ICT can potentially make significant difference in improving the quality of education. The National Policy of ICT in School Education envisions and provides for the development of a holistic framework of ICT support in the school system. While there have several ways in which ICT in schools are being implemented, we need to optimally use and leverage technology to achieve quality and efficiency in all of the interventions. Under this theme, we need to find solutions on how best technology can be leveraged for both school and adult education and share best practices, if any.
• What are the usual problems faced by schools while implementing ICT integration?
• Are they viable solutions in dealing with general issues?
• What are the different experiences of States in this regard?
• What are the ways in which technology can be leveraged for both school and adult education and share best practices, if any.

Digital Fabrication, which includes 3D Printing, is something that will skill our ITI grads for the future. Needs ICT.
Old Organization + New Technology = Expensive Old Organization. Before ICT can be integrated, we need to get to the basics of Education, redesign from there and then involve ICT.
Excellent points about ICT leapfrogs. ICT needs more recognition. Skills matter more than a degree. We may need better evaluation to prove the effectiveness of ICT.
hi meeta..thanks for doing this from london.
Would games like Minecraft be considered as learning tools? How about tools like Scratch and Alice?
If we want to leapfrog, we first need to ramp up our infra dramatically. Connectivity, broadband/wifi (with appropriate security) MUST be the absolute minimum. Devices and apps will come along but without infra they are useless.
Given the configurability provided by ICT, can we finally get to stage based learning rather than age based tutoring?
How about building an open repository of either public domain or creative commons licensed content?
So, the real challenge is to create such ICTs that are not only cost effective, it can also be customized to meet the diversity of our country??
Are we willing to go open source, open standards route, allowing inter-operability and data portability?
