ICT in Education Toolkit launched in Thailand
Submitted by secretariat on Wed, 2005-09-07 01:55.
Who can use the toolkit?
How does the toolkit help?
The aim of the new kit is to improve decision-making with regard to the integration of ICT in education.
Information and communication technology has been used to improve the quality of teaching and learning and to reach those who have been otherwise excluded from education. Innovative use of ICTs can truly realize the promise of Education for All. However, examples worldwide have shown that when not implemented correctly, ICT hardware, software, and training can waste scarce resources.
Participants in the workshop include Ministry of Education staff from Pakistan, Philippines and Thailand. The three countries are about to, or have begun, the process of updating their education plans and would like to integrate ICT in Education policies into those plans. The ICT in Education Toolkit will first be introduced to Ministry of Education staff from these three countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Eventually other education professionals will be trained in its use.
