My Reflection on Importance of ICT in Classroom Teaching


Importance of ICT

After using ICT for several years, it made me realize that it is of great importance to us. It motivate students in a way gaining their attention like it did to me when I was in school. When I was in class 9 and 10, I took Computer Education which helped me to do better in other subjects. Using the knowledge from computer education I was able to browse related information which helped in other subjects. Similarly, FIT-101 which we studied in First year helped to prepare beautiful presentation as required in the past years. So, in the following paragraph I will be sharing some of the importance of ICT through my experiences

                                                    The First Presentation made in college in FIT class.

Finally, I realize the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is inevitable in current society. Starting from the economic to social interactions, it’s all about technology and students should be prepared for the information society. Some roles of ICT in teaching and learning that has been cited by practitioners over the years are to motivate students, to enhance instruction, to make sure students and teachers work more efficiently and to help students learn and sharpen information age skills. 


The technology’s visual and interactive qualities can direct students’ attention toward learning tasks and it enhances better information retention. It can also be used to illustrate real-world relevance through highly visual presentations. When students can see that high-level math and science skills have real life applications, it is no longer just ‘school work’, they are more willing to learn skills that have clear value to their future life and work. 


Moreover, students who see the application of what they are studying as authentic and real are motivated by the application to their daily lives. Besides that, ICT can be used to enhance instruction whereby interaction and instant feedback can be supplied to support skill practice. ICT also allow access to unique information sources; the internet connects students with information, research, data and expertise that might not be available locally. 


Teacher can also use many methods like PowerPoint presentation, video lesson, Google classroom, discussion forum, blogs, and We chat discussion, etc. Therefore, ICT has many advantages in the education system both on teacher and student. 


Thank you!
See you in my next update!!!

I believe that in the world of 21st century, all people, regardless of discipline or qualifications, should be technologically literate. We should be able to use computers effectively, and possess a basic understanding and knowledge of the theories and practice that makes our world technologically advance with various networking and data sharing.


Therefore, this blog will not discuss the subject matter only but also will be used to openly assess the role played by Information Technology or Computer in the teaching learning purpose. It’s a digital world.
