Some of headers of schools may think that it is not necessary to have into their schools computer laboratory or smart classroom, because of the following reasons:

  1. In our school there is no combination of computer science
  2. A computer lab is very expensive, we are not able to fit all requirements
  3. No power in our school
  4. No specialists agents for installation, monitoring, and maintenance of these computer lab materials
  5. Appropriate required room   for computer lab
  6. Etc...

But all of these reasons are not at the same level of where the world developments arrive actually. So to change mind is necessary. Because ICT in classroom have to be:

  • a part of the lesson, not something helping a well conduct of the lesson
  • a big part in project-based learning
  • enhancing the learning experience and allows learners make connections to the outside world
  • giving learners a place to find resources and to create work products
  • Efficiently management of available ICT during projects takes planning and organization.
