Creating a PLN proves to be an important activity, if we are expected to become a learning community. Even though it was a tedious exercise, I see myself benefiting considerably from this exercise, as many persons will be providing expertise and best practices to issues which each of us may encounter.
My school and practice should improve if best practices and good advice are employed.

Theoline Croft Module 1B 3 Activity 9 school_readiness
I have come to realize that for schools to ready themselves for ICT integration, that it takes much persuasion, buy-in and political will to complete this essential undertaking. While schools realize the potential of this integration, it remains the business of stakeholders; the principal, teachers, parents, the Ministry of Education and cooperate Antigua and Barbuda to see this through.
In these times of economic challenges, what little schools can do to ensure that the integration takes place will be the energizer to the programme. However, the Ministry of Education needs to 'take the bull by the horns' and ensure that policies to govern ICT is completed. Further, the training of teachers will be welcomed as well, to encourage the use of ICT in all spheres of the school.
