Step 1. Access and review pertinent information

Step 2. Review Reference Handbook for Ideas about ICT Interventions

The team, or a designated expert group should research the Reference Handbook  to review and take note of:

• The role and nature of ICTs
• The potential of ICTs for addressing each priority area in terms of possibilities or specific solutions and lessons of individual case studies.
  
  • Expanding educational opportunities
  • Enhancing quality of learning
  • Enriching quality of teaching
  •  Facilitating skill formation
  • Establishing and sustaining lifelong learning
  • Improving policy planning and management
  • Advancing community linkages

* You may also use the SEARCH HANDBOOK feature to find relevant information.

To view the parameters necessary for the potential of ICTs to be realized for each priority area,
 View Reference Handbook, Section 6: "From Potential To Effectiveness."

- The group should also tap other resources available on the Internet.

Step 3. Compose Targeted Priority Areas

Taking into consideration the information reviewed in Step 1 and Step 2 above, the team should decide whether ICT-intervention scenarios will be formulated for each individual item in the priority lists developed in 2.1 (Identification and Analysis of Educational Areas for ICT Interventions) and reviewed in Step 1, or whether priority items should be grouped together depending on the relations among them to form one targeted priority area for ICT intervention.

The options are:

• Treating each item in the priority list separately with the possibility of some adjustments 
• Combining some or all priority items within a specific educational objective list
• Combining priority items across educational objectives
• Combining all priority items across educational objectives into one targeted area

Irrespective of the option selected, it is important to include all the priority items in the targeted areas. It is also advisable not to combine priority items unless there is a clear justification for that.
