ICT in Education


Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can contribute to universal access to education, equity in education, the delivery of quality learning and teaching, teachers’ professional development and more efficient education management, governance and administration.




The field of education has been affected by ICTs, which have undoubtedly affected teaching, learning and research (Yusuf, 2005). ICT increases the flexibility of delivery of education so that learners can access knowledge anytime and from anywhere. It can influence the way students are taught and how they learn as now the processes are learner driven and not by teachers. This in turn would better prepare the learners for lifelong learning as well as to improve the quality of learning.
Access to information and communication technology (ICT) in education can help individuals compete in a global economy by creating a skilled workforce and facilitating social mobility. Policymakers emphasise that ICT in education has a multiplier effect throughout the education system, by:
  • enhancing learning and providing students with new sets of skills;
  • reaching students with poor or no access (especially in rural and remote regions);
  • facilitating and improving the training of teachers;
  • minimising costs associated with the delivery of traditional instruction; and
  • improving the administration of schools in order to enhance the quality and efficiency of service delivery.
 In teaching learning process there are also ways to make it more interesting of course by using ICT. We can use like, for example :
1.     1.  Wallwisher
Wallwisher is a simple in usage and effective tool easily integrated with traditional language course. Some time ago it was challenging and time consuming for teachers to prepare motivating communicative tasks. Nowadays ICT tools provide us with a vast variety of opportunities to evolve students. Undoubtedly, Wallwisher is among such bright tools. You can’t overdo with it. This online notice board maker suits both for class activities and homework. You need neither registration nor special skills to create your own notice board.

2.     2.  Prezi
Prezi is a U.S. software company, producing a cloud-based presentation software and storytelling tool for presenting ideas on a virtual canvas. The product employs a Zooming User Interface, which allows users to zoom in and out of their presentation media, and allows users to display and navigate through information within a 2.5D or parallax 3D space on the Z-axis.
