1. IT as a subject ( computer studies);

2. IT as a tool to support traditional subjects (i.e., computer-based learning, presentation, research);

IT as a subject (computer studies):

• Computer science is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications. It is the

systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the

methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage,

communication of, and access to information.

IT In Bangladeshi Education System:

Now a days IT Education and Use of IT in Education both are very much important for Bangladesh.

Gradually we are developing and achieving the SDG. For the betterment and upgrading our education

system IT is the main regulator.

Use of IT in Bangladeshi Education:

1. Digital Classroom.

2. Free Internet for student.

3. Use of Laptop/Mobile device as textbook.

Digital Classroom:

The education initiatives by Access to Information Project

aim to make teaching and learning more effective and

enjoyable for both students and teachers using IT. a2i has

followed a 3-pronged approach in its efforts to remodel

education: establishing Multimedia Classrooms in secondary

schools, training teachers on making IT aided educational

content on hard-to-grasp topics and make electronic

versions of text books available in primary and secondary

levels including technical, vocational and Madrasa

institutions. As part of the education reform driven by the

Ministry of Education, a2i through public private partnership

has so far established 500 multimedia classrooms in

secondary schools and trained about 4500 teachers through

400 trainers of public training institutes.

Free Internet for student:

The Internet has introduced improvements in technology,

communication and online entertainment, but it is also incredibly

useful for education purposes as well. In Bangladesh internet is

becoming free for all university students by the authorities of their

university. Teachers use the Internet to supplement their lessons, and

a number of prestigious universities have opened up free online

lectures and courses to everyone. Some mobile network company

also providing the facility of free internet service for the students. This

is one of the major thing student need.

Use of Laptop/Mobile device as textbook:

New research indicates virtually all middle and high school

students have access to mobile devices and are using them for

schoolwork. inside the classroom most are using these devices for

school-related work , including: Accessing class information

through an online portal Taking tests online Using online textbooks

and Watching teacher-created videos Outside the classroom,

most are also using their mobile devices for school-related

activities. These activities include texting with classmates

specifically about schoolwork Other activities include taking

photos of assignments, finding videos to help with homework,

videoconferencing with classmates about schoolwork (Skype or

iChat) and collaborating over Facebook.

based on this IT sector. So our government should give more priority on this.
