Training Teachers to Integrate ICT into Education
The "Training and Professional Development of Teachers and Other Facilitators for Effective Use of ICT in Improving Teaching and Learning" project involves training teachers to create lesson plans utilizing ICT and to use educational software. A regional online teacher resource base has been developed and implemented and a network of teacher-training institutions has been established so that teachers can share their education courseware and innovative practices.
Some of the expected results include, a set of prototype course materials on integrating technology with pedagogy produced; a regional pedagogical ICT in education "toolbox" developed; training of teacher trainers (master teachers and facilitators in the 10 participating countries trained in effective use of ICT for educational purposes); and country-specific pedagogies for active learning with ICT developed and pilot tested.
