ICT is the
information and communication technologies. “ICT in Education” means “teaching
and learning with ICT. Educational ICT tools is divided into 3 categories, they
are input source (visualiser, student response system, PC, application
software, tablet), Output Source (projector, display, interactive whiteboard),
Other (digital camera, digital recorder). ICT tools also have advantages
for education, such as, images can easily be used in teaching and improving the
retentive memory of students, teachers can easily explain complex instructions
and ensure students' comprehension, teachers are able to create interactive
classes and make the lessons more enjoyable. The other hand, it also have
disadvantages, such as, setting up the devices can be very troublesome, too
expensive to afford, hard for teachers to use with a lack of expensive using
ICT tools.
The Internet is not widely available in most LDCs, such
as radio and television have a much greater penetration than the Internet
throughout much of the developing world, and the substantial gap is not
expected to be closed soon. Radio instruction in formal education has been well
studied, especially the links between the use of radio in combination with
school-based educational resources and a variety of pedagogical practices.
Television has been utilized successfully as a mechanism for reaching
out-of-school youth in a number of countries, especially in Latin America and
China, and the results of such projects have been widely disseminated.
The example of online
tools you can use straight away, without needing to raise a purchase order or
barter for budget allocation. Wallwisher, allows users to build virtual
classroom Walls, in the sense you might be familiar with from Facebook, onto
which 160-character messages, web links, images, videos and audio may be
posted. Prezi, provides users with a large canvas upon which to pin text
slides, video clips and images. The finished product is leaps and bounds ahead
of PowerPoint in terms of style, engaging the attention of pupils who groan
with over-familiarity at seeing cheesy slide transitions on the whiteboard.
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) enables students to
develop and apply skills, knowledge and understanding of ICT in their
composing, responding and presenting, and as part of the imaginative and
critical thinking they undertake in English.
