TITLE OF PROBLEM

The issues and challengers in integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning in our Malaysian schools.

INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, the technology is growth tremendously without barrier. We can get all the information easily, efficiently and fast just only by using our fingertip. Technology is necessary and very important in the development of our country so that we are in the same level with the other develop country especially In education for the bright future of our lovely country. The government had introduced the uses of the ICT in education since in 2003 up till now.

DISCUSSION

FACILITATOR’S FILA

Facts	Ideas	Learning Issue	Action Plan
-Some of schools in Malaysia don’t even have a technician. -if present, we are lack of technicians. -Not all IT teachers know how to deal with the technician things. -not all computer prepared can be used as some of it is broken down and not functioning well. -Teacher always dealing with the problem of the uses of the projector that is not functioning well. -the period of  P&P process become short as the class start late because of the projector’s problem for example.	-Government lack of budget in providing technicians for each school in Malaysia. -Less interest to become a school’s technician as the salary is quite low. -ICT teacher only know the content of ICT for education, but they don’t really know how to fix the problem regarding all that technologies. - The equipments prepared are not in a good condition as it is left and not being used for a long period of time. -when the technologies like projector is broken down during class it affect and disturb the learning process.	-What is the factor that contributes to the lack of technicians? -Why ICT teacher only knows about the content but don’t how to overcome the problem related to the broken equipment. -Why the equipment like projector and computer for example is not used so frequently?	-The government should increase the salary of the technicians and open more options related to the study of technology. -School should send the technicians and IT teacher to join the technician workshop, IT programming and other knowledge related to ICT to increase the ability in handling the technologies. -Teachers should join the technician workshop so that they will know how to repair the broken equipment in school.

CONCLUSION

Although the technology is important, the management of those technologies should be done wisely in a correct way so that it will give us a good impact as we planned and we can minimise the costs of investment in implementation of the plan that involve technology equipment. Therefore as the ICT growth tremendously, it should go hand in hand with a good management in handling the technology.
