Teacher training

By increasing educators’ knowledge and competencies in using specific software packages will not have a very big impact on the effective use of ICTs at this particular school. The focus should, at this stage, rather move to providing the educators with training and support in effectively integrating ICTs to enhance their teaching and their learners’ learning. Training opportunities should focus on showing the educators the value of technology, how it can enhance teaching and learning and how to locate and access technology resources that will support teaching and learning in their specific subjects or learning areas. At a later stage, using technology to track learner progress through the curriculum and their use of technology resources, could also be addressed.
