Activity 1: Partnerships activity
 Module 12: Partnerships

Overview & Instructor Notes

The purpose of this activity is to give participants the opportunity to speak about the activities of their organization and to consider how they might work together in support of ICT in education.

It is possible that the participants know little about the activities of the other participating organizations and this activity may be an important first step in establishing strategic partnerships that will increase the chance of success in the introduction of ICT in the schools.

The day before the activity is scheduled announce the activity to the participants and ask any participant that is interested in making a presentation to inform the workshop facilitator.

The amount of time required is dependent on the number of individuals that wish to make a presentation. Typically one hour is allowed for the activity and the time for each presenter is determined within that limit for the activity.
