For providing opportunities to students for working in the ICT lab, the teacher will need to create login-ids for each student. A separate login-id for each student will enable to keep the work of the students secure and easily accessible, this is necessary for assessment of the students work over time and at the end of the year. It is likely that the number of students exceeds the number of computers in the ICT Lab, hence more than one login-id will need to be created on a computer. Teams of 2-3 students can be formed, and each team will work on a computer designated for it, on which the login-ids of member students have been created. All the digital materials created by each student will be secure within their own part of the data stored in the computer, and no student will be able to access the data of another student since it will require the login by that student.

Each of the activities will involve the use of one or more software applications. While the basics of the use of the application are provided in the source book, for more detailed and advanced learning on the tool, the student should refer to the [[:Category:Explore an application|manual for the applications]], which can be provided in as an off-line copy on the lab server. Since one of the important elements of learning ICT is that of self-learning and discovery through a process of exploring an application by oneself, providing the advanced set of features (all of which are chosen based on their relevance to the role of a teacher), will support student teachers to become more comfortable in using these applications. Since student teachers are '[[wikipedia:Digital_native|digital natives]]' they will usually be able to explore the applications by themselves. The references provided to different software applications (Learn <application name>) in the transaction suggestions in the table below, are to this [[:Category:Explore an application|manual.]]

Each student will identify a topic (or two), related to her subject, on which she will access, create, edit, share and publish digital resources over the course of this unit. The student will use different digital methods for this, as per the topics in the student source book. The resources access, created and modified will form part of the 'digital portfolio' which will be offered for assessment by the student. Students will be encouraged to license their resources as OER and make it available for public use.
