GILAS
 Teacher Professional development, ICT
Integration, Materials Development
 Partners in Learning(Microsoft.....etc)
 Intel Teach
 Knowledge Channel
 Telcos
 Linkages with Stakeholders

Three Challenges
1. REAFFIRM the power of “older” ICTs----- radio,
television and playback technologies
Computers and internet maybe “sexier” but these are
NOT always the most appropriate!
2. FOCUS as much on the “soft” side of the ICTs as the
‘hard’ side.
- Capability building, content development,
community building

LOGO
Three Challenges
3. INTEGRATE efforts- vertically and horizontally ---in ICT
Integration
• Learn to learn from each other
• Start building a “community of practice”
• Break the endless cycle of pilots and
• Start thinking about how we can go to scale
