5. teach students about the principles of technology and how to use basic information technology tools in their work and lives. 1. ICT TEACHER

6. Research has indicated that pupils often learn more when they work in pairs, so a computer lab should acknowledge that. Space For Sitting Away from A Computer 2. SPACE FOR COLLABORATION Given how inexpensive laptops and tablets are there days (relatively speaking), there is no need to cram as many desktop computers into the room as possible.

7. If the room is large enough, it must have the following:

8. DESK WITHOUT COMPUTERS These are necessary so that pupils can work with pen and paper, on a laptop or tablet, or have a discussion with someone. MINI LIBRARY This might comprise, for example, a drawer or rack containing some computer magazines, and a shelf containing half a dozen reference books about using Scratch, Python or HTML.

9. Easy Chairs These are for reading in, working on a laptop or having small group discussions. If you can establish a small library in your computer lab, easy chairs will encourage pupils to use it.

10. The RIGHT Equipment

11. 1. COMPUTERS common operating machine purposely used for technological and educational research.

12. 2. LAPTOPS a portable computer that can be easily carried around. It is a device designed for personal use and can perform various functions such as browsing the internet, creating documents, playing games, etc.

13. 3. PROJECTORS an object that is used to project rays of light, especially an apparatus with a system of lenses for projecting slides or film onto a screen.

14. LCD PROJECTORS They are commonly used in classrooms, boardrooms, and home theaters

15. DLP PROJECTORS Digital Light Processing projectors, employ tiny mirrors to reflect light and create images

16. LED PROJECTORS are known for their quick start-up and cool-down times, making them convenient for on-the-go usage. These projectors are popular for portable applications, outdoor movie nights, and casual home entertainment setups.

17. 4.PRINTER is a device that accepts text and graphic output from a computer and transfers the information to paper

23. High-Definition Multimedia Interface, a standard for simultaneously transmitting digital video and audio from a source, such as a computer or TV cable box, to a computer monitor, TV or projector . SPARE CONNECTORS

24. Flash drives / USB Drives is a plug-and-play portable storage device that uses flash memory and is lightweight enough to attach to a keychain SPARE CONNECTORS

25. TECHNICAL SUPPORT INFORMATION When something goes wrong, teachers need to know how to contact technical support, or at least how to report the fault. This should be made as easy as possible

26. TECHNICAL SUPPORT INFORMATION What are the other things that an ICT must have? bank of laptops or tablets that pupils can use as they require Ditto some cameras (with a video function as well, of course) Podcast/voice recorders Spare pens Paper to write on
