No internet access at a number of students’ homes. • Insufficient I.T. Technicians • School policies and rules which prohibit the use of cell phones and electronics by students during school / class time. Issues relating to integration of I.C.T. in the classroom
Internet systems must be upgraded; wireless hubs need to be installed. Fundraisers- the funding will be realized via donations, P.T.A., School Boards, Alumni & Division funding • Upgrade electrical system via Division funding. • Construction of more classes, shuffling of present classes to make wisest use of space. • Training workshops for stakeholders both internal and external. Ways of addressing issues
Establish homework centre at schools which will be supervised by parents/teachers/prefects (probably 2-3 hours per day), to enable students to access the internet for home work assignments. • Have the division assign full time I.T. technician at every school. • Make adjustments to school rules and policies that govern the use of cell phones and electronics. Ways of addressing issues
It will equip students with the technological skills required for effective participation in the 21st century • It will provide active collaboration among stakeholders (mainly student, teacher, parent) • It will motivate students to enjoy their learning experience; to desire knowledge in an environment with which they are familiar. Advantages of I.C.T. in the classroom
It will establish a reliable, central depository of school knowledge. • It will adequately cater to multiple intelligences in the teaching / learning process. • It will provide the opportunity for gaining the class experience outside the walls of the physical classroom.

Observation and testing (pencil/paper, practical and so on) in the use of productivity and web tools • Observation; Questioning via online questionnaire, etc. • Testing (pen/paper and projects/oral presentation; individual and group) Assessment
Observation of students on task • Testing both internally (quizzes, home work assignments) and externally (N.C.S.E. and C.S.E.C.) • Observation (group work, statistics) and Questioning Assessment
Do an intervention plan • Conduct meetings with management teams or boards. Include representatives from each stakeholder sect • The representative from each stakeholder faction will do a needs’ assessment about their stance on I.C.T. Implementation Strategies
Determine training needs of each faction • Trained personnel (Principals, Vice-Principals, H.O.D.s, I.T. teachers) will be used to facilitate the new thrust. They will be responsible for training and monitoring the progress of their colleagues • Acquire resources Implementation Strategies
Installation and Testing • Implementation • Evaluation: clinical supervision will assist in this area, as well as review of lesson plans done by teachers • Review: to be done at the end of every term; to meet with H.O.D.s ever so often Implementation Strategies
