  5. Synthesis of Expected Outcomes

  6. ICT in the Curriculum • Primary education • Focus on developing basic ICT skills (keyboarding, drawing, reinforcement software, etc.) • Junior • Grade 7: Focus on ICT literacy (based on a certification) • Grade 8, 9: Subject integration • The goal at the end of Junior School -- international certification of ICT skills (Example: MS Digital Literacy). • Senior • Subject integration (Core Areas: Science, Maths and Language) • Use of ICT in TVET (CAD, Accounting, Web) • Define new vocational areas: • System administrator (Unix, Internet, DBA, Networks) • Support technician (Electronics, low level OS, wide range of applications) • Linked to the BTVI offer

  7. Infrastructure Scenarios Pre-Schools Laptop and Projector in the Classroom Primary-Schools Laptop, Projector, Interactive Whiteboard in the Class-rooms 2-4 Computers in a resource room, Administration Internet Junior-Schools 4-6 Computers, Laptop, Projector, Interactive Whiteboard in Subject Labs and Administration 15-20 Computers in Lab Internet Senior Schools 4-6 Computers, Laptop, Projector, Interactive Whiteboard in Subject Labs and Administration 20-30 Computers in Lab Internet

  8. School Requirement • Visionaries • School level ICT Plan • Take advantage of training and other opportunities • Analyze your environment …………… BE READY!

  9. Promethean Interactive Whiteboard • The surface of the ACTIVboard (Promethean) is extremely durable and made with the highest standards in mind. With normal use you can expect satisfactory results every time with proper care and maintenance.
Recommendations:

•  Place a note on your ACTIVboard (Promethean) indicating that markers are not to be used on the boards.•  Attach a list or include photos of equipment with each board.
•  Store loose and/or extra pens, power supplies, and USB/serial cables in a safe place together. 
(A bag hanging on the back of the board with all items inside is a great idea.) 
•  Avoid using tape to affix anything to the surface of the board. 
•  Avoid using abrasive powders, soaps, detergents, petroleum based cleaners, or solvents on the ACTIVboard surface.
•  Avoid using metal brushes, scrapers or abrasive cleaning cloths.
•  Scratches cannot be repaired or removed and will make ink and stain removal difficult.
•  Test your board BEFORE using it with your students. • Report malfunctions and glitches -- it saves time and energy. http://www2.yisd.net/education/projects/projects.php?sectionid=14247

  10. Cleaning a Promethean board: Due to the high quality of projection surface it is not recommended that dry wipe markers are used on a regular basis. If, however, the surface needs cleaning after the use of such markers, we recommend the following methods:
• For normal dry wipe markers use Sandford Expo Towelettes 81850. Do not use a board rubber.
• For permanent markers use Sandford spray cleaner 81803. You should be able to obtain these products from an office supplies company. A polish with standard household spray polish will restore the smooth writing surface after cleaning.

  11. Rules • students must clear any Internet printing before sending material to the printer. • know how many pages/whether entire article is needed • students record the URLs for the Web sites they use • forbid fooling around with the computer's C drive, removing the mouse ball, and changing icons and wallpaper on the desktop • On the first lab day, each student is assigned a station • Remain standing at your station until you're invited to sit down. • Sit quietly until you know what's expected of you • Turn your station box over if you have a problem. • Never touch another student's computer. • When class is over, close all windows, stand when asked, and push your chair into your lab station.

  12. Keep your hands off the keyboard and mouse until you know what we're doing. • Spell-check and proofread before printing. • Print to a color printer only when color is needed. • Get permission if you want to use the Internet for anything other than the day's assignment. ( have a brightly colored card to give students who have permission.) • Leave your workspace the way you'd like to find it. This means exit all applications, close the server connection, and put any removable media where it belongs.

  13. Respect the hardware and software. • Do not install any programs without the teacher's permission • Have all necessary applications open and active. • Read the instructions on the computer screen before asking for help. • Do not surf the Internet or read e-mail when you're supposed to be listening to the teacher or working on an assignment. • Stay out of other people's files. • Ask for help if you don't understand something • Log off when you're finished.

  14. Bring only necessary materials to the computer lab -- no backpacks. (This keeps backpacks from knocking plugs loose and minimizes obstructions in the rows while the teacher is walking around helping students.) • Do not bring food or drink, lotions, or combs near the computers. • Do not alter anything on the desktop or hard drive • Store documents in network folders, not on the hard drive • Get a teacher's permission before using a disk. • If you finish assignments or have extra computer time, work on other school projects. • All computer use must have an educational basis. No game playing.
