The purpose of this research is to explore current trends in technology integration in educational practice, particularly the implementation of the interactive whiteboard in primary education. Analyzing through the use of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA, Fairclough, 1995) the text of the Greek Ministry of Education New School: Priority to the Student, and especially the section "Digital School-seven functional axles" (2010) it was attempted - through an empirical case study - the survey, analysis and interpretation of this new teaching reality.

The educational and instructional needs revealed, shift for one more time the research interest in part of Education Policy, stressing the need for effective teacher education at tertiary level.
