This document discusses the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education. ICT can help develop skills like critical thinking, teamwork, and communication. The strategy for implementing ICT in schools includes integrating it into educational activities, providing internet access, using educational games, and having teachers motivate its use. ICT may help children learn better and improve education quality, but its effectiveness depends on factors like the application and teacher training. Emerging technologies being applied in education include mobile learning, flipped classrooms, gamification, and virtual reality.
