Research reports on the TELA Laptop scheme

The latest reports show teachers view laptops as a necessary tool for their jobs. The role of the principal in providing the necessary support, infrastructure, and expectation that ICT is part of the school culture is critical to their successful use.

The scheme has resulted in progress towards:

  • increasing confidence and expertise with ICT for many teachers
  • growing use of laptops for classroom practice and student learning activities
  • increasing use of laptops to strengthen communication and collaboration
  • efficiencies gained in lesson planning, preparation, administration, and reporting.
