Module 1B3 Activity 9 School Readiness

The STaR document is one that may be used to determine a school's readiness for ICT integration while the Mankato scale looks at the readiness of teachers. For any school to progress in ICT integration it is imperative that they know where they are so that they can decide where they need to go.  Too often, schools embark on technology projects in an ad hoc manner simply because they were given some computers by donor agencies or because they have discovered some new technology that may not necessarily fit into their level of technological development.  There must be a strategic plan to chart the way forward for ICT integration in a school and it begins with the readiness assessment......that of the school and that of the staff.
