Theoline Croft 2A 4 Activity 11 - Creating a PLN

Creating a PLN proves to be an important activity if we are expected to become a learning community.  Even though it was a tedious exercise, I see myself benefiting considerably from this exercise, as many persons will be providing expertise and best practices to issues which each of us may encounter.
My school and practice should improve if best practices and good advice are employed.

I have come to realize that for schools to ready themselves for ICT integration, that it takes much persuasion, buy-in and political will to complete this essential undertaking.  While schools realize the potential of this integration, it remains the business of the principal, teachers, parents, Ministry of Education and cooperate Antigua and Barbuda to see this through.
In these times of economic challenges, what little schools can do to ensure that the integration takes place will be the energizer to the programme.
However, The Ministry of Education needs to 'take the bull by the horns' and ensure that policies to govern ICT is completed.  Further, the training to be provided for teachers will be welcomed as well, to encourage the use of ICT in all spheres of the school.

Vygotsky and Dr. Mitra seem to be singing from the same hymn sheet.  Their conclusions say to educators that it is very important to allow students to develop and seek knowledge by providing the appropriate stimili.  Further, at some point in the learning, the facilitator makes contact in order to ensure that students are on target.
