Votre
École Chez Vous (VECV), which means
"your school at home", is an association
under contract with French National Education.
The association, which includes 47 teachers,
has ensured the home schooling of 163 children
and has introduced new information and communication
technologies in its instruction.
A teacher
comes to the pupil's home once or several times
per week to follow the National Education program
at the child's individual pace. Moreover, VECV
integrates the child into a class, even if it
is a virtual one. Contact among children take
place, making them feel less isolated.

The integration
of new technology in daily operations of VECV
is critical since computers and the Internet can
optimise teaching at a distance, allowing real-time
contact among students and making sick or physically
disabled children less isolated.
The association has set up an infrastructure based
on new technologies, computers at the student's
home and communication via the Internet. |

| The team of volunteers from the Steria Foundation entirely renovated the association's website: teachers can now update the site on their own and coordinate the students’ forum. The site is dynamic, children communicate like in a real classroom and the school regularly provides information on its activities. School reports are now available on-line. Today, volunteers are implementing a virtual library which will give access to additional material completing the courses, especially for the virtual classes. |
