Information and Communication Technologies 

(ICTs) is a broader term for Information

Technology (IT), which refers to all communication technologies, including the internet,
wireless networks, cell phones, computers, software, middleware, video-conferencing, social
networking, and other media applications and services enabling users to access, retrieve,
store, transmit, and manipulate information in a digital form. ICTs are also used to
refer to the convergence of media technology such as audio-visual and telephone
networks with computer networks, by means of a unified system
of cabling (including signal distribution and management) or link
system. technologies unleashed an explosion with no history of ways of
communicating at the beginning of the 1990s. From there, the Internet went
from being an expert instrument of the community scientific to be an easy-to-
use network. Network that modified social interaction patterns.
Information and communication technologies [ICT] are understood as a term
to designate what refers to computer science connected to the Internet. And
also, especially their social aspect.
Information and Communication technologies are those computational and
computer tools that process, store, summarize, retrieve, and present
information represented in the most varied way.It is a set of tools, supports,
and channels for the treatment and access to information. They constitute
new media and channels to shape, register, store and disseminate
informational content.Some examples of these technologies are
the digital whiteboard, blogs, podcasts and, of course, the web. However, there
is no universally accepted definition of ICTs considering that the concepts, methods and
tools involved in ICTs are steadily evolving on an almost daily basis. To define
professional skill levels for its ICT professional education products, the IEEE
Computer Society has adopted, for example, the Skills Framework for the
Information Age (SFIA). The value of ICT strategies as a means of bridging the digital
divide and as a powerful tool for economic and social development around the world
should not be underestimated in agricultural and related sectors. Improving extension of
ICT services to farmers would effectively improve the transmission of global open data for
agriculture and nutrition for development of sensible solutions addressing food security,
nutrition and sustainable agriculture issues.By using ICTs, there have already “been
diverse types of innovations taking place in the agriculture sector, which include
commodity and stock market price information and analysis, meteorological data
collection, advisory services to farmers for agricultural extension, early warning
systems for disaster prevention and control, financial services, traceability of
agricultural products, agricultural statistical data gathering, etc." Despite the
power of computers to enhance and reform teaching and learning practices, improper
implementation is a widespread issue beyond the reach of increased funding and
technological advances with little evidence that teachers and tutors are properly
integrating ICT into everyday learning. Intrinsic barriers such as a belief in more
traditional teaching practices and individual attitudes towards computers in education
as well as the teachers own comfort with computers and their ability to use them all as
result in varying effectiveness in the integration of ICT in the classroom. There is
some evidence that, to be effective in education, ICT must be fully integrated into
the pedagogy. Specifically, when teaching literacy and math, using ICT in combination
with Writing to Learn [26][27] produces better results than traditional methods alone or
ICT alone. ICT skills are about understanding and applying a range of computer
programmes, software and other applications. These include: word processing,
spreadsheets, databases, power points and search engines.In additional to
technical skills, associated skills include creativity and analytical skills to apply
the right ICT skill to an activity. Basic ICT skills are required in any position.
