A mailing-list of student-teachers and faculty should be created in the beginning of the term and student-teachers must be encouraged to actively participate in virtual discussions on topics covered in the classes and labs. Guest faculty can also be invited to participate in these lists. The mailing-list can also serve to share information and announcements with student-teachers.

For providing opportunities to students for working in the ICT lab, the teacher will need to create login-ids for each student. A separate login-id for each student will enable to keep the work of the students secure and easily accessible, this is necessary for assessment of the students work over time and at the end of the year. It is likely that the number of students exceeds the number of computers in the ICT Lab, hence more than one login-id will need to be created on a computer. Teams of 2-3 students can be formed, and each team will work on a computer designated for it, on which the login-ids of member students have been created. All the digital materials created by each student will be secure within their own part of the data stored in the computer, and no student will be able to access the data of another student since it will require the login by that student.

Each student will identify a topic (or two), related to her subject, on which she will access, create, edit, share and publish digital resources over the course of this unit. The student will use different digital methods for this, as per the topics in the student source book. The resources access, created and modified will form part of the 'digital portfolio' which will be offered for assessment by the student.
