#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.

===Asssessment===
#The ICT subject will be assessed through a summative assessment at end of each term, so it will have SA1 and SA2. The portfolio of digital creations of the student will be assessed in the SA.
# The teacher should be able to access the student portfolios for assessment. In each term, one of the Formative Assessments will also be transacted through the activities (or variants of the same) identified in the ICT text book
#In addition, each of the six subjects (3 languages, Mathematics, Science and Social Sciences) will integrate ICT into at least one of the FA's for the subject. The FA can be done during the second term, so that the students would have had an opportunity to acquire basic ICT competencies during the first term.
# The teacher should be able to access the student portfolios for assessment.
#In addition to these formal assessments, the school should also organize digital competititions for students, illustrative list of areas is provided below
##Digital Art
##Short film/ documentary
##Photo esssay

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.

=== Support and peer learning===
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.
