1. Technology Integration Planning Guidelines for Development A Visual Guide Development of a Literacy Programme for Form One

2. Map Expectations Identify Groups Key Question: Identify the groups to benefit from the ICT infusion Intervention What should each group expect from ICT Infusion? What do each of these groups expect from each other? What resources are required?

3. Resource Requirements Some are trained, willing, to infuse tech in curr resourceful Some , willing and trained teachers. Willing students some are computer literate with laptop Supportive admin More ICT equip. Wireless con.
