Four phases of ICT development Phase 1: Emerging Phase 2: Applying Phase 3: Integrating Phase 4: Transforming Learning to Learn in the 21 st Century www. edunova. org

Phase 1: Emerging • beginning stages of ICT development • school has some equipment and software • administrators and educators are just starting to explore the possibilities • still firmly grounded in traditional, educator-centered practice • odd teachers may be running some computer literacy lessons or courses Learning to Learn in the 21 st Century www. edunova. org

Phase 2: Applying • new understandings of the contributions of ICTs to learning have developed • administrators and educators use ICTs for tasks already carried out in school management and in the curriculum • Teachers lessons may be supplemented with ICT use • Learners use ICT tools in limited ways to complete required lessons • access to technology is through one or two classroom computers and computer labs • emphasis is on educators teaching about the computer and not learners learning with the computer Learning to Learn in the 21 st Century www. edunova. org

Phase 3: Integrating • range of technologies in laboratories, classrooms and administrative offices • staff explore new ways in which ICTs change their personal productivity and professional practice • curriculum begins to merge learning areas to reflect real -world applications • learners choose projects and ICT tools to learn and demonstrate their knowledge across learning areas • flexibility to combine and to recombine • learners have choices with regard to learning styles • staff development and support in integration of ICT • more responsibility for own learning and assessment Learning to Learn in the 21 st Century www. edunova. org

Phase 4: Transforming • school has used ICTs creatively to rethink and renew school organisation • ICTs become an integral, though invisible, part of the daily personal productivity and professional practice • focus of the curriculum is now learner-centered and integrates learning areas in real-world applications • learners’ access to technology is broad and unrestricted – educators have undergone training and support in ICT integration – have planned and implemented new approaches to teaching and learning that include the use of ICT as a supporting tool • take more responsibility for their own learning and assessment • school has become a center of learning for the community.
