Abstract
In the context of the digital age, this paper reports the perceptions of stakeholders about an integrated implementation of tablet computers in a secondary school in Flanders. The main focus is on the central role that teachers play in this implementation process. Focus group interviews show that teachers can be distinguished into two categories, namely the innovative and the instrumental teachers, which has consequences on the manner of giving courses and the needs concerning professional development. These results indicate that the role of innovative teachers has to be promoted and attention has to be given to digital didactics.
