Module 10: Activity 3 - SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis is a method of analysing an audit to identify:

 Strengths - The human and other resources, skills and attitudes which are available in the school community that may assist the enactment of the school's vision.

 Weaknesses - The significant problems that can be identified in the school environment that may make it harder to enact the school's vision.  

Opportunities - The significant opportunities in the external environment that can be capitalized upon.

 and Threats -The situation in the external environment that could limit the success of the school plan.

At my school, there has been significant investment in ICTs, and teachers have an aesthetic appreciation of the value and use of ICTs however, there still seem to be some fear in integrating ICT in the teaching learning process.  Some teachers are at the emerging stage, some are applying and some are at the integrating stage.  My desire is that all the teachers become facilitators of learning and have the students learning in groups through exploration, engaged in authentic and multidisciplinary tasks, presenting their learning interactively, collaboratively and be assessed based on performance of real tasks. 

I think with the resources we have, human (three staff members being trained in ICT integration);support from community members and  tools (website, blog, camera, wifi, laptops),   Teachers can be trained to integrate ICT into regular pedagogy and to exhibit confidence in using ICTs.
