'''ICT Integration in Education - Perspective plan for Telangana - Presentation to Commissioner on Aug 6,2016'''
The objective of the state education department is to integrate technology into teaching and learning in sustained and meaningful ways.  The department is focused on upgrading the school labs in 3000 schools by building a digital lab and through equipping the classrooms with digital resources. 
 
In this context, it is proposed:
 
#to evolve a meaningful curriculum for students,
 
#to develop appropriate school level teaching learning resources (including textbooks, handbooks and other materials for students and teachers) and
 
#to implement teacher training and develop teacher materials for supporting the implementation of this curriculum. 
 
The state has already created a core group of about 50 resource persons who will be training teachers at the district level in the development of resources using various educational tools for use in the digital classrooms.  This district training will be conducted in the subjects of mathematics and science during the months of February – May. These teachers will be learning to access resources from the internet, create resources using various educational tools and share resources using online forums.<br><br>
 
To build digital literacy and ICT integrated learning capabilities in the school system in a sustained way, the department is now also planning to develop a student curriculum for implementation in the schools. It is proposed to base this curriculum on the National ICT curriculum and develop project modules providing various opportunities for students to interact and create with ICT, thus providing meaningful learning possibilities.<br><br>
 
An initial planning meeting was conducted on January 29, 2016 from which the following action points have emerged:
 
#Formation of a core group that will create project based modules in line with the National ICT curriculum for student learning; accompanied by teacher training modules as well as resources for use in the digital classrooms. 
 
#Formation of a core group that will look at the content developed in the state and curate it to be made available in a repository accessible to all teachers.
 
It was also decided to have a design and planning workshop to develop the syllabus for the ICT implementation.  This is a concept note for this design workshop.
 
=Objectives of the workshop=
 
#To identify the core skills and competencies to be built for digital literacy which will also support the achievement of Telangana academic standards
 
#To develop a syllabus for the students' learning, based on the National ICT curriculum, with a project based approach and identification of modules, to be developed as a textbook for students
 
#To identify the areas for development of teacher materials which will support (i) the implementation of the syllabus and (ii) integration of ICT applications for teaching learning in classrooms, to be developed in the textbook and teacher handbook
 
#To develop processes and benchmarks for review of teacher created materials and resources created during the teacher training workshops; this will provide a continuous, sustained model for development and publishing of resources
 
#To develop a guideline for actual transaction and implementation of the syllabus in the schools
