Program Title	Teaching ICT
Type of Program	Classroom Technology
Training Modality	This one-year workshop incorporates hands-on training, distance learning, and computer-based training. Participants may visit the U.S. WiderNet Program office depending on the needs and wants of the institution. Training begins with an intensive one- to two-week course by WiderNet staff, followed by months of distance training, online assignments and hands-on technical practice. As questions arise, answers may be sought through several avenues, including direct email with WiderNet staff, customized CD-ROMs with over 5,000 web-based sources and online discussion panels. The extended training model allows participants adequate time to apply their lessons in the field to increase long-term skill retention.
Description	This program trains participants to teach Information Communication Technology, preparing them for a position as a professor or as a teacher's ICT consultant.
Background Information	Young people want to learn how to use and apply ICT programs. With a trained staff person, your campus can begin to offer this coursework. The potential to promote communication among all its members increase exponentially with even a small amount of training in ICT education.
