A Whole School ICT Policy

 

 

A six-point-plan to follow when drafting your whole school ICTaC policy

 



  Technology has to be made into a democratic tool, a force that generates social change and creates new forms of knowledge… It is imperative that the educational system ensures that all students gain access to and training in technology and the new means of communication. And this way, citizens will be equipped to live in a technological, electronic and cybernetic society, and will be capable of making intelligent use of this technology for the benefit of everyone.. NMC Pg 25
