Some States from Teachers…Some States from Teachers…
“Computers are very useful tools for preparing annual-daily lesson plans. It is more systematic than hand written plans.”
“I don’t use but it would be better to use”, “ “I review and use work sheets (prepared
through computers) on my lectures but because there isn’t any ICT facilities in the classrooms, I can’t use them.”
