# Each computer will have the school system, which will have two components
# Each computer will have the school system, which will have two components: 'software' - the operating system and other software applications distributed as part of the 'custom distribution' and the 'content' which will be the educational content/ OER for each school
# Software can be the Ubuntu custom distribution used in the teacher training earlier. The NCERT School server software can be another option. A school MIS software like Fedena can also be installed in the school server.

# If the number of students 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 ICT text book

# All students must participate in the ICT classes. The allocation of the transaction of the text book could be decided by the Head master in consultation with the team. It is ideal if the transaction is shared amongst few teachers, instead of assigning it to a single teacher. Since this will be a new experience in many cases, schools can explore ‘team teaching’ where 2 teachers could take the class together in the Lab. This will also help in providing support to teachers during practice sessions. Involving many teachers will also help the activities/ projects in the ICT text book to be meaningfully integrated with the core subjects.

# For each topic in the text book, for the hands-on activities, students will need to become comfortable using the relevant software application, which is indictated in the 'digital skills' section. The teacher will need to orient the students on the software application as required for the topic. Students of course can and will explore any software tool for learning additional / advanced features. All software applications can be learnt through the '[[Explore an application|Explore an Application]]' section, which is provided as part of the on-line and off-line distribution of the text book and hand book, and not in the print copy.
# During practice sessions, some students (who may be more proficient in ICT) may also be roped in to support their peers during the hands-on sessions.

# For each designated activity, each student is required to maintain their digital records / portfolio, in relevant folders. Ideally the resources created / accessed / connected to each activity should be in a separate folder.
