ICT can potentially make significant difference in improving the quality of education. The National Policy of ICT in School Education envisions and provides for the development of a holistic framework of ICT support in the school system. While there have several ways in which ICT in schools are being implemented, we need to optimally use and leverage technology to achieve quality and efficiency in all of the interventions. Under this theme, we need to find solutions on how best technology can be leveraged for both school and adult education and share best practices, if any.
• What are the usual problems faced by schools while implementing ICT integration?
• Are they viable solutions in dealing with general issues?
• What are the different experiences of States in this regard?
• What are the ways in which technology can be leveraged for both school and adult education and share best practices, if any.

I think we are pushing technology too hard in the schools. There are too many vendors, products and solutions chasing teachers. Also most are in the areas of readymade content and smoother administration. Very few are in the areas of fundamentally transforming teaching in classrooms. I foresee education products build around Internet of Things to make a huge difference in classrooms. Products that will make teachers and students do things, rather than just be passive consumers in classrooms.
