This document discusses an e-education project in Slovenia that aimed to improve teachers' e-competencies and use of ICT in teaching. It faced challenges like teachers primarily using technology for administrative tasks instead of instruction. The project provided seminars, consultancy, and workshops from 2009-2012 that over 21,000 teachers and 500 principals attended. It collaborated with over 1,500 schools, or three-quarters of all schools, and provided nearly 12,000 on-site and 10,000 online consultations to support teachers' developing e-competencies. The goal was to help teachers and schools adapt to educational reforms by better integrating technology into instruction.
