Low cost ICT in education solutions for schools
I feel that although there is an increase in the number of ICT solutions for schools - mainly as content and curriculum, schools still find it difficult to implement these solutions and run them successfully. At least in India, this is still the case with majority of the schools because of lack of teacher training and high implementation and maintenacne costs. Also, with the advent of free online content, syllabus adn platforms for students to create and share their content - is there or will there be a need to purchase content? It will also be interesting to study the global trends in ICT in education and globalisation of content as such. Should there be more emphasis on giving schools the right and cost effective tools (hardware, networking) instead of expensive software? These are the few questions I would like to discuss and know about from other participants.
