This document discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. It notes that traditional English classes are often boring and lack technology. ICT in education refers to using diverse technological tools to communicate and create information. The document outlines how teachers can use technology resources like tutorials, exploratory tools, and communication networks to engage students and transform lessons. This shifts students into more active self-learners and knowledge managers, while teachers take on roles as designers, trainers, and collaborators. The advantages of educational technology include facilitating updated materials, interactive lessons anywhere and anytime, and giving students more control over learning. However, disadvantages can include distracting students with games or inaccurate information online.
