The Integrated approach to Technology in Education (ITE) is a pedagogic framework for integrating technology in teaching and learning. It was first piloted in rural learning centres in East India in 2012. ITE provides children an opportunity to authenticate their learning at school using technology, while imparting crucial technological skills that are fast becoming requisites in the 21st century. The Tata Trusts ITE program is being implemented across seven states through 18 partners and direct project units. The geographical areas of the program are mainly resource poor, such as in tribal inhabited areas in Eastern and North Eastern States or in urban slums in Maharashtra and West Bengal. The program runs in supplementary learning centres, Madrassahs and public schools. ITEs objectives include bridging the digital divide; fostering digital citizenship, creating an active interest for learning; fostering Higher Order Thinking Skills and significantly improving pedagogies and learning processes. Technology is embedded in the teachers lesson plans and pedagogy. The teacher designs learning activities and students use technology to construct their own learning. Technology is used as a tool, rather than as an end itself. In the year 2016, the resource support of ITE has been assigned to CEIAR at TISS. The resource support involves capacity building, programmatic improvement and research support. It will also include managing ITE certificate program for ITE partners at TISS.
