ICT for Development: Two Contradictory Stories of an ICT Initiative

In this study we have explored two different perspectives of one ICT project. The mainstream perceives that an educational ICT project for the aboriginal as successful, while the local aboriginals and teachers are not satisfied with the ICT project. By adopting the postcolonial theory and ethnography method, this study enables us to compare and contrast these two viewpoints. It appears that the paternalistic nature of the ICT project as well as the belief of technological supremacy contribute to the disparity between the mainstream and the locals.
