This document discusses the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in 21st century education. It begins by stating that students now need to be taught how to engage global connections and communicate collaboratively in a skilled way. ICT is then defined as newer digital technologies like computers and the Internet that can powerfully change and reform education. The document outlines how ICT provides interactive tools that can transform classrooms from teacher-centered to student-focused learning environments. It also discusses different ICT literacy levels teachers can achieve and examines the paradigm shift from traditional to ICT-based models of education. In conclusion, the document states that while ICT does not automatically improve teaching, it can accelerate and enhance learning when applied effectively.

3. What is ICT

4. ICT Revolutions in the 21st Century

5. The Reality
There is no going
back.
We live in a
connected wired
world
Students need to be taught
how to engage those
connections, collaborate &
communicate globally in a
fluent and skillful way

6. ICT: Information and Communication
Technology
ICT stand for Information and
Communication Technology which
include newer digital technology
such as computer and Internet
which are potential powerful tools
for educational change and reform.

7. Viewpoints
• According to Mr Kofi Annan, Ex Secretary-General of the
United Nations, Information and Communication Technology
has transformed education.
• ICTs provide an array of powerful tools that may help in
transforming the present isolated teacher-centered and text -
bound classrooms into rich, student – focused, interactive
knowledge environment.

8. Definition of ICT
• UNESCO defines ICT as “ the scientific, technological and
engineering disciplines and the management techniques used
to handle transmit information with men and machines”.
• According to the Digital video technical Glossary “ICT is
the computing and communications facilities and features that
support teaching, learning and a range of activities in
education.”
• The UK National Curriculum document in 2000 defines
“ICT as the technology used to handle information and
communication”

11. ICT Literacy Levels
ICT LITERACY LEVEL- I
• Initial: This level indicates that the educator has a level of awareness of the
potential use of ICT
• Teacher first begins to experiment ICT in the classroom at a basic level for
discrete lessons.
ICT LITERACY LEVEL- II
• Developing: This level indicates that the educator is increasingly aware of
using ICT to improve student learning
• Teacher now incorporate ICT into classroom at daily basis.
ICT LITERACY LEVEL- III
• Proficient: This level indicates that the educator is leader in the use of ICT

12. Types f ICTs
• Radio
• Television
• Telephony (Landlines/Mobiles)
• Computers
• Internet

13. Impact of ICT on Education

14. Why do we need ICT in Education

15. Modern Philosophy of Education
• ICT in education is a much needed vehicle of achieving the modern
philosophy of education whereby a student can decide on:
 WHAT he learns.
 WHEN he learns.
 WHERE he learns, and
 HOW he learns.
“Technology will not have a significant impact on students learning
until teachers change the way they teach.”
Larry Cuban, 1986

16. ICT based Teaching

19. ICT creates Opportunity
ICT can make significant
contribution to teaching and
learning across all subjects
ICT can be a tool for school
improvement
ICT is a core skill which is
essential for participation in
today’s society and economy
The effective and systematic use of
ICT is integral to the wider
educational strategy to bring about
further improvements in teaching.

Focus is on memorization of facts Focus is on what students know and can

Learners work in isolation Learners work in collaboration
Literacy in 3R’s – reading ,writing and
mathematics.
Literacy in 3 C’s– critical thinking,
creativity and communication skills
Print is the primary vehicle of learning and
assessment
Multiple forms of media and projects are
used for learning and assessments

26. A framework for ICTs in Teacher
Education

27. Contd.…
• This curriculum framework comprises four clusters of competencies
and four supportive themes.
• Four Competencies.
1. Padagogy :
• Teachers instructional practices and knowledge of the curriculum.
• Effective use of ICTs to support and extend teaching and learning.
2. Collaborations and Networking:
• Communicative potential of ICTs to extend learning beyond the
classroom walls.
• Development of new knowledge and skills.
3. Social Issues:
• Right and responsibilities.
• Access to technological resources.
• Care for individual health.

28. Contd…
4. Technical issues:
• Update skills related to software and hardware.
• Four themes
1. Context and Culture
• Use of technology in culturally appropriate way.
2. Leadership and Vision
• It is essential for successful planning and implementation of
technology into teachers education.
3. Lifelong Learning
• It is continuous process.
4. Planning and Management of change
• Careful management and planning is essential which is accelerated by
the technology itself.

29. Attributes of Computer Based
Technology
1. Multi-sensory delivery: Text, graphics, animation, sound and
audio
2. Active learning: Enhanced learner interest
3. Co-operative learning: Positive group/social interaction
4. Communication skills: One-to-one, One-to-many, Many-to-
many
5. Multicultural education: Linking students outside
6. Motivation: Greater learner engagement

30. ICT Tools
• Representation tools (MS-office package)
• Presentation tools (Power-point, Blogs)
• Search tools (Search engines, Web pages)
• Communication tools (E-mail, Social networks, Lectures, Video
conferencing)
• Educational sources (Digital Library, E-books and electronic
publications)

31. Good comes with the bad
Merits of ICT
• Ensures Lifelong learning
• Enables Distance learning
• Ability to perform impossible
experiments by using
simulations
• Video Conferencing- we can
consult many experts by video
conferencing.
• Online examination can
eradicate manpower issues
De-merits of
ICT
• Large costs involved
• A child’s imagination power
decreases or ability to imagine
vanishes.

32. ICT Challenges
• Teacher has to learn how to use a variety of ICT application
• Teacher has to use, adapt and design ICT enhanced curricula
• Teacher has to expand the content area of knowledge
• Teacher has to take new roles
• Teacher has to respond to individual students

33. To ‘’Tech” or not to “Tech” education is not the
question…
The real question is how to harvest the power of
technology to meet the challenges of 21st
century and make education relevent,
responsive and effective for everyone,
anywhere, anytime

34. Conclusion
• ICT doesn’t automatically add quality to teaching and learning
• ICT application can accelerate and improve learning (basic
skills, problem solving, information management, concept
development)
• ICT provides means of gathering, connecting and analysing
data about teaching and learning
