This document discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. It defines ICT and explains that ICT in education involves teaching and learning using digital tools. Research shows that ICT can improve student learning and teaching methods by positively impacting student achievement in subjects like math and science. The document also explores how ICT can be used in early childhood education to support literacy, storytelling and communication skills, though it notes ICT should not replace other learning activities. Both benefits and challenges of ICT in education are presented, such as how ICT allows interactive learning but may also limit critical thinking skills.

WHAT IS ICT?

3. ICT IN EDUCATION
ICT in Education
simply means
Teaching and
Learning with ICT.

4. Worldwide research has shown that ICT can lead to
improved student learning and better teaching
methods.
A report made by the National Institute of
Multimedia Education in Japan, proved that an
increase in student exposure to educational ICT
through curriculum integration has a significant
and positive impact on student achievement,
especially in terms of Knowledge, Comprehension,
Practical skill and Presentation skill in subject
areas such as mathematics, science, and social
study.
BACKGROUND

5. THE USE OF ICT IN EARLY LIFE
EDUCATION
Children’s early literacy
and play experiences are
shaped increasingly by
electronic media (Luke
1999). So, in order to
empower children and
assist them in becoming
competent and active
participants in their
environments, they must
be given opportunities to
develop “technological
literacy”.

6. The use of ICT in early life education Contd.
* If used thoughtfully and
innovatively, it can help
children express themselves,
verbally, visually, and
emotionally.
* Also ICT provides a variety of
ways for children to weave
together words, pictures, and
sounds, thereby providing a
range of ways for children to
communicate their ideas,
thoughts, and feelings.

7. The use of ICT in early life education Contd.
* ICT can support writing for
young children as well as
reading or pre-reading skills.
* ICT can help children’s
storytelling skills such as even
children who are not yet writing
could dictate words to go with
their pictures, or they could
record their voices telling the
story, or be videotaped as they
tell the story and show the
picture.

8. Computers can play a
role in young children’s
early
childhood education
experiences alongside
many
other kinds of
activities.
Note: ICT should not
be seen as a way of
superseding or
displacing these kinds
of experiences.
The use of ICT in early life education Contd.

9. Some researchers
condemn introduction
of ICT in the early years
on the premise that it
promotes anti-social
behaviour like
isolation, aggressive
behavior,
Damaging effects of ICT tools on
young children

10. Exposure to unsuitable
content (such as material
of a sexual or violent
nature .
Also according to them ICT
use may displace other
important learning and
play activities.
So measures should be
taking by teachers to
manage the situation
Negative effect of ICT

11. Through ICT, teachers
can easily explain
complex instructions
and ensure students'
comprehension.
IMPACT OF ICT ON TEACHING
A

12. Through ICT, teachers
are able to create
interactive classes and
make the lessons more
enjoyable, which could
improve student
attendance and
concentration.
B
Impact if ICT on teaching

13.  It helps learning takes place anytime anywhere, any
place.

 It encourage a participatory or interactive learning
THE IMPACT OF ICT ON LEARNING
(STUDENT)

14.  It reduces paper work
 It saves cost

THE IMPACT OF ICT ON THE
SCHOOL MANAGEMENT

15.  Setting up the devices can be very
troublesome.
 Too expensive to afford
 Hard for teachers with a lack of experience
using ICT tools
 Over-reliance on ICT limits both students and
teachers critical thinking and analytical skills.
THE DISADVANTAGES OF ICT
Presented by: LYDIA IBIGBAMI

16.  ICT sometimes limit students’ imaginations,
 Students may be easily distracted from their
learning and may visit unwanted sites,
 Students tend to neglect learning resources
other than the computer and internet,
 Students may have less opportunity to use
oral skills and hand writing,.

17.  Despite their known limitations, ICTS
especially computer and the internet are
useful to enhance student engagement in
learning and positively impact student and
teachers performance and achievement.
CONCLUSION; THE FUTURE OF ICT
IN EDUCATION

18. In this part of our world ICTs
have impacted on our
educational practice quite in
small ways but that the impact
will grow considerably in years to
come and that ICT will become a
strong agent for change among
many educational practices is
certain.
So don’t be left out, Ignorance is
no longer an excuse make
Google, pinterest and other
resource websites your friend.
