The document discusses the ICT Competency Framework for Teachers, which was created through a partnership between several international organizations to help countries develop policies and standards around teacher ICT competencies. The Framework addresses how teachers can help students become collaborative, problem-solving learners through the effective use of technology. It crosses three approaches to teaching (technology literacy, knowledge deepening, knowledge creation) with six aspects of a teacher's work to create 18 modules. The Framework is aimed at helping countries conduct self-audits, develop professional learning tasks for selected modules, and support implementation in teaching.

15. 1. What are the key skills for teachers in this
module? (Highlight) – 3 mins
2. Are these skills likely to be learnt ‘on-the-job’ or
will they require specific targeted professional
learning? (Discuss and justify)
3. What needs to happen in your context (school,
Ed Dept, Uni..) to see this framework enacted
and successful? (Is this important?)
