# Up to 3 student teachers could work together on a computer. The selection of these learning groups must be carefully done by the teacher educator to support peer learning possibilities, and not be random

# If the number of student teachers is more than three times the number of computers, the section could be split into two (or more as required), such that one group works in the lab and the other group(s) are assigned other classes, including discussing topics / exercises from the source book, watching documentary films related to the topics etc.

# All students must participate in the ICT classes. It is ideal if the transaction is shared among few teacher educators, instead of assigning it to a single teacher educator. Institutions should explore ‘team teaching’ where 2 teacher educators could take the class together in the lab. It is necessary to engage all teacher educators in the transaction of this course, so that they are enabled and encouraged to see how they can integrate the relevant concepts and processes in the teaching of their own courses. More such integration or 'main-streaming' of ICT mediation into the other courses, to meaningfully alter the content and pedagogy processes, more will be the benefit to the institution, the teacher educators and the student teachers

Towards this aim, 'hooks' have also been provided in the source books for the other courses, for adopting ICT in the teaching-learning processes.

# For each topic in the text book, for the hands-on activities, students will need to become comfortable using the relevant software applications. The teacher educators will need to orient the students on the software application as required for the topic. Student teachers of course can and will explore any software tool for learning additional / advanced features. All software applications can be learnt through the '[[:Category:Explore an application|Explore an Application]]' section, which is provided as part of the on-line and off-line distribution of the source book and hand book.

# Preferably the practical hours should be in slots of 2 hours at a time; this will allow an extended period to get into and complete an activity. Individual colleges may need to come up with time-table adjustments  to allow for optimal hands-on time for student teachers.
