The Plan Informatique pour tous (IPT) was a large-scale government operation that took place in France in 1985. It encompassed the installation of 14,000 nano-réseaux and more than 100,000 workstations in schools, mainly primary schools, as well as the training of teachers. IPT shares several characteristics with similar previous experiences, but its magnitude and the haste with which it was implemented were unprecedented. Drawing on a vast array of public archives, pedagogical journals and budgetary documents, this chapter presents the legacy ofprevious experiences dating back to the 1970s. It sheds light on the political expectations that led the socialist government to suddenly accelerate the process of equipping schools with computers. Finally, it explores the industrial stakes as well as the pedagogical aspects of an operation that can be considered both as a milestone and a failure.Read less <
