ICT SWOT analysis: 1 hr
Writing portfolio: 1 hr
Sharing and discussion with group: 30 min

2 hrs 30 min



 

Before calling your colleagues together to do another SWOT analysis - this time specifically for ICTs in your school, think around the following ICT-related questions. These questions are a guide to help you start your discussion.

  • What strengths does the school have when it comes to ICTs and ICT skills of staff members?
  • What weaknesses at the school will prevent further growth in relation to ICTs, unless properly addressed?
  • What opportunities exist in your school's context to make use of ICTs and provide broader access?
  • What threats in the school's external environment may act as a barrier to the realisation of the school's ICT dreams?

As a facilitator of this SWOT, keep your colleagues focused on ICTs.
