| Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) is being increasingly integrated
in all sectors of economy. It is also an important trend in
education, and its significance can not be denied in the area
of teaching and learning. Alongside the government’s initiative
of introducing computers at school level, DSD has started
the process of integration of ICT into the teacher development
programme structures, processes and governance procedures.
All our offices are web linked
and every new entrant to the organization is made computer
literate as a first priority. Every training session at DSD
now includes a compulsory component of ICT skills.We have
provided easy access to internet facility at DSD as well as
our field formations, with all 35 DTSCs and all 1989 CTSCs
linked with DSD via internet. We hope to move massive amount
of data and information without undue wastage of human and
material resources.
ICT is being increasingly used
as a learning stimulus, because it enables learning through
multiple intelligences. All our training at DSD or at field
level, recognizes this fact and computer skills are included
in all our training modules.Training seminars at DSD include
use of multimedia. In the near future we intend to make ICTan
integral component of our training modules. Intel Corporation
& Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) are our regular
partners in these endeavours.
