17. Educational Technology Training on Effective Use of Smartboards and Tab Computers

Currently, the main problem that has been identified in the current friendly classrooms and tab  computer projects is the lack of understanding among the educational staff about how to use these  devices as an effective tool to achieve learning, rather than not knowing the technology to use such devices. Therefore, a formal training matching with educational principles and technology (International Pedagogical) has been planned together with the Information and Communication Technology Unit of the Southern Province Education Department and the Education Development Division.

It has the ability to prevent misuse and misuse of equipment. One of the main weaknesses that we see today is that the school related parties are not aware of the changes that are being made, so that the equipment is not being used correctly in the school.
