Instructions
Read this letter
from worried parents who are complaining about
the additional money that has been requested from
them by the school for ICTs. As a member of the
School Management Team (SMT), think carefully how
will you motivate these parents to support your
school.
You may find the school's
vision for ICTs diagram useful to get ideas
on how ICTs can enhance various areas of functioning
in the school. Make notes to yourself on ideas to
include in your response to the letter.
Now, write a letter to respond
to the parents' complaints in the letter. Explain
and motivate to them why the introduction of these
ICTs at your school will be beneficial to learners.
Explain how will they support other areas of functioning
at the school as well.
Copy
your letter into a message to
your group (using the subject heading "Response to parent"). Respond to letters sent to you by
your group, highlighting points with which you particularly
agree or disagree.
