Rwanda’s Vision 2020 aims to transform the country into a knowledge-based, technology-led and middle income society by the year 2020. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is considered a ubiquitous tool that will energize the country’s socio-economic development. Enhancing teacher capabilities in and through ICT is one of the strategies used by the Government of Rwanda to develop a high quality skills and knowledge base, leveraging ICT across various socio-economic sectors of the country. Training teachers in ICT will increase the resource base and improve education delivery at all levels, hence the need to institutionalize ICT usage and training for all teachers.

A unit of study to introduce participants to the idea that the effective integration of ICT into a learning environment (classroom and computer lab) requires careful thought and planning, particularly with regards to time and human resources, and that there are many ICT tools available to the teacher to assist with this process.

This course has been developed to support the training of teachers to integrate ICT into their teaching practices. The materials, guides and activities are strongly aligned with the UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (CFT).
While the course embraces the role ICT can bring to the classroom it is also not held prisoner by the need for high end or sophisticated technology platforms. The course can be deployed in areas of limited or no connectivity via CD ROM or memory stick as most of the resources have been previously downloaded and collected. There are also web and paper based versions of the lessons and guides.
This course uses materials that are Open Education Resources (OER) or free to use for educational purposes, allowing the use and distribution, and in some instances the repurposing of the materials, at no additional cost. (See the Open License tab for more information).
But most importantly we hope the lessons are fun and engaging enough to introduce new possibilities and refresh the participant's passion for teaching and learning.
