Step 3: Mapping Present Usage of ICTs in Education
Mapping the present education usage of ICTs may be achieved by completing a questionnaire provides a rough profile of the way schools use ICTs for educational purposes. Such a profile will help in making decisions for ICTs in education that are realistic and appropriate. On the other hand, the profile may indicate that the present practice of utilizing ICTs in education is not conducive for an efficient use of ICTs and may require some reform to maximize the returns from future investment in ICTs.
It is recommended that the questionnaire be completed by a group designated by the Facilitation Team that is quite knowledgeable about the ICT situation in the education sector. Such group may include supervisors (inspectors), school principals and teachers. This can be done in one of two ways:
 The Facilitation Team sends the survey through the Toolkit to designated individuals who will complete it online. The Facilitation Team is able to view the results and save them.
 The Team can download the questionnaire form and send it to the designated persons to be completed and returned. The Team can then enter the responses into the electronic forms and save the results for further use.
