  How do we take measure of ICT integration or implementation? Its not something we can score on a scale of 1 to 10 or measure as achieving with excellence or just passing. The benchmarks for every school and every classroom are different.
  
  In preparing our students for the 21st Century, we must prepare them for the ubiquitous use of technology. We must enable them to adapt and change. But how do we get a measure of ICT integration?
  
  I believe there are three factors or enablers that work together to facilitate integration. If any of these factors are in short supply, then the level of integration will be reduced or impaired.
  
  The three factors are resources, skills and curriculum. They form a triangle and the area of the triangle is level or degree of integration. The bigger the area, the higher one is on the LOTI scale (See also http://www.drchrismoersch.com).

  What are these factors or enablers?
  
  resources.jpg1. Resources:
  
  This is the physical and electronic tools and materials available to the teacher in the classroom. A well resourced room or school is considerably higher up the ladder than a low decile school which has to fund raise for a new computer. The availability of tools like:
  
  · Interactive whiteboards
  
  · Classroom desktop computers
  
  · Pods of laptops or one to one programs
  
  · PDA’s, ipods and cellphones
  
  · Educationally focused software
  
  · Learning and content management systems
  
  Coupled with ubiquitous access to resources, high speed internet access, suitable and appropriate communications tools are great enablers. If with this you also have resource materials for teaching and learning, tailored to your curriculum (see also curriculum) then ICT implementation is easier.
  
  But even with a high level of implementation it is not assured.
