WHAT IS ICT?
 -Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can impact student
learning when teachers are digitally literate and understand how to
integrate it into curriculum.
Schools use a diverse set of ICT tools to communicate, create, disseminate,
store, and manage Information, Some contexts, ICT has also become
integral to the teaching-learning interaction, through such approaches as
replacing chalkboards with interactive digital whiteboards, using students’
own smartphones or other devices for learning during class time, and the
“flipped classroom” model where students watch lectures at home on the
computer and use classroom time for more interactive exercises.
WHAT IS THE
PURPOSE OF ICT?
The Importance of ICT in Education
Today we do not need to go any further than our
own home or even room, to see some form of
ICT in our lives. Whether it be a computer,
plasma TV, or mobile phone, we all have them in
some part of our lives.
WHAT IS THE
IMPORTANCE OF
ICT?
Importance of Students Engaging with ICT
It is important for students to engage with ICT
so that:
1.Learn 21st-century skills and develop their ICT
capability and ICT literacy.
2.Improves their attainment levels.
3.Prepares them for an integrated society
dominated by ICT developments.
4.So that they learn the notion of using ICT as a
tool for lifelong learning.
 The presence of ICT in education allows for new ways of
learning for students and teachers. E-learning or online
learning is becoming increasingly popular and with
various unprecedented events taking place in our lives,
this does not only open opportunities for schools to
ensure that students have access to curriculum materials
whilst in the classroom but also allows them to ensure
students outside the classroom such as at home or even
in hospitals can learn.
ICT brings inclusion: The benefits of ICT in education is of
such that students in the classroom can all learn from the
curriculum material..
Key issues
 ICT training for teachers and students, can also
improve communication and collaboration between
teachers and their students. With the use of
technology, teachers can easily communicate with their
students through email, messaging apps, and online
discussion forums. This can help to create a more
interactive and engaging learning environment, where
students can ask questions and receive feedback in
real-time

AND COLLABORATION
The Advantages and
Disadvantages of ICT in
Education
 There are many reasons why you should use
technology in the classroom. There are also
disadvantages too.
 My personal reason is that technology to use in the
classroom should:
 Support subject learning
 Technology can be used as a tool for learning other
than a media for fun and;
 Enable you to develop student ICT capability and ICT
literacy alongside subject learning.
 Below I have outlined what I consider to be the
advantages and disadvantages of technology in the
classroom. In general, school technology should
always be used by students as a tool for learning and a
means to an end by teacher.
