Module 10 Activity 2 A Vision for school ICT Policy

Ten years from now, I envisage ICTs being fully integrated into the school’s curriculum as well as being the driving force for the school’s day to day operation.  Learning using ICTs will be anytime anywhere learning.  The school would have implemented ways for the ICTs to be fully integrated into the curriculum and students to use ICTs for effective learning.  The schools vision for ICT will reflect national as well as international needs so that the students will fit seamlessly into any society.

Issues to include are:

·         ICT vision, mission, rationale

·         The need for learners to be autonomous in learning

·         The teachers role will be on managing learning

·         A competence-based curriculum apportions knowledge where it has a relevance to the

competencies which are being taught.

·         Usage of ICT for students, teachers and administrators

·         ICTs for special needs and exceptional students

·         Health and safety issues

·         Internet acceptable use policy

·         World wide web use, email and chat policy

·         sanctions

·         Agreement forms for children and Permission forms for parents
