This document discusses emerging learning technologies (ELT) and some of the challenges presented by their use. It defines information and communication technology (ICT) and explains its role in facilitating the teaching and learning process. Some examples of emerging learning technologies are mentioned, including blogging, integrated learning modules, podcasts, and wikis. Challenges to using ICT in education include limited accessibility, lack of teacher training and technical support, and inadequate funding. Suggestions are provided such as ensuring teachers receive sufficient ICT training and having adequate technological resources available.
