    • We have considered benefits of ICT for education. We have looked at the challenge of the digital divide. We have also identified two frameworks that identify desired ICT competencies in educators, but what exactly does your national ICT in education policy identify as your role in integrating ICT into education? It's time for you to go to the education authority's website and find the appropriate documentation. What does it say about the role of the educator or teacher? 

      Don't expect, however, detailed directives about what you are supposed to do. Policies tend to describe the vision in very broad strokes and at a very high level. Hence, it's also worth investigating what your education authority says about the role for technology in further publications and strategy plans. These strategy documents often have a lot more detail and are more useful to teachers.
