The purpose of this is to familiarise them with the tools and increase their interest in these tools before they teach.

They can provide feedback of these ICT tools for stability improvements (confidence building)

Teachers can watch YouTube videos to learn how to use these technological tools together; and teach each other how to use such tools and integrate them into the classroom setting (support tech group)
