Reflective Memo of School Computer Systems Upgrade
I found the topic necessary to explore since it touches on a critical element in modern
education. Information and communication technology is a new trend in education delivery and
culture between the teacher and the learner. Most schools in the United States have integrated
computer systems in their curricula, but some school still lag in acquiring updated systems which
ensure speedy and quality service delivery. That is the reason I choose to investigate the problem
of ICT upgrade in public schools.
The target audience was the ministry of education. It was easy to communicate with the
ministry since it is a government agency. Also, it was not difficult to analyze the need for ICT in
schools. However, I found it challenging to propose the solutions, especially on the systems
upgrade needs. Reason being I had to do thorough research on the computer specifications are up
to date and can be used together with some other non-essential devices. The efforts were worth
the need for the proposal and solution.
The information contained in the proposal can be applied in getting solutions to ICT
upgrades in schools. The data also explores the importance of educational technology in teaching
and learning. It found that schools even lack good computer library, let alone needing updates.
The proposal will, therefore, reach out to the government through the ministry of education to
come up with strategies and mechanism to improve the ICT situation in schools. Besides, it will

be the eye-opener for other education stakeholders, including the parents, teachers, and
management.
