Abstract

Thailand's society, nowadays, is promoting the country's policy to be Thailand 4.0 that aims to transform from an agro-industrial society into, previously, a heavy industry which now we are transforming, with supporting from the government, into an industry that relies on innovative development and innovators. This is a key reason for Thailand education management starting from the basic education level that is essential to prepare the nation's youth for this change in terms of social and economic conditions. 

          Innovation learning and information technology are essential in today's volatile global situations. The 21st century learning focuses on developing people with the ability to communicate, thinking, solving problems, using life skills and using technology. Innovation and ICT management development include developing the skills of administrators and teachers in the digital age, activities to develop Thai teachers' skills in various ways, such as, adjusting their context according to suitability and accessibility to training courses and developmentprograms. 

          Therefore, the schools are places to nurture and educate the nation's youth. Administrators, teachers and educational personnels must be ethical and discerning users and producers of innovation and information. It can be synthesized as a conceptual framework for developing innovation and technology management in six areas: 1) Safety 2) Access-access to innovation and technology, 3) Firewall-data protection, 4) Ethic-data ethics, 5) Technology-intelligent technology, and 6) You-technology consciousness.
