Information about the project
Project title *
ICT Portal for Teachers
Description *
The "ICT Portal for Teachers" provides a gateway to Internet resources and websites to help teachers utilize ICT to enhance their teaching. The portal is part of an Asia-Pacific Programme on ICT in Education run by UNESCO's Asia and the Pacific Bureau of Education and sponsored by the Japanese Government through Japanese Funds-in-Trust. The programme’s focus is on how to use ICT to reduce disparities in both educational access and quality and, ultimately, bridge the digital divide. UNESCO envisions that the ICT programme will result in an educational environment involving enriched curricula, resource sharing, quality multimedia material, and a cadre of teachers who are competent in facilitating better learning with ICT.
