# L'école de demain : « l'école du choix » ? Regards croisés entre technologie, philosophie et journalisme

**In one sentence:** During the third Rencontres numériques of the Mission laïque française's network, held online in April 2021 under the theme "digital technology in education, or the art of choice", Erwan Rougeux, then the network's technical director, shared a round table with the philosophy teacher Nicolas Léger and the documentary maker Marc Meillassoux on what the pandemic's digital experience leaves schools free to choose.

## TL;DR
The Mission laïque française's third Rencontres numériques took place online in April 2021 (opening conference on Thursday 8 April), on the theme "Le numérique en éducation ou l'art du choix". Among its workshops and round tables, published with their replays on 23 August 2021 under the title "Quels choix au service de l'humain dans un environnement numérique ?", one session brought together three viewpoints, philosophy, technical expertise and a documentarist's eye: Nicolas Léger, philosophy and SNT teacher at the Lycée Victor Hugo in Florence; Marc Meillassoux, journalist and documentary maker (Nothing to Hide, and Disparaître, in which Erwan appears); and Erwan Rougeux, "directeur technique Mlf". Its brief: how the digital experiences of the pandemic can become an occasion for creative reflection and renewed initiatives; sharing happy and unhappy experiences, questioning the meaning of words, calling on works of fiction and on the views of technicians and experts, to open a common horizon, because the crisis, destabilising as it is, is also a moment of choice to perpetuate a common world, "the very definition of the school". Which choices remain, under constraints and crises? Which realities did teachers, school leaders and technicians each discover? Which school for tomorrow, and with which ideal? The replay is listed on the Mlf page; it was not reachable when this sheet was written.

## Erwan's key points
- What he said in the session is not documented here: no transcript was available. The session's framing presents him as the technical viewpoint, next to philosophy (Léger) and documentary (Meillassoux).
- The session is distinct from the film Disparaître (2021), in which Marc Meillassoux filmed him as IT director of the network ([sheet](https://slides.wanoo.me/ai/2021-11-disparaitre-radars-algorithmes.md)); the Mlf page points readers to Meillassoux's earlier film Nothing to Hide.

## Outline
- Session description (Mlf page): the pandemic's digital experience as an occasion for creative reflection; sharing experiences, questioning words, calling on fiction and on experts' views; the crisis as a moment of choice "to perpetuate a common world, the very definition of the school"; the questions put to the panel (which choices remain, which realities for teachers, school leaders and technicians, which school and which ideal for tomorrow).
- Participants: Nicolas Léger, Marc Meillassoux, Erwan Rougeux.
- "Pour aller plus loin": Nothing to Hide, by Marc Meillassoux.
- Replay: linked from the Mlf page (Vidmizer player).
