Lesson planning with ICT provides teachers three key benefits: it acts as a window to the outside world to motivate students; presentations can be made visually attractive to hold students' attention with variety in tasks; and a wide range of ICT tools are available. When planning lessons with ICT, teachers should check equipment availability, give clear instructions to students, stay on task and avoid plagiarism while keeping students safe online and having backup plans for technical issues.
