Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) will not make a bad teacher professional development program better. The use of technology can, in fact, make TPD programs worse.

When refurbished computers cannot run required software applications, or poor telephone lines don’t support Internet connections, teachers and students waste time, grow frustrated, and abandon new practices to return to familiar ones. When an educational television program demonstrates new teaching methods without showing how they can work in one-teacher schools, teachers in those schools watch the program but tune out the message.
Decades of education research on student learning, teacher development, and school change, have generated a body of relevant knowledge and best practices. Success can be achieved—but only by untangling the complex set of critical factors, and by leveraging previous successes to minimize risk and strengthen project designs.The EBB 4year TPD model is definately an exciting sustainable best practice in Africa

We have been collaborating with a group from Uganda, an orphanage that currently has one computer. They joined our ning and are on it every day. We have been raising money to help pay for bandwidth (so they can continue to talk with us daily) and possibly a webcam - (so that we can skype with them.)

Would love any insight you can give us, or anything more we can be doing within this group.

Hi, I am a teacher in Morocco I really like the idea of teaching student how to use the ICT, but in our country this is not the only problem because even if we want to teach them we don’t really find computers to do so.
We as teachers we rarely have a laptop because of their high prices and our low salaries .Me personally ,I don’t have one so that I am obliged to go to the cyber net to get connected .

Add to that security problems and lack of integration training & planning and that would just about sum it up. One thing we are looking at is to create a sister school type relationship with our colleagues whereby schools in Canada can support the Internet connection with their partner in the developing region.

I am in a collaborative project now with a school from Nigeria, as well as other places. Our colleague in Nigeria has constant issues with electricity problems, reliable internet access and overall cost of internet access. Are these common issues that hinder the success as well as the skills and training?
