international congress to local seminars, but the most important are:
• The IFIP World Computer Congress, held every second year;
• open conferences;
• working conferences.
The flagship event is the IFIP World Computer Congress, at which both invited and
contributed papers are presented. Contributed papers are rigorously refereed and the
rejection rate is high.
As with the Congress, participation in the open conferences is open to all and papers may
be invited or submitted. Again, submitted papers are stringently refereed.
The working conferences are structured differently. They are usually run by a working
group and attendance is small and by invitation only. Their purpose is to create an
atmosphere conducive to innovation and development. Refereeing is less rigorous and
papers are subjected to extensive group discussion.
Publications arising from IFIP events vary. The papers presented at the IFIP World
Computer Congress and at open conferences are published as conference proceedings, while
the results of the working conferences are often published as collections of selected and
edited papers.
Any national society whose primary activity is in information may apply to become a full
member of IFIP, although full membership is restricted to one society per country. Full
members are entitled to vote at the annual General Assembly, National societies preferring
a less committed involvement may apply for associate or corresponding membership.
Associate members enjoy the same benefits as full members, but without voting rights.
Corresponding members are not represented in IFIP bodies. Affiliated membership is open
to non-national societies, and individual and honorary membership schemes are also offered.

Message from the Conference Chairmen
At the start of a new century, it was very appropriate to reflect on the
progress in education and consider the potential for the future. Chile 2000 -
The bookmark to the school of the future provided an excellent opportunity
to do just this.
This international conference not only marked the turn of the century, but
also itself made history. This was the first IFIP event ever to be held in
Chile, and also the first TC3 event to be held anywhere in Latin America.
Viiia del Mar offered a beautiful and effective venue for this working
conference and attracted experts in the field of Information and
Communication Technology and secondary education from across the world.
Forty-five delegates from nineteen different countries came together for the
week to debate the issues which will affect us allover the next few years.
The papers presented there, and published in this book, were high quality
and stimulated. excellent debate.. The focus groups enabled delegates. to
discuss the issues at great depth and their reports offer an insight into the
concerns we must all address as we consider the schools of the future.
We have seen many changes in our lifetime and we know that the rate of
change is accelerating. We can be assured therefore that the future for which
we must educate our young people will be very different.
It is challenging to note that the teachers we are training today will be
teaching the children who will lead us into the next century. We believe that
you will find the papers and outcomes from our conference helpful and
supportive in designing the education to support these children - our future.
