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.
