Abstract

At IT for Change (ITfC), which works with ICTs and education, one focus has been to examine the capacity of digital technologies to support the goals of social justice and equity. ITfC has attempted to develop and strengthen understanding of the role that digital technologies can play in promoting a progressive education agenda. Results suggest that ICT enabled education programs with public (local) ownership and decentralized implementation are more effective in gaining support and engagement of teachers. The paper draws data from ICT in education projects, relating program design to the manner in which it supports teacher agency and autonomy.
