By:Sanaa Fatima
What is ICT?ICT stands for Information and Communication Technology.
O The concepts, methods and applications involved in ICT are constantly evolving on an almost daily basis. Its difficult to keep up with the changes because they happen so fast.
O While teaching our main focus is on the following three words behind ICT:
O - INFORMATION- COMMUNICATIONS and- TECHNOLOGY
O A good way to think about ICT is to consider all the uses of digital technology that already exist to help individuals and organizations to get information.
ICT in Education.O The creative use of Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) in education has the capacity to increase the quality of learner's lives by enhancing teaching and learning. In this presentation, the term ICT, includes computers, computer networking (the Internet and intranet), peripheral devices and multimedia, and the range of assistive technologies available for learners either in the form of CD or online.
Types of technology we currently have in our school
We are currently use the following technologies in our school: O Computers O Multimedia/ ProjectorO Digital cameras
What we are using?O ICT always help shape the learning
outcomes of the learners, it always motivates and encourages them, make them responsible, autonomous and gives them ownership of their work.
O When I’m talk about the learners of our section I’d say that they deprive this autonomy, power and ownership, because they are not the regular practitioners of ICT as we don’t own any lab.
Embedding technologies to enhance teaching and learning.
O The following technology tools I’d like to recommend for my section, as they are cost effective and can be easily used and understood by teachers and learners. Their selection won’t put the management in jeopardy.
Embedding software technologies to enhance teaching and learning.
