Summary | Some cantons introduced computer programming as part of their school curricula, but Geneva is not one of them. It seems that they're focusing on digital equipment. Introducing digital culture to students is not enough; what about teaching them to be "critical" and talking to them about the dangers that they can face? Anne Emery- Torracinta and Marie- Claude Sawerschel answer some questions.

Summary | A school principal explains how digital devices can help children learn. He wants to progressively digitize 50% of the school material. Smartphones and laptops don't ruin the school system; we just need to know how to use them. At his private school, everyone has a an iPad where they can find their class material. Now, the school provides each child with an iPad, but soon everyone will bring their own device. Our digitized society has the advantage of tightening social relationships between people, which is something not everyone agrees with.
