ICT POLICIES AND EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION: PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS IN COLOMBIA.

This paper highlights the relevance of an underexplored dimension in ICT integration: the policy enactment of educational innovation. More concretely, this work focuses in the complexity of policy enactment in local contexts in which ICT policies yield uncertain effects. Drawing on an empirical study in one Colombian region, the findings reveal a set of issues related to policy translation and policy positions, two key aspects of Stephen Ball's policy enactment theory. The findings and reflections invite the expansion of research in the field of ICT polices. This work is useful for scholars examining ICT integration, school administrators and policy makers.
