Conclusions from the discussion on ICT integration in developing countries:

It seems to me that there is a lot of passion surrounding this issue, and that many of the participants here are quite pro-ICT, including myself.

 The literature indicates the documentation of substantial benefits derived in cases where, with some forethought, ICT programs were implemented. Some of the case studies I find fascinating and worthy of some follow-up research.

 It would seem that remarkable changes would have to be implemented for us to be a working part of what emerges as global acceptance of more widespread ICT in schools.

Though moves are afoot for teachers to progress in ICT literacy - e.g. training workshops, personal development of their own undertaking, I believe that it has mostly been thrown into the teachers' laps to flesh out the bones of whatever structure now exists, a mostly ad hoc approach.

 I do have the urge to see a more structured approach to our whole situation, one that would allow us to embrace the latter rationales that were presented as the more desirable. One that would allow us to maximise the gains from our already limited  human and  capital resources with some sense of independence. Thus we  would permit ourselves a greater hope of standing equally with developed nations in the ICT pursuit.
