Information Communication Technology in Education

Abstract: Information communication technologies (ICT) at present are influencing every aspect of human life. They are playing salient roles in work places, business, education, and entertainment. Moreover, this article recognizes ICTs as catalysts for change; change in working conditions, handling and exchanging information, teaching methods, learning approaches, scientific research, and in accessing information communication technologies. In this digital era, ICT use in the classroom is important for giving students opportunities to learn and apply the required 21st century skills. It has been observed that ICT improves teaching and learning and is important for teachers in performing their role of creators of pedagogical environments. ICT helps teachers to present teaching attractively. Today in India teaching training programmes are made useful and attractive in terms of ICT. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) exemplified by the internet and interactive multimedia are obviously an important focus for future education and need to be effectively integrated into formal teaching and learning – especially in teacher education institutions.
