Information Communication Technology in Education
ICT Stands for "Information and Communication
Technologies." ICT refers to technologies that provide access to
information through telecommunications. It is similar to Information Technology
(IT), but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the
Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication mediums.
In the past few decades, information and communication technologies
have provided society with a vast array of new communication capabilities.
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.
However, you can see that there are many education technology
solutions provided in the world which may cause confusion among educators about
how to choose the right ICT solution.
This blog is created to cover the module "Information
Technology in Education" which i am currently studying in my course
(Bachelor of Educational Administration (honors). This blog gives information
