Establishing ICT compentency standard for Malaysian teachers using the Delphi technique

Technology has tremendous potential to enhance learning across all disciplines and inculcate critical and creative thinking skills. However, in spite of huge investment on Information and Communication Technology over the past decade in various education initiatives, the potential of technology usage in Malaysian schools have not reached the desired level among teachers and students. What is the missing link for the realization of the expected return-of-investment?
