School digitalisation as a project includes the procurement of digital equipment, improving connectivity, introducing software into teaching, and developing teachers' digital skills. The sources of funding are usually the Recovery and Resilience Plan, European programmes, and national contributions intended for schools. Experience from completed projects shows that equipment alone does not bring benefit – what matters is methodological support and teacher training, which must be part of the intent from the start, not an add-on. The project should therefore also include a plan for how the technology will be used in individual subjects, and the designation of a person who will manage the digital environment at the school. When preparing the project, it is worth taking into account the follow-on costs of licences and servicing, since these shift into the school's budget once the support period ends. It is likewise worth arranging device management and insurance, since technology wears out faster in a school environment.
