# The entire TSROER content should be made available to the school through an external hard disk. The TSROER content should be periodically refreshed with the school. This could be done incrementally, to reduce the effort.

# Each school must designate an Teacher IT co-ordinator (TITC), based on norms suggested by DSE. One option is for the School Head Master to designate a suitable teacher (who is reasonably comfortable using ICT and is inclined to take on the responsibility) as the SITC, a second option is for the DSE to designate teacher of a particular subject as the SITC. The SITC role could be periodically (once in 2-3 years) rotated amongst the staff.

ICT lab requires much higher maintenance than most school assets. Computers and other equipment are likely to fail or develop problems which need to be attended to. The TITC must proactively address issues to ensure high uptime of computers

# In case there is no supply of electricity, or the computers are not working, some of the activities in the text book which can be done without the Lab (such as collecting data through surveys) will need to be planned.
