# The ICT text book and hand book, along with the data sets and digital resources required for transaction, will be made available on the TSROER portal. An off-line copy of the same will be provided to each school. The school can access the on-line TSROER version (which will include the latest updates as well) or the off-line version through its school server. The off-line school server version will be periodically (at least once a year) refreshed to bring it in synchronous state with TSROER. This could be done incrementally, to reduce the effort.

# In addition, each student must have a copy of the student text book.  Each teacher must have a copy of the student text book and teacher hand book. In case where the ICT Lab is not available, some of the activities in the text book could be transacted, this could be part of the contingency plan for program implementation.

# Teachers should also be able to create OER, for use in their own learning and in classroom teaching. Teachers should be encouraged to access existing OER for this purpose. Translation of existing OER (in English) into Telugu and other languages used in the state will support OER creation.

# Each student must have her/his login into the school system. (The Ubuntu GNU/Linux system allows multiple user logins to be set-up on a computer). Each student will be able to create folders and store their work on the system, which will be secured through their login. These folders will grow and be enriched over the three years of the transaction of book 1, and over the five years of the ICT learning of the student.

#Since all teachers will undergo training, they will be able to transact the ICT classes. The HM should be able to allocate the ICT classes to any of these teachers, based on various parameters including work load of different teachers. There should no rigid fixing of any unit to any specific subject teacher. In fact the ICT book offers an opportunity for any subject to go beyond subject boundaries and explore other subjects as well in the project activities. The HM will need to prepare the time table of the school, in consultation with the staff, so that the ICT classes (3 every week) are transacted by teachers over the year.

#Some of these competitions could be individual and some team-based. Similar events will be held at the Mandal, District and State level, and the school would depute students to these competititions.

Every teacher will undergo training on ICT integration in education through the Telangana Subject Teacher Forum program. During the training, the teacher will be made a member of the Subject Teacher Forum mailing groups. These groups are meant for teachers to share ideas, experiences and resources and also for seeking help and peer support. If the teacher faces a challenge or difficulty in implementing the program, she can discuss with her colleagues in her school. In addition, she can also send an email to the mailing lists, discussing the issue. This mail could be responded to by other members of the forum, or by the core group.
