4. PRESENT SITUATION GLOBALLY
Technology has ushered in the information revolution in all
aspects of human transactions. The internet has changed the way
business is done, the speed at which new findings of any kind reach
all parts of the world in no time, and most of all, the prospects of
innovation and development it has thrown. In such a scenario, no
domain is likely to remain unaffected by its enormous force. ICT is
the new idiom of change in the way the world operates today. While
the world is making giant strides into the future, education has no
way out but to keep pace with it. How can education keep pace with
a world which continues to accelerate its growth at unimaginable
rapidity.
Education will need to make use of the ICT revolution and
invest itself heavily into it by integrating it in all its core processes-
teaching, learning, evaluation, research and administration. ICT in
education is not a new trend to be followed but it is a way in which
education is defined today and more importantly, preserving its
relevance in the 21st century.

5. PRESENT SITUATION NIGERIA
In the present day society, computer is no longer a
specialized tool used only by scientists but an instrument now been
extended to education, commerce, banking, industry,
administration, governance, health sector to mention a few.
Nigeria as a developing nation is getting stronger by the day
but one important index of strength is the quality of education
provided her citizenry. Today, in most developed countries, nearly
every aspect of human life including education is ICT driven. The
education sector in Nigeria still lags behind in this aspect of
technology.
It is quite obvious that in spite of the copious exposure to
computer education as a general studies course in Nigerian
universities, more than 80% of Nigerian undergraduates and
graduates are unable to adequately utilize the computer and more
than 90% by conservative estimate of the Nigerian secondary
school students are unable to use computer, while at the primary
school level, less than 5% of the total population is computer
literate

6. The reason for this is not farfetched. The teachers teaching
these students and pupils are not skilled in computer education
and application. This calls for the urgent need to address the
present situation as teachers constitute a major influence on the
use of ICT in the teaching and learning process.

7. DEFINATION
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
can broadly be defined as the tools, facilities, processes,
and equipment that provide the required environment with
physical infrastructure and the services for the generation,
transmission, processing, storing and disseminating of
information in all forms including voice, text, data,
graphics and video.
From the definition, ICT has a role to play in any
country’s educational development. The ideal and plan of
using the computer as a learning tool has been around
since the advent of computes

8. EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE
ICT MATERIALS USED
Radio
Telephone
 Multimedia Projector
Closed – Circuit Television
Screen Functional computers
Internet connected computers
Standby generators
Interactive CDs

9. In online classroom, the student logs into his or her tutor
through the use of internet at home. The student asks the
question and teacher replies it by writing on smart board or
using PowerPoint presentation.
In this flat form the learners interact, the teacher can be
in another state or country, but with the aid of ICT in education
he can teach his students, they can summit their assignments to
him and he marks and return them back to them online.
The teacher can also take attendance of the classroom
and also ask the learners question and the learners can also ask
the teachers question.
The class is much similar to the teacher been present in
their mix because he sees everyone in the classroom.

12. THE USE OF MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
The projector is been used in teaching and presentation, deliver
premium
lectures and seminars to its students.
Since the use of projectors was installed, students and faculty
have experienced improvements in colour quality, brightness, speed and
ease of the projectors’ operation, it was reported. The projector helps in
enhancing its teaching and learning environment
The projectors, the education is able to deliver ‘global
classrooms’ which allow guest speakers from all over the world to speak
to students through Skype or Google Hangouts, the projectors' fast start-
up time (about seven seconds), classes can start immediately, giving
lecturers more time for discussion with students.
The projectors also offer operational benefits, reducing the need
for frequent filter cleaning and saving the costs of regular bulb
replacement the projectors’ light sources have an expected life of 20,000
hours.

15. THE USE OF INTERNET
The internet is used for research purposes, sending of
assignments to teachers mail box ( e.g. G-mail, Ymail, e.t.c,
searching for project topics, browsing of assignments e.t.c
Example of the internet search engines include
Mozilla Firefox, Opera Mini, Explore, Chrome e.t.c.
The internet can also be used on smart-phones i.e.
Android Phones, and other phones that can browse.
The Smartphone and other phones that make use of the
internet has so many uses for example you can browse your
assignment, search for other information's, you can also send
and receive mails.
It can either be the use of computers or the phones.

17. PROBLEMS OF ICT IN EDUCATION
Every minute a person spends learning how to use computers is a
minute that they're not devoting to learning the content of their
field.
There is a tremendous amount of bad information available on the
Internet, posing as good information. It takes a relatively mature
person to be able to tell the difference. For students, this can be a
major problem, because their motivation is often to get the
assignment done as quickly as possible (and ICT allows students to
get "information" very quickly) and they might well take the first 6
sources they find rather than taking the needed time to critically
evaluate what they're seeing.
Computer presentations (e.g. PowerPoint) can be made quite
"glitzy" without adding any benefit beyond what one could have
had with a simple overhead. These "glitzy" features most often
serve to distract the audience, rather than focus their attention on the
subject at hand.

18. It costs a lot, and once you're on the "technology treadmill" you've
got to continually re-invest to "keep up to date". I have bought 5 new
computers since 1986 (and I would have bought more, but
fortunately my college is now buying my office computers for me).
And I suspect I'm on the low end of new computer purchases. That's
about ten thousand dollars I've spent on computers alone; and my
college has spent and continues to spend hundreds of thousands to
provide this stuff to staff and students.
Pornography: can lead to criminal acts such as exploitation of
women and children can lead to sexual addiction or perversion, can
develop low moral value towards other men, women or children , can
erode good religious, cultural and social beliefs and behaviour
Slander: can develop into a society that disregards honesty and truth
can develop bad habit of spreading untruths and rumors can lead to
unnecessary argument can cause people to have negative attitudes
towards another person.

19. Solutions to the problems of ict in education
 The government should help in providing of computers in
education sectors so as to make learning easier and comfortable for
the learners.
 They should be laws guiding the use of ICT in education so as to
punish anybody that goes contrary.
 Students should be monitored in school very well to know what
they what they are up to.
 The cost for updating the computers should be reduced.
They should be the distribution of Anti Virus to fight against Virus,
worms and malicious wares that can stop the performance of the
computer system.
Parental guidance and school guidance is also advice able it would
help in reducing the problems such as Pornography, chatting online
on facebook, instagram instead of reading or researching.

20. CONCLUSION
ICT in education has both positive as well as negative
impact on Students and teachers, But it depends on how it is been
used by them.
ICT has made education more easier and simpler for
learning and teaching.
