ICT in Education

By Dayanghirang, Jameco A.

Helping hand in hand is a great way to achieve easily a common goal. Teaching with a purpose is a
teaching innovatively. There is a lot of factors that help the students to be fully equipped with knowledge,
skills, information, and more.

ICT stands for Information Communication Technology. ICT is widespread and essential to play a
meaningful role in changing and modernizing educational systems as well as the way of learning. It is part of
many aspects of our daily lives. It really molds the technological skills and literacy of a students if they are
being open to this kind of learnings.

According to the article, "ICT refers to the technology that access to information. It includes any
product that will store, restore, operate, or receive information in a digital form. ICT is similar to IT that ICT
focus more on communication which includes internet, wireless network and other communication
mediums. There are some examples of ICT tools, such as computing industry, telecommunications, and
electronic display. Essays, UK. (November 2018)"

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is the mode of education that use
information and communications technology to support, enhance, and optimise the delivery of information.
Worldwide research has shown that ICT can lead to an improved student learning and better teaching
methods.

Therefore, I am being into a favor that ICT must be teach by the teacher to a students and should be
added in curriculum. In order to adapt the learnings they needed especially this modern age and as a 21st
century learner, they should be fully aware and lietrate on how to use, create, utilize the information and
technology around them.

One of the impact of Information and communication technologies on the teaching that are currently
being used in education is to assist students to learn more effectively by providing teachers with access to a
wide range of new pedagogy. These technologies are also being used to enable teachers to do administrative
tasks more efficiently.

Aside from positive impact of ICT in education, there are negativities of it as well. Just like some
teachers didn't how to use technologies, teachers always depend on the information that searched from the
web, and students feel lazy attending class and lectures.

But above all, for education and generally speaking the purpose of ICT is generally to familiarise
students and teachers with the use and workings of computers, related social and ethical issues. It is
generally believed that ICT can empower both teachers and learners. It promotes change to education in
21st century. ICT not only transforms teaching but also the learning processes. The transformation gets to
increase learning gains for students that provide learners an opportunity to develop creativity,
communication skills, and other thinking skills
