Map Expectations Form 1 students & teachers Minimize time taken by teachers in planning lessons & maximize benefits to students; greater resources for teachers; easy lesson delivery; increased motivation for teachers & students Maximized passes from students; greater interest in school work; increased discipline; more competitive in class; increased & improved research skills; increased participation; greater learning initiative. Improved lesson quality & teacher delivery; greater lesson content appeal; more current syllabus content. Easy access to internet; increased working space; better working conditions; wired & wireless classrooms; easier access to better resources for curriculum. Key Question: 1.Identify the groups to benefit from the ICT infusion Intervention 2.What should each group expect from ICT Infusion? 3.What do each of these groups expect from each other? 4.What resources are required? Identify Groups

What is the Relative Advantage? What is the Advantage of infusing the Technology? Saves time More options for communicating with students Greater content & quality of lesson delivered More techniques for content delivery & assessment available Less time to be spent developing content Immediate feedback from students for diagnosis of learning disabilities Overall Objectives? Better performance from students Greater productivity for teachers Greater gratification from learning & teaching process

Objective of Infusion Students - Examples Improve assessment scores Increase student research skills w/use of technology Promote time on task – Reduction of mis- behaviour – Increase in student motivation Teachers Visual learning for students Interactive learning Greater discipline in classroom Greater delivery of lessons

How will you perform measurement (1) Students  Questionnaire at 3 pts in term to gauge response  3 course marks per term for comparison with previous work done  Observation of behaviour in class via clinical supervision Teachers  Clinical supervision  Staff assessment via questionnaire

Measurement (2) School: Indices (Last Yr vs. Present Yr) 1.Physical improvements (technology & classrooms) 2.Spill Over Effect +- (Pervasiveness) 3.Initial Challenges – infrastructure & facilities, teacher training, resistance by teachers & students to change, students’ literacy 4.Lessons Learnt – training & education about technology helps with delivery and changing mindset of end users, implementation in stages, developing/improving comfort areas (tools & techniques) before moving to something new

Integration Strategies Term 1 Computer Literacy – teachers & students Use teachers as starting point Term 2 Guided use of interactive learning tools Teachers esp Form Teacher & I.T Teacher Term 3 Interactive assessment & classes– online questionnaire / exam, assignments left by absent teachers Classroom 1.What tools/techniques will you introduce based on your learnings for each term? 2.What is a good starting point for integration?
