Abstract
Greece these last 15 years has developed and implemented a large-scale system for the integration of digital technologies in education and more specifically in the teaching practice. "Large-scale" means that the whole program concerns all Greek education system. A very important part of this nationwide project is the training of teachers program that involves practically all Greek teachers - so far more than 120,000 teachers have been involved and soon they will be involved all of them (approximately 150.000). In this paper we present a summary of this plan. The monitoring of this project at national level, almost from its very beginning, gave to us the opportunity of collecting a large volume of raw information and data of both quantitative and qualitative nature.

What Greece is trying to do? Greece these last 20 years has developed and implemented a program for the integration of digital technologies in education and in the teaching practice
In Greece, it was decided to apply a single, central model for the whole country. This does not mean that actions are not allowed and implemented in place to integrate digital technologies into education: all Greek teachers can use digital technologies in their lessons
These new seminars are called B1 and B2 respectively. This model is more flexible than the previous one. These numbers are very important for Greek education, because the target of the project is a very high percentage of Greek teachers from all levels of education
Summary
What Greece is trying to do? Greece these last 20 years has developed and implemented a program for the integration of digital technologies in education and in the teaching practice. The training of trainers is an important part of the whole project as well This training has a very practical dimension: teachers must have special skills in handling software and more generally contemporary digital environments. Often identify the teaching and learning experience with digitization: for example, educational authorities seem to consider the digitalized books in the form of xxx.pdf file, as a major opportunity to access to information and creating new knowledge (e.g. new information) They try to digitalize all books used in primary and secondary education because they consider that this an enormous progress (which is true to some extend) - but in a way "they stop there".
