Activity 10: Activity 4B - ICT and Staff Development

Having competent and capable staff/teachers is a key component of the ICT integration into Teaching and Learning process.

In order for Teachers to effectively bring about this change they must receive the necessary training so that they  will be able to use ICT effectively in their classrooms. They should be engaged in continued professional development activities so that they will be able to engage in using ICT skills learnt and integrating it into pedagogy so that they can hep in the ICT integration process.

Training should be done at different levels based on teachers' ICT competency level and should include courses/training in Basic ICT skills, How to integrate ICT into pedagogy, basic trouble shooting skils and Managing, learning and teacing with ICT just to name a few. These  sessions can be planned as inservice training, 2 or 3 day sessions for beginners and intermediate users while advance users of ICT could be engaged in online  professional development courses.
