A UNESCO ICTCompetency Framework forTeachersare defined as a tool/benchmark to determine thecompetencies of a pioneer/leader/innovative teacherand to develop a core of learning activities which can

be adapted and used throughout our member states.

Herein a Syllabus is adopted to set a detailed description of the knowledge areas and skill sets of

pioneer teachers. According to the pioneer teachers profile, the UNESCO TT Syllabus deals with

knowledge and skills related to four main areas of competence:

Pedagogy and ICT,

Collaboration and ICT,

Organizational development and ICT,

School innovation and ICT.

In the proposed UNESCO TT Syllabus, ICT is never seen as a knowledge area per se, the focus

being on the relationships between ICT and the four components of a pioneer teachers profile.

We envision great advances in the use of ICTs ineducation, worldwide, if we promote the conceptof building digital educational content usingmodern easy-to-use tools while serving such

locally-developed content through a school-based iTunes-like repository .

Students are then required to own handhelddevices to sync their customized class materialand take it away... think ofTake AwayEducational Resources!!
