ICT in classroom

The importance of ICT in classroom teaching.

                The use of technology (Information and Communication Technology, ICT) in education is inevitable in current society. From an economical and social point of view, it is argued that the labour market requires ICT skills thus, the students should be reared 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 productively and to help students learn and share information age skills. 

               ICT can be used to motivate students in a way gaining their attention. Teachers say technology's visual and interactive qualities can direct students attention toward learning tasks. Technology 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. Additionally, students who see the application of what they are studying as authentic and real are motivated by the application to their daily lives.
