1B4 Activity 9 School Readiness

At this point in time, in my country we are just getting ready for ICT. Therefore when we look at what we have and what we need with regards to technology presentation and technology integration, we cannot really use this scale to measure accurately where we are with regards to technology in our schools. If we compare ourselves to the developed nations we are still so far behind and so we have not yet had the opportunities to develop the right skills and attitudes needed for the integration of ICT.  I believe that we will get there in the near future though.

The other tool mentioned, the Star Chart is also not for our use as yet because technology integration really has not gotten off the ground, especially in primary schools.  Since we are generally in a process of preparation, I believe that maybe three to five years down the road, this tool could be used.  It would also be good at that time because by then , we should be assessing how the integration process is progressing and how it is affecting attitudes and skills and teaching and learning and teaching in our schools.
