This document discusses the impact of ICT (information and communication technology) resources on an educational institution. It describes how teachers are at different stages of integrating ICT - from entrance stage focused on traditional tools, to implementation, adaptation, and creation stages incorporating more technology. It notes challenges teachers face at each stage and compares later stages. The document provides recommendations for search engines, planning effective ICT lessons, changing teacher roles, and motivating teachers through support, appreciation, workshops, and fulfilling their needs. It acknowledges the increased workload for teachers and importance of continuous professional development to support successful ICT integration.

1. Impact of ICT Resources
2012-2013
on Institution

2. If you don’t know where
you’re going….
You’ll probably end up
somewhere else.
---Yogi Berra

3. Current scenario
Some of our teachers are still on Entrance Stage
 Teacher’s focus is still on what she/he knows
– text-based tools like blackboards, textbooks, workbooks,
task sheets, and overhead/multi-media projectors.
 These tools are used in combination to support teaching.

4. Problems Teacher face During
Entrance Stage

5. Current scenario (cont)
Some are at Implementation Stage in conducting ICT
integrated activities

6. Problems Our Teachers face During
Implementation Stage

 These teachers have started using new
technology and it is broadly being
integrated into traditional classroom.
 Technology has become an efficiency
device – “additional, enhanced, faster.”

8. Comparison of Implementation
and Adaptation

9. ICT Apprehension
 ICT in education has its own anxiety because of the following different aspects:

10. Changing Mind set
It is a destiny with no way out.

11. Current scenario (cont.)
Some Teachers are in creation stage.
 This stage is evidenced less by change in classroom practice
and more by a change of personal attitude toward technology.
 Confident, effortless computing
 Faculty replace old ways with new ways of teaching
 They create new goals and pedagogical understandings.
 Teachers experiment with new instructional patterns and new
ways of communicating with students and peers.

12. Comparison between adaption and creation
stage

13. Action Research
 To follow up with the new educational technology,
teachers need to spend time, work hard and keep this
up and running all their life.
 Teachers must search on finding ways of providing
guided search to avoid distraction from lesson objective.

14. Recommended Search Engines for teachers

19. Potentials of an Effective ICT Lesson
 Motivate and engage learners
 Bring life to concepts and processes
 Foster inquiry
 Provide flexibility
 Allow application of information
 Provide access to world of information
 Bring the world into the classroom
 Offer collaborative opportunities and communication
 Offer tutored and individualized learning

20. when to plan?
 Planning of ICT lesson must be done almost 15 days before the conduction of lesson.
 Projects must be planned term-wise
 Before the start of term planning of projects must be completed to utilize the free time.
 All teachers could participate and discuss to find the best strategy in the presence of ICT
teacher, ETAC Ambassador and Admin person.
 Peer observation of ICT lesson and its evaluation must be done in the presence of school
Head where future action should be planned.
 Regular discussions and workshops on team work and awareness about new teaching
technologies must be done to motivate all teachers.

21. .
What influences motivation?
 Our Values
 Appreciation
 Incentives
 Co-operation/support
 Confidence in success
 mood or emotional state
 Positive criticism

22. Appropriate Method
Teacher must:
• Identify the cognitive process she want to engage in
students. (i.e., recalling and implementing previous
knowledge)
• Choose the instructional methods that best support
those. (searching some quiz using web 2.0 technology)
• Choose the technology that best supports those
instructional methods.
• Design the lesson.

23. Change in the Role of Teacher
 Teaching is not anymore a monotonic job, where teachers keep on teaching
the same stuff over and over again.
 ICT has entirely changed the role and the job of teachers. Teachers are not
anymore the source of information, they are becoming more as facilitators,
or “scaffolding” teachers.
 With this mandatory change, teachers definitely need serious help.

24. Change Elements

25. How to motivate teachers?
• Providing good resources and support inside the school will
facilitate the use of ICT and enhance teacher motivation.
•Teachers motivation is based on the freedom.
•Teacher must be given a chance to test new ICT tools and ways of
teachings.
•Supportive and collaborative relationship among teachers.
•Money rewards in the ICT use may enhance their motivation.

26. How to motivate teachers?(cont.)
 Teachers must go through APPM (Academic Practices Procedures manual) and
implement it.
 Discussions and workshops should be arranged.
 Adherence of code of conduct related to inter-personal and intrapersonal
skills.
 Regularity of conduction of co-ordination meeting in the presence of ICT
teacher and Administration.
 Workshops on enhancing social skills and team work

27. How to motivate teachers? (cont.)
 Co-planning of ICT lesson
 Support observations of ICT lessons.
 Student feed-back for evaluation of ICT lesson.
 Use of school social network for discussions and sharing of resources.
 Involvement of Parents

28. Technical Support:
Ample technical support has been provided by the system.

school.  Math typing software
 LED TV 52” for resource room.  Global warming loop game
 3 to 4 digital Cameras  Quiz-tree.com
 Data loggers for science  Urduca.com (Urdu font installer)
 Scanner and printer for staff  Magnilink (a video magnifier)
room.  Photostory3.0
 Cacoo for mapping

30. Location and Availability of Resources
 Our school has two spacious labs equipped with all
resources needed.
 Resource room is still lacking resources.
 Availability of multi-media projector for middle school as
it is basic necessity of ICT lesson.
 Provision of Internet in teachers copy checking area.

31. Acknowledgements needed
Administration need to acknowledge the following points
 the big load added to teachers’ job,
 how much complicated and demanding their job became,

32. Considerations:
 Administration need to satisfy teachers’ basic needs in their teaching
environment to participate in implementing the ICT strategy in school.
 Provide support and up-to-date resources.
 Give rewards and appreciation for special ICT use. Workshops of how
to effectively integrate ICT in teaching and learning is the real target.
 The training sessions should take into considerations the basic needs
and wants of teachers as training has great influence on the
acceptance and the later use of technology

33. Considerations: (cont.)
 To motivate teachers to use ICT effectively in Education, effective continuous
professional development is needed.
 Encourage teachers to keep on having action research studies to explore ICT
new implementations and success.
 Finally, a continuous needs assessment should be conducted to keep on
fulfilling basic needs of teachers.

Thank you.
