ICT integration impossible in developing nations?

I say not. Technology is simply a tool...a grand one at that! It is up to the creative teacher to use that tool effectively to achieve the goals of education. Even with limited resources, integration is happening in the Bahamas. Good teachers will seek out all means of revealing the potentials of their students.

Good teachers also have to become good at convincing the appropriate bodies etc. of the value of integration. We have to do the research to show that the effective use of tech in the classroom is making a difference....including to no small extent-an economic difference.

With more collaboration and inclusive planning I believe that The Bahamas is in a position to compete.
We have to move on to utilizing the technologies which our students already own. (since cellphones and electronics are prohibited in schools) We have to be sensible and yet daring! I say STEP OUT! show how it can be done!

We have to teach our studnets how to manage information...we have to steer them into using the information in meaningful ways. Like all trailblazers.....we do not wait to know everything! we have to step out and learn as we go along. A willingness to experiment and try out new things!

I want to spread that confidence among my colleagues and facilitate that spirit of creativity. We need to support each other on a wider scale. I think The Bahamas is on the move in the right direction.
