.the main argument

• Troves of digitised cultural content and cultural
  knowledge in CH institutions
• Contrary to common sense expectation teachers
  seem not to use them in their ICT programs
• Teachers, schools and the educational system have
  many creative and innovative ICT initiatives
• Museums and other cultural heritage institutions
  are assimilating this know how when disseminating
  their digital cultural objects offerings
• Review of such activities in Israel
• Possible integration? Non trivial!
