WHY ICT INTEGRATION?

Digital tools enable teachers to● Invite external experts● Consult vast repositories of information● Document classes both for review and to help

absentees● Provide an authentic audience for student work● Reflect the real adult world where ICT is

integrated into both private life & work● Bring city facilities to rural areas

barriers to the routine use of ICT when appropriate because of

● Lack of equipment or bandwidth

WHAT IS YOUR SMART ICT GOAL?

● Think about a current class you teach and what you would like your learners to be able to do better.

● Perhaps you would like them to be able to search for information more efficiently, or document results more attractively or use experts to inform their projects?
