To determine what is the role of ICT in education, and the pros and cons of applying ICT in education. To impart ways on utilizing ICT as an instructional tool in teaching. To address the issues regarding the excessive use of ICT. To encourage the readers to become critical and reflective users of ICT who can evaluate the capabilities and limitations of the technology and of social, technical, and economical principles associated with its use
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has brought unimaginable changes to the lives our people. It transformed the way we live in our day to day lives as an individual. ICT made communicating with one another in as fast a blink of an eye. We are aware of this entire holistic works of technology that has been provided to us by the numerous inventions and discoveries in technology. Technology that made everything in the grasp of willing individuals who wish to seek knowledge and information and facts. As technology becomes more and more embedded in our culture, we must provide our learners with relevant and contemporary experiences that allow them to successfully engage with technology and prepare them for life after school. This now becomes the major challenge to our educational system. This module is designed for use of preservice and inservice teachers, and students who wish to know more about ICT. This provides a brief overview of some of the key topics in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education. The mission of this book is to help improve the knowledge of the reader on what is Information and Communications Technology. We aim to determine what really is “ICT” and its importance to education. This module also discusses the pros and cons of using ICT in education. The Goals of this module is to #1 to help you increase your expertise as a teacher and knowledge as a student. Goal # 2 of this module is to help increase your knowledge and understanding of various roles of ICT in curriculum instruction, and assessment. In addition, ICT is now an important content area in each of the disciplines that you teach or are preparing to teach. Goal # 3 of this module is to help you increase your higher-order, critical thinking, problem-solving knowledge and skills. Special attention is paid to roles of ICT as an aid to solving complex problems and accomplishing complex tasks in all curriculum areas. Now that we have stated goals for this book, we want to make clear a non-goal. This module is not designed to help you learn specific pieces of software. This material is for the sole purpose of discussing what is ICT and the effects of its usage as a tools for teaching. The information used in this module is based on the studies and opinions of authorities and persons in the field of Information and Communications Technology and Education. As you read this book, you will come to understand that ICT in education is a broad, deep, and rapidly growing field of study. ICT has the potential to contribute to substantial improvements in our educational system. To date, relatively little of this potential has been achieved. Moreover, the pace of change of the ICT field currently exceeds the pace of progress in making effective use of ICT in education. Thus, the gap between the potentials and the current uses of ICT to improve education.
cONTENT Introduction to ICT By Camille L. Pascual OBJECTIVES: To help the students or the learners become competent and more confident users of ICT which can make them a more effective, efficient and creative users of our technology in their everyday activities. To value the importance of having new discoveries by learning ICT, that can make work much easier and faster. To become a productive citizen of our community. PREVIEW Now a day’s technology and globalization really take place, even in our past centuries. Everywhere you go you can see them, the products of them, and how it affects everyone’s life in their daily activities. The application of ICT in our life really affects it most – which it includes radio and television, as well as digital technologies such as computers and the Internet, because it helps us to make our work more even and faster, that without the glance of these technologies you cannot say that your day or your life is complete. It is really great that technologies are have been created, how it grows faster and how it turns are world to become modernized and globally competitive with one another. CONTENT What is ICT? We hear a lot from people the term “ICT” is innovation in the technology but often, all we did know about it is just an exert of what it is really about. According to the studies, ICT is a coined term for (Information and Communications Technology - or technologies). It is an umbrella term that includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and applications associated with them, such as the Internet, videoconferencing and distance learning. Due to innovations, our society has been provided different ways to communicate with one another regardless of time and distance. People can now communicate with other person in different countries or state through the use of internet, email and instant messaging and video conferencing. Social networking sites like Facebook, twitter, instagram, YouTube, tumblr, has become a “Global Village” in which people can communicate with others across the world as if they were living next door. This are just some proof of the how dependent we became on the benefits of the innovations in Technology. It only shows that ICT (Information and Communications Technology) greatly affects our society.
1604 Mechanical calculators are manufactured for sale Records exist of earlier machines, but Blaise Pascal invents the first commercial calculator, a hand powered adding machine. The implication of this in Education is that it makes the computation much easier , faster and precise. 1801 Punch cards used for programming a machine Frenchman, Joseph-Marie Jacquard builds a loom that weaves by reading punched holes stored on small sheets of hardwood. These plates are then inserted into the loom which reads (retrieves) the pattern and creates (process) the weave. Powered by water, this "machine" came 140 years before the development of the modern computer. The implication of this in Education is that it is a command used for controlling data used for data processing applications. 1820 Charles Babbage starts his research Shortly after the first mass-produced calculator, Charles Babbage begins his lifelong quest for a programmable machine. The implication of this in Education; Since it is programmed for automatic operations it is easy to used and make the work even more faster. One good example of this are the computers. 1822 Babbage's Difference Machine Difference Machine was an automatic, mechanical calculator designed to tabulate polynomial functions. The implication of this in Education is that it is more advance. 1842 Ada Lovelace Although Babbage was a poor communicator and record-keeper, his difference engine is sufficiently developed by 1842 that Ada Lovelace uses it to mechanically translate a short written work. She is generally regarded as the first programmer. The implication of this in Education is that the calculators become more precise and advance; it is also being used in data processing. 1854 George Boole - father of computer science George Boole, while professor of Mathematics at Cork University, writes An Investigation of the Laws of Thought (1854), and is generally recognized as the father of computer science. 1890 Punch cards used in 1890 Census The 1890 census is tabulated on punch cards similar to the ones used 90 years earlier to create weaves. Developed by Herman Hollerith of MIT, the system uses electric power (Non-mechanical). The Hollerith Tabulating Company is a forerunner of today's IBM.
The implication of this in Education is that it is used for summarizing data or information, then later on, accounting. 1892 Printing Calculator William Burroughs introduces a commercially successful printing calculator. It is hand- powered but Burroughs quickly introduces an electronic model. Designed to be that to ease the boredom, for clerical works. 1918 Enigma Machine Invented An Enigma machine is any of a family of related electro-mechanical rotor machines used for the encryption and decryption of secret messages. The first Enigma was invented by German engineer Arthur Scherbius at the end of World War I This machine was used by the Germans with great success in World War II, but we had Bletchly Park Code Breakers! 1927 Vannevar Bush of MIT builds his differential analyzer The differential analyzer was a mechanical analog computer designed to solve differential equations by integration, using wheel-and-disc mechanisms to perform the integration. It was one of the first advanced computing devices to be used operationally. Using a set of gears and shafts, much like Babbage, the machine can handle simple calculus problems, but accuracy is a problem. 1941 Konrad Zuse builds a mechanical calculator to handle the math involved in his profession Konrad Zuse was a German engineer and computer pioneer. His greatest achievement was the world's first functional program-controlled Turing-complete computer, the Z3, in 1941 (the program was stored on a punched tape). 1944 The Havard Mark I is introduced The IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC), called the Mark I by Harvard University, was the first large-scale automatic digital computer in the USA. It is considered by some to be the first universal calculator. It uses a paper tape to store instructions. 1945 Computer De-Bugging Invented Early in 1945, with the Mark I stopped for repairs, Hopper notices a moth in one of the relays, possibly causing the problem. From this day on, Hopper refers to fixing the system as "debugging". 1948 Working towards store programs Teams around the world work on a "stored program" machine. The first, nicknamed "Baby", is a prototype of a much larger machine under construction in Britain and is shown in June 1948. The Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM), nicknamed Baby, was the world's first stored-program computer. It was built at the Victoria University of Manchester by Frederic C. Williams, Tom Kilburn and Geoff Tootill, and ran its first program on 21 June 1948. 1952 IBM's first commercial scientific computer The IBM 701, known as the Defense Calculator while in development, was announced to the public on April 29, 1952, and was IBM’s first commercial scientific computer 1964 IBM introduces the System/360 While a technical marvel, the main feature of this machine is business oriented...IBM guarantees the "upward compatibility" of the system, reducing the risk that a business would invest in outdated technology. 1969 Internet Invented Arpanet was the first real network to run on packet switching technology (new at the time). On the October 29, 1969, computers at Stanford and UCLA connected for the first time. In effect, they were the first hosts on what would one day become the Internet. 1970 Harvard, MIT & BBN Logon An Arpanet network was established between Harvard, MIT, and BBN (the company that created the "interface message processor" computers used to connect to the network) in 1970. 1971 Books & Documents Appear in the Public Domain – Internet Project Gutenberg is when they tried to create and store books and documents in the public domain available electronically, for free, in various eBook and electronic formats. Michael Hart gained access to a large block of computing time and envisaged that the future of computers wasn’t in computing itself, but in the storage, retrieval and searching of information.
1971 Texas Instruments introduces the first "pocket calculator It weighs 2.5 pounds, just a bit more than a bag of sugar!! Big pockets then? It was called the TI-58. 1971 Email Invented Email was developed by Ray Tomlinson, who also made the decision to use the "@" symbol to separate the user name from the computer name (which later on became the domain name). 1975 the First Email Client – Internet With the popularity of emailing, the first modern email program was developed by John Vittal, a programmer at the University of Southern California. The biggest technological advance this program was the addition of "Reply" and "Forward" functionality. 1975 the first personal computer is marketed in kit form The Altair features 256 bytes of memory. Bill Gates, with others, writes a BASIC compiler for the machine. The next year Apple begins to market PC's, also in kit form. It includes a monitor and keyboard. 1975 First Laptop The IBM SCAMP project (Special Computer APL Machine Portable), was demonstrated in 1973. This prototype was based on the PALM processor (Put All Logic In Microcode). The IBM 5100, the first commercially available portable computer, appeared in September 1975, and was based on the SCAMP prototype 1976 The First Royal Email is sent We know that the email announced that the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment in Malvern was on the Arpanet system, and was made from that base, but nothing about the actual wording. 1977 Stores begin to sell PC's But they are very very expensive! Companies strive to reduce the size and price of PC's while increasing capacity. Entering the fray, IBM introduces it's PC in 1981(it's actually IBM's second attempt, but the first failed miserably). Time selects the computer as its Man of the Year in 1982. Tron, a computer-generated special effects extravaganza is released the same year. 1977 the First PC Modem – Internet 1977 was a big year for the development of the Internet as we know it today. It’s the year the first PC modem, developed by Dennis Hayes and Dale Heatherington, was introduced and initially sold to computer geeks! 1978 SPAM Emailed – Internet 1978 is also the year that brought the first unsolicited commercial email message (later known as spam), sent out to 600 California Arpanet users by Gary Thuerk. 1981 BBC Computer The BBC Microcomputer System, or BBC Micro, was a series of microcomputers and associated peripherals designed and built by Acorn Computers for the BBC Computer Literacy Project, operated by the British Broadcasting Corporation. Designed with an emphasis on education it was notable for its ruggedness, expandability and the quality of its operating system. We had these computers at Denby Free in the Reception Classroom in 2000. 1984 The Domain Name System was Created Along with the first Domain Name Servers (DNS). The domain name system was important in that it made addresses on the Internet more human-friendly compared to its numerical IP address counterparts. DNS servers allowed Internet users to type in an easy-to-remember domain name and then converted it to the IP address automatically. 1987 the Internet Grows By 1987, there were nearly 30,000 hosts on the Internet. The original Arpanet protocol had been limited to 1,000 hosts, but the adoption of the TCP/IP standard made larger numbers of hosts possible. 1988 First Major Internet Virus One of the first major Internet worms was released in 1988. Referred to as "The Morris Worm", it was written by Robert Tappan Morris and caused major interruptions across large parts of the Internet. 1989 Proposal for the World Wide Web Written by Tim Berners-Lee. It was originally published in the March issue of MacWorld, and then redistributed in May 1990. It was originally called "Mesh"; the term "World Wide Web" was coined while Berners-Lee was writing the code in 1990. 1990 First Commercial Dial-Up Internet Access 1990 also brought about the first commercial dial-up Internet provider, The World. 1991 First Web Page – Internet The first web page was created and, much like the first email explained what email was, its purpose was to explain what the World Wide Web was. 1991 First Webcam – Internet One of the more interesting developments of this era, though, was the first webcam. It was deployed at a Cambridge University computer lab, and its sole purpose was to monitor a particular coffee maker so that lab users could avoid wasted trips to an empty coffee pot. 1995 Internet Shopping - Yeah! First, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption was developed by Netscape, making it safer to conduct financial transactions (like credit card payments) online. In addition, two major online businesses got their start the same year. In addition, two major online businesses got their start the same year. The first sale on "Echo Bay" was made that year. Echo Bay later became eBay. Amazon.com also started in 1995, though it didn’t turn a profit for six years, until 2001.
1996 Hotmail Launched – Internet Hotmail became the first web-based email service. 1998 Google Launched – Internet Google search engine launched 1999 SETI@home project – Internet 1999 is the year when one of the more interesting projects ever brought online: the SETI@home project, launched. The project has created the equivalent of a giant supercomputer by harnessing the computing power of more than 3 million computers worldwide, using their processors whenever the screensaver comes on, indicating that the computer is idle. The program analyzes radio telescope data to look for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. 2001 Wikipedia Launched Wikipedia launched in 2001, one of the websites that paved the way for collective web content generation/social media. 2004 Web 2.0 Arrives – Internet Coined by Darcy DiNucci, the term "Web 2.0", referring to taking part in the internet, blogging, chatting and social networking, as opposed to just looking at websites. 2004 Social Networking – Internet The term "social media", believed to be first used by Chris Sharpley, was coined in the same year that "Web 2.0" became a mainstream concept. Social media–sites and web applications that allow its users to create and share content and to connect with one another–started around this period. 2005 YouTube Launched – Internet YouTube launched in 2005, bringing free online video hosting and sharing to the masses. 2007 Mobile Internet Access The biggest innovation of 2007 was almost certainly the iPhone, which was almost wholly responsible for renewed interest in mobile web applications and design. LESSONS LEARNED The Lessons that I have learned in Information Communication and technology is the history of it, how it was formed from simple to complex from old to advance and from manual to automatic. As you can see nowadays even in past years, technology really have a great impact on us, technology have controlled us. Technology becomes part of our everyday life. Why? Simply, because we use it in our every work, that without it you cannot do your work or that without it you cannot say that your day is already complete. For example, I am sure in the morning everyone one of us when we wakeup we will look for our cellular phones or other gadgets and look what time is it, or look for any messages or even play with it. Another is that in offices you cannot complete your certain work without using any computers or gadgets that will comply with your work. The history of Information Communication and technology, I can say that thanks to them (the inventors) that they have invented this machines (the technologies), that it really helps us now especially for us students that nowadays this technologies were being used and utilized in school as a learning aid for an effective adaptation of learning and also for effective teaching. Technology really helps us students in gaining more knowledge, critical, analytical and comprehensive thinking, and to become more confident and socialize with other people. Technology has a really big contribution not just in us humans but also in our nation. EXERCISES Matching type Direction: Match column A to column B use the blanks provided for your answer.

Alapan OBJECTIVES: At the end of the topic, the readers should be able to: Learn the concepts of the pedagogical basis of ICT Determine the new patterns of learning through ICT Appreciate the value of learning pedagogical basis of ICT PREVIEW E-learning has combined as a new pattern for learning in the modern world. However, nowadays, e-learning expects to use a lot of materials by means of ICT like power point presentations, and prezzi presentations while studying a concrete discipline. Besides the pedagogy of e-learning has still been a research theme. The Educational process of discipline should be considered with a suitable pedagogy associated with e-learning. Therefore, it is important to note the interconnection of disciplines associated with the educational process of concrete subject. CONTENT With the development of powerful online technologies ICT is increasingly becoming a key medium for many distance educational domains or disciplines; among them is language learning and teaching or e-learning/teaching of foreign language on the base of ICT. Several disciplines are usually involved in the educational process, i.e. ICT, Course of Study and Pedagogy. ICT is the means available for delivery of knowledge. Hence, it forms the base subject or medium of information interchange, where search of information and communication processes take place. Otherwise ICT (Fig 1, zone 1) is the use of computers or electronic equipment to collect, store, use, and send data electronically. ICT refers to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications. It is similar to Information Technology (IT), but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the Internet, cell phones, and other communication mediums. The ICT expression was first used in 1997 in a report by Dennis Stevenson to the UK government and promoted by the new National Curriculum documents for the UK in 2000. Area of knowledge, which is studied in school, college or university, is called Subject of Study (zone 2). It composes a key discipline which determines the purpose of studying to acquire academic or professional skills. Pedagogy is about how to teach/learn (zone 3), i.e. it is the study of teaching methods, including the aims of education and the ways in which such goals may be achieved. The field relies heavily on educational psychology, or theories about the way in which learning takes place. The zone 123 determines interdisciplinary subject, in other words a branch of knowledge as a course of study, i.e. e-subject. The broad range of terms and abbreviations are used to characterise this zone number 123. In case of subject ‘foreign language studying’ this e-subject is called e.g.: NBLT – Network-Based Language Teaching; CAVL – Computer Assisted Vocabulary Learning; WELL – Web-Enhanced Language Learning; CALL – Computer Assisted Langguage Learning; TELL- Technology-Enhanced Language Learning. 
Fig.1 Information and Communication Technologies, Study Course and Pedagogy are the components of common e-subject Where: 1 - Information and Communication Technologies; 2 – Subject of Study; 3 – Pedagogy; 123 – ICT and Study Course and Pedagogy
In an analysis of the contributions of ICT to the teaching and learning process in the university the following findings can be mentioned: New technology - ICT can stimulate the development of intellectual skills. Students using new technologies concentrate more than students in tradidtoional settings. ICT promotes collaborative learning ICT can contribute to ways of learning knowledge, skills and attitudes, although this is dependent on previously acquired knowledge and the type of learning activity. ICT spurs ‘spontaneous interest’more than traditional approaches. The rapid growth of information and communication technologies has provided new opportunities for knowledge acquisition. It is a new pedagogic reality, which empowers both teachers and students and provides wide access to information and versatile sources of knowledge. The leading role belongs to Pedagogy as an educator leads the teaching process directed to the self-study of definite subject on the base of ICT application. Studying a Subject, i.e. Course of Study by means of ICT and impact of Pedagogy, composes a united e-subject, which can not be considered and treated separately . Importance of ICT By Jalene C. Galman OBJECTIVES 1. Appreciate the importance of ICT. 2. Show respect for technologies and used wisely ICT. 3. Initiate worthwhile assignments with technologies. PREVIEW ICTs stand for information and communication technologies and are defined, for the purposes of this primer, as a “diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store, and manage information.” ICT is increasing in importance in people’s lives and it is expected that this trend will continue, to the extent that ICT literacy will become a functional requirement for people’s work, social, and personal lives. ICT includes the range of hardware and software devices and programs such as personal computers, assistive technology, scanners, digital cameras, multimedia programs, and image editing software, database and spreadsheet programs. It also includes the communications equipment through which people seek and access information including the Internet, email and video conferencing. The use of ICT in appropriate contexts in education can add value in teaching and learning, by enhancing the effectiveness of learning, or by adding a dimension to learning that was not previously available. ICT may also be a significant motivational factor in students’ learning, and can support students’ engagement with collaborative learning. CONTENT I. Importance of ICT A. The use of ICT's help improve the quality of education? ICTs can enhance the quality of education in several ways: by increasing learner motivation and engagement by facilitating the acquisition of basic skills, and by enhancing teacher training. ICTs are also transformational tools which, when used appropriately, can promote the shift to a learner-centered environment. Motivating to learn. ICTs such as videos, television and multimedia computer software that combine text, sound, and colorful, moving images can be used to provide challenging and authentic content that will engage the student in the learning process. Interactive radio likewise makes use of sound effects, songs, dramatizations, comic skits, and other performance conventions to compel the students to listen and become involved in the lessons being delivered. More so than any other type of ICT, networked computers with Internet connectivity can increase learner motivation as it combines the media richness and interactivity of other ICTs with the opportunity to connect with real people and to participate in real world events. Facilitating the acquisition of basic skills. The transmission of basic skills and concepts that are the foundation of higher order thinking skills and creativity can be facilitated by ICTs through drill and practice. Educational television programs such as Sesame Street use repetition and reinforcement to teach the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes and other basic concepts. Most of the early uses of computers were for computer-based learning (also called computer-assisted instruction) that focused on mastery of skills and content through repetition and reinforcement. Enhancing teacher training. ICTs have also been used to improve access to and the quality of teacher training. For example, At Indira Gandhi National Open University, satellite-based one-way video- and two-way audio-conferencing was held in 1996, supplemented by print-materials and recorded video, to train 910 primary school teachers and facilitators from 20 district training institutes in Karnataka State. The teachers interacted with remote lecturers by telephone and fax. B. Benefits/Advantages of ICT a. General Benefits
Greater efficiency throughout the school. Communication channels are increased through email, discussion groups and chat rooms Regular use of ICT across different curriculum subjects can have a beneficial motivational influence on students’ learning. b. Benefits for Teacher ICT facilitates sharing of resources, expertise and advice Greater flexibility in when and where tasks are carried out Gains in ICT literacy skills, confidence and enthusiasm. Easier planning and preparation of lessons and designing materials Access to up-to-date pupil and school data, anytime and anywhere. Enhancement of professional image projected to colleagues. Students are generally more ‘on task’ and express more positive feelings when they use computers than when they are given other tasks to do. Computer use during lessons motivated students to continue using learning outside school hours. c. Benefits for Students Higher quality lessons through greater collaboration between teachers in planning and preparing resources. More focused teaching, tailored to students’ strengths and weaknesses, through better analysis of attainment data Improved pastoral care and behavior management through better tracking of students Gains in understanding and analytical skills, including improvements in reading Development of writing skills (including spelling, grammar, punctuation, editing and re-drafting), also fluency, originality and elaboration. Students who used educational technology in school felt more successful in school, were more motivated to learn and have increased self-confidence and self-esteem Students found learning in a technology-enhanced setting more stimulating and student-centered than in a traditional classroom Broadband technology supports the reliable and uninterrupted downloading of web-hosted educational multimedia resources Opportunities to collaborate on assignments with people outside or inside school d. Benefits for Parents 1Easier communication with teachers Higher quality student reports – more legible, more detailed, better presented Greater access to more accurate attendance and attainment information Increased involvement in education for parents and, in some cases, improved self-esteem Increased knowledge of children’s learning and capabilities, owing to increase in learning activity being situated in the home Parents are more likely to be engaged in the school community C. Disadvantages of ICT a. Blatchford and Whitebread One of the major barriers for the cause of ICT not reaching its full potential in the foundation stage is teacher’s attitude. According to Hara (2004), within the early years education attitudes towards ICT can vary considerably. Some see it as a potential tool to aid learning whereas others seem to disagree with the use of technology in early year settings. Blatchford and Whitbread (2003:16), suggests that the use of ICT in the foundation stage is “unhealthy and hinders learning”. Other early years educators who are opposed to offering ICT experiences within the educational settings take a less extreme view than this and suggest that ICT is fine, but there are other more vital experiences that young children will benefit from, (Blatchford and Whitebread, 2003). In theory some people may have the opinion that the teachers who had not experienced ICT throughout their learning tend to have a negative attitude towards it, as they may lack the training in that area of the curriculum.
After reporting the Importance of ICT, for me, “ICT is very important!” Information and Communication Technology has quickly become one of the basic blocks of modern society. ICT supports learners like me and also in our society. I realize ICT is effectively and efficiently to use in our country because without ICT we don’t have communication to each other and we don’t know the issues in this world. We don’t need to stop using technology but we can used this wisely to prevent the bad result of our over used the technology. As a learner, I really appreciate the ICT it because of more resources for my assignments, projects and research. As an educator someday, I will motivate my students on how to use wisely and effectively the technology and to appreciate the benefits of ICT. Nowadays, smartphones, tablets, android phones and computers are the trends in our country. I have a smartphone with free Internet in all sites and I’m so happy to have this because I have connection with my Family, relatives, friends and of course to my boyfriend I’m very thankful in technology because I do want I want to do but I learned I need to limit my myself to use technology before I being obsessed in social media, games and others made by technology. I conclude there are good and bad effects of using Technology. F. Activities/Quiz: 1 I want to store the name, address and telephone number of all my friends. What should I use?

Differentiate between the Pros and Cons of ICT in Education d.) Justify the importance of ICT in Education PREVIEW Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play a major role in creating a new and improved model of teaching and learning. A great number of studies have been conducted to examine the advantages and disadvantages of integrating ICT in the 20th Century era; the main focus of this topic is to identify both advantages and disadvantages of using ICT in Education CONTENT Benefits/Advantages of ICT in Education Here are some of the benefits which ICT brings to education according to recent research findings. General benefits Greater efficiency throughout the school.

More focused teaching, tailored to students’ strengths and weaknesses, through better analysis of attainment data Improved pastoral care and behavior management through better tracking of students Gains in understanding and analytical skills, including improvements in reading Comprehension. Development of writing skills (including spelling, grammar, punctuation, editing and re-drafting), also fluency, originality and elaboration. Encouragement of independent and active learning, and self-responsibility for learning. Flexibility of ‘anytime, anywhere’ access (Jacobsen and Kremer, 2000) Development of higher level learning styles. Students who used educational technology in school felt more successful in school, were more motivated to learn and have increased self-confidence and self-esteem Students found learning in a technology-enhanced setting more stimulating and student-centered than in a traditional classroom Broadband technology supports the reliable and uninterrupted downloading of web-hosted educational multimedia resources Opportunities to address their work to an external audience Opportunities to collaborate on assignments with people outside or inside school Benefits for parents Easier communication with teachers Higher quality student reports – more legible, more detailed, better presented Greater access to more accurate attendance and attainment information Increased involvement in education for parents and, in some cases, improved self-esteem Increased knowledge of children’s learning and capabilities, owing to increase in learning activity being situated in the home Parents are more likely to be engaged in the school community You will see that ICT can have a positive impact across a very wide range of aspects of school life. Disadvantages of ICT in Education One of the major barriers for the cause of ICT not reaching its full potential in the foundation stage is teacher’s attitude. According to Hara (2004), within the early years education attitudes towards ICT can vary considerably. Some see it as a potential tool to aid learning whereas others seem to disagree with the use of technology in early year settings. Blatchford and Whitebread (2003:16), suggests that the use of ICT in the foundation stage is “unhealthy and hinders learning”. Other early years educators who are opposed to offering ICT experiences within the educational settings take a less extreme view than this and suggest that ICT is fine, but there are other more vital experiences that young children will benefit from, (Blatchford and Whitebread, 2003). In theory some people may have the opinion that the teachers who had not experienced ICT throughout their learning tend to have a negative attitude towards it, as they may lack the training in that area of the curriculum. Another important drawback to using ICT in schools is the fact that computers are expensive. According to the IT learning exchange (2001), in most schools ICT will be the single largest curriculum budget cost. This may be seen as a good thing but on the other hand there will be little money left over for other significant costs. LESSON LEARNED I have learned that by the integration of ICT in Education there are a lot of things to consider knowing what it can do and because I am a future teacher I must know the upside down of ICT, the benefits and its drawbacks, and how it can help me as a student and as a teacher in the near future and also to help my students the proper use of ICT, because ignorance will lead to accidents we might be good at dealing with this subject but are we knowledgeable about its true use?, just like as technology advances, unless it brings with it an attitude shift towards learning, computers cannot be properly used to enhance education quality. The old models of traditional method of learning do not optimize the integration of ICT in education. To get maximum value from new technologies, there has to be a shift in the attitudes governing education. Educators and teachers have to figure out new ways to take advantage of the fast evolving technology, according to Gertrude Stein “Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense”. I believe in this saying because nowadays people tend to believe what they see without knowing the facts and because of this ICT become useless so it’s up to us future educators to take a stand so that we will be able to change the perspective about the use of ICT now that it is being integrated to the curriculum.
