Povzetek

Uspešna informatizacija šole je precej težka naloga. Namreč ne gre samo za prenos poslovanja v elektronsko obliko in uvajanje informacijske rešitve, ampak tudi za drugačen način dela in predvsem razmišljanja. Potrebno je vedeti, če kuhamo star krompir v novem loncu, je to še vedno star krompir. Na ESIC Kranj Gimnaziji smo lansko šolsko leto uspešno izvedli informatizacijo šole in letos smo ena izmed prvih šol v Sloveniji, ki lahko reče, da je E-šola. Uporabljamo elektronski dnevnik, elektronsko redovalnico, vse evidence vodimo elektronsko, uporabljamo spletne učilnice in večina učiteljev je mnenja, da je IKT pripomoček, ki pomaga in olajša delo in ne breme, ki povzroča in nalaga delo.
Namen prispevka je na podlagi izkušenj iz prakse predstaviti, katere so prednosti informatizacije šole in katere so slabosti oz. izzivi, ki jih informatizacija prinaša in s katerimi se je potrebno soočiti.

Ključne besede: e-šola, informatizacija

Abstract

A successful informatization of a school is a difficult task, which is not only about a transfer into the online supported form of operation, but also about a different way of work and – above all – a new way of thinking. The fact is that if you boil old potatoes in a new pot, the potatoes are still old. At our school (ESIC Kranj – Economic Gimnasium) the process was launched last year successfully and this year we are one of the first schools in Slovenia that can proudly be called eSchool. We use eDiary, eEvaluationbook, all our records are kept online, we use eClassrooms and most of our teachers believe that IT is an instrument which helps and makes work easier and not a burden creating the opposite.
The objective of my contribution is to present the advantages and disadvantages of school computerisation as well as challenges we are facing with on the basis of our experiences.

Key words: e-school, informatization
