Boosts teamwork and communication

ICT in education improves engagement
and knowledge retention:
When ICT is integrated into lessons,
students become more engaged in
their work. This is because technology
provides different opportunities to
make it more fun and enjoyable in
terms of teaching the same things in
different ways. As a consequence of
this increased engagement, it is said
that they will be able to retain
knowledge more effectively and
efficiently.
Tech can foster these skills. Teachers and students can remain
in touch even outside the school vicinity. Online lessons and
games encourage them to work together even apart. Not only
does it promote productivity; it also encourages responsibility
on both parties.
