Technological innovation isessential for human development. From the printing press to the computer, people have devised tools for facilitating learning and communication. Technology is not inherently good or bad, the outcome depends on how it is used. Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
3.
Information and communicationstechnology (ICT) involves innovations in micro electronics, computing (hardware and software), telecommunications and opto-electronics micro-processors, semiconductors, fiber optics. These innovations enable the processing and storage of enormous amounts of information, along with rapid distribution of information through communication networks. Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
4.
It is acceptedthat telecommunication is a basic infrastructure necessary for economic and social development of a country. This is even becoming more strong than ever as information related economic activities are growing. Information and communications technology may be described as the support of the central nervous system of complex societies, transmitting and processing information and commands among the various parts of such societies. Internet plays a fundamental function in ICT role Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
5.
Information and communicationstechnology carries on high promise both in human and economic terms. Benefits could be obtained in: Education Job training Health care Food security Environment management Government efficiency And specifically in Science and Technology: Speed up dissemination of scientific results world-wide through scientific knowledge sharing and exchange Allows to set up of Virtual Labs for communications and remote instrument control Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
6.
Predictions indicate the doubling of computing power every 18 –24 months and the doubling of communications power every 6 months . Both are accompanied by huge reductions in costs and massive increases in speed and quantity. In 2010 more information can be sent over a single cable in a second than in 2000 was sent over the entire Internet in a month. Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
7.
The distribution ofInternet users show uneven distribution in India Connecting a major portion of the population is a challenge in so many regions . Limitations are the outdated public telephone network and the arbitrary high cost of the services. To beat this problem, solutions based on the most advanced techniques but with accessible costs have to be devised. Radio technology represents in many cases the solution.
Evidence hasconfirmed: ICT can make a significant contribution to teaching and learning across all subjects ICT can be a tool for school improvement ICT is a core skill which is essential for participation in today’s society and economy Direction of travel for ICT – The effective and systemic use of ICT is integral to the wider education strategy to bring about further improvements in teaching, learning and school management both in the classroom and beyond Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram

Familiarisation A teacheris becoming increasingly aware of ICT, and may have attended some INSET, but rarely (and often reluctantly) tries to use it in their classroom teaching. Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
19.
Utilisation A teacherbecomes increasingly aware of the benefits of technology, and begins to incorporate it into teaching, often “replacing” former activities with ICT alternatives. This begins to have beneficial effect on T&L, although use remains fragile and the teacher is often set back, for example by technical hitches. Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
20.
Integration A teacher is becoming increasingly familiar with appropriate use of ICT, and can integrate it into many aspects of their ongoing teaching. T&L begins to be very significantly enhanced. Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
21.
Reorientation Thepotential of the ICT is now exploited to move into new areas and approaches that could not easily be replicated by more “traditional” means. T&L begins to be significantly transformed. Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
22.
Evolution The developmentaland CREATIVE possibilities of the ICT are being fully explored. ICT use can grow and develop in response to the needs of the learner and the consequent teaching implications. T&L is very significantly transformed. Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram

While the majorityof teachers (92% primary and 92% secondary) are interested in developing their ICT skills and knowledge, many non-computing teachers feel overwhelmed by developments. Teacher Perceptions of ICT Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
87.
They worry aboutthe pace of developments, feel they cannot cope with the jargon associated with computers, and generally worry about their own lack of skills and knowledge compared to that of their own pupils. Teacher Perceptions of ICT Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
88.
Secondary vs. Primary Secondary teachers seem more comfortable with ICT and are more inclined to find it helpful in a variety of planning and management tasks. On the other hand, they are less convinced than primary teachers about the benefits to pupils. Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
89.
Losing control ofthe learning The majority of teachers first priority is to maintain order in the classroom and to have a controlled learning environment. Any suggestion of adopting very innovative teaching techniques such as using ICT is therefore seen as threatening this orderly pattern and therefore not desirable. There is a genuine fear amongst many teachers about ICT and scepticism of its value to their pupils (Cox, Preston & Cox, 2000) Barriers to Using ICT Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
90.
Barriers to UsingICT Inadequate resources Even if the above problems are overcome there is often a difficulty for teachers who have had some training to be able to use ICT because there are insufficient ICT resources in the school or there is not enough time to review then and plan lessons incorporating their use.

Need for developmentof the necessary skills at all ages, in all parts of society, to use and participate in ICT effectively. Such skills include functional and digital literacy, and the ability to be involved in creating and accessing content, as well as the ability to participate in an interactive electronic environment. Confidence also encompasses creating trust, safety and security in the use of ICT. Confidence in ICT Use Developed by: T. J. Ajit for IFPI Thiruvananthapuram
