Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Integration
ICT Integration provides comprehensive interventions for teachers and school leaders, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively integrate technology into teaching and learning practices. Our emphasis goes beyond tool mastery, focusing on a deeper understanding of how digital technologies can enhance educational outcomes.
We offer diverse learning opportunities, including training courses, workshops, seminars, webinars, and conferences. Each experience is designed to be interactive and hands-on, even in our online offerings. Participants actively engage with the material, demonstrating their acquired skills and knowledge.
This approach fosters practical implementation and ensures new teaching strategies seamlessly translate into classrooms. Through our seminars, webinars, and conferences, we keep educators abreast of the latest developments in the ever-evolving field of educational technology. We present relevant topics, fostering discussions and collaborations that inspire innovation and continuous improvement.
All professional development opportunities offered by the ICT Integration Unit form a comprehensive developmental pathway. Participants embark on a structured journey, starting with beginner courses and progressing to intermediate and advanced levels. This path can culminate in university-accredited qualifications, providing educators with the knowledge and skills they need to become confident and effective technology-integrated educators.

ICT integration programme coordination
This unit has programme coordinators who ensure that all interventions (face-to-face or virtual) are effectively delivered. In doing so, they liaise with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that our mandate for teacher professional development is successfully achieved and that all participants have a meaningful and enjoyable experience.
IT infrastructure support
Part of the responsibility of the ICT integration unit, is to ensure that the Cape Teaching and Leadership Institute (CTLI) has the latest technology to support the operations of the CTLI. This unit is responsible for procuring and maintaining the CTLI’s ICT infrastructure, providing ICT support to all visitors and other CTLI units.
General support
The CTLI made a conscious decision to model the use of technology in all its interventions and in so doing we hope to foster the integration of technology in education. The ICT integration unit provides the necessary support and training to other units to ensure that this is achieved.
