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.

India is all about diversity, how do you plan to implement common ICT for diverse demography??
State run schools, colleges, universities mushroomed in small towns, cities, hinterlands - kindly share suggestions to train teachers in the aforesaid institutions?
How do you plan to implement ICT to communities living in villages, and remote areas, who are neither educated, nor have electricity and obviously no access to mass media?
What are the biggest challenges with ICT that havent allowed us to increase higher education access? We do have programs like NMEICT and lots of course material have been created for online consumption. Yet, the impact hasnt been there. What are the issues impending ICT to provide access to higher education.
ICT for teacher can be divided into two categories. 1) Streamlining admin work: Assigning homework, communication with parents 2) Aiding teaching process: This can be divided into 2a) Demonstrating experiments - simulations & videos 2b) Granular diagnosis 2c) Customized remediation.
Most ICT today is either of 1st category or of 2(a). For impact on learning, we need more of 2b and 2c. 2c might take time but there is lot of scope for 2b.
For students: Practice, exploring advance stuff.
Every teacher should have a computer and internet connection at home even, so that they can explore the education in free time.

Also teachers should learn first how to use technology efficiently and what are the resources available online that can make teaching efficient, then only they can teach their students.
Huge difference in syllabus of state govt. schools with central board schools does not allow same study material usable. Also creates hindrance in globalization of learning.
ICT can only be successful, if affordable internet is available in every schools and villages. Further more we also require cheaper computers or tablets for every student. Student safety is also a concern, so that students should be motivated to use these devices for education, building creativity, not for playing games etc. So for it teachers and parents supervision is required especially for students of small age groups.
