system.
ITC SOME UNDERLINE PRINCIPLE OF
1) technology does not exist in isolation.
2) ICT contribute at various point along a line of activity.
3) it is used in activities- the ITC used depend on the activities.
4)the output should be useful to the user self and other)
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES :
Information and communication technology has become with in a
very short time, one of the basic building block of modern society.
Many counties now regrade understanding ICT and mastering the
basic skill and concept of ICT as a part of core of education, alongside
reading, writing and new maracy.
UNESCO aims to ensure that all countries, both developed, has and
developing, has access to the best educational facilities necessary to
prepared young people to play full role in modern society and to
contribute to a knowledge nation .because the fundamental
importance of ICT in the task of school today , UNESCO has to
previously published book in the area as practical mean of helping
member state .

ICT AND EDUCATION:

STAGES OF TEACHING AND LEARNING
Teaching and learning are best thought of, not as separate and
independent activities, but rather as two side of some coin
interconnected and inter link. Studies of teaching and learning in
school around the world identities four board stages in the way that
teacher and student learn about and gain confidence in the use of
ICT.
DISCOVERING ICT TOOLS
The first stage that teacher and learner go through in ICT
development is a discovering ICT tool and their general function and
uses. In this discovery stage, there is usually an emphasis on ICT
literacy and basic skill. This stages of discovering ICT tool in linked
with the emerging approach in ICT development.

CHARACTERISTICS OF SCHOOL RELATED TONICT

DEVLOPMENT
Along with approach to ICT development noted above, there are
various characteristics of school or aspect of school leadership, that
rated to a school progress in ICT development. Below the general
description of the more important of this characteristics of school
that have an effect on ICT development with in school.
VISION
Vision refer to aspiration and goals of both individuals with in a a
school and the school system as a whole. as the school advance, and
mission statements should become clearer and provide a basic for
decision-making. mission statement should help individual members
of the learning community visualize a school aspiration for the future
act in harmony.
PHILOSOPHY OF LEARNING AND PEDAGOGY
Ways in which teacher and students interact and how the school in
Managed for learning are part of what is mean by school philosophy
of learning.
ICT IN EDUCATION
A CURRICULUM AND PROGRESS OF TEACHER DEVLOPMENT
These philosophies will necessarily characterize the way in which ICT
is incorporation into a school. A setting that is dominated by teacher
as the main provide of subject content is adopting a teacher
centred philosophy. The teacher controls the use of ICT in such a
setting as well. A learner centred philosophy, by contrast, describe a
setting where content come from a variety of resource, and where
project are chosen and design buy student.
ICT tools and resource area selected by student in ways that match
the aims of a project best. These contrasting approach to pedagogy
are sometimes refer to as instructive constructive respectively.
FACILITIES AND RESOURCE
The learning environment in which ICT is used requires certain
facilities and resources. Facilities include basic infrastructure such as
electrical writing, internet access, lighting air conditioning, and
space. Resource included various type of technological device from
computer and specialize tools like digital microscope. further
resource includ various type of software, as well as traditional tool
like books, video and audiotapes.
PROFESSIONAL DEVLOPMENT OF SCHOOL STAFF
In parallel with the curriculum for students, there must be
professional development of the staff with a school. The personal
productivity and professional practice of a teacher are enhance with
the use of ICT. Frist is an awareness stage in which teacher and staff
become ICT literature with regard to what technology is available
and it might be used. Second, as teacher and staff.
Learn basic skill, they begin to apply various ICT tools to their regular
tasks and project. Third, as teacher and staff become more capable
and confidant with ICT, they begin to integrated and overlap both
subject area and tools.
Last, in change in professional practice in which teacher are now
enable to design lesson to incorporate larger, more complex, real-
world project using ICT tools and resource. As ICT introduce into
school system, their tendencies to move from discrete skill training
to relative practice and interrogative professional development
seriously impact on ability of a school system to incorporate ICT in a
meaningful way.
ASSESMENT
Assessment include both assessment of student as well as overall
evaluation of a school system, two aspect that are intricately
interwoven. An improvement in the one should predicate an
improvement in the order. Means of student assessment should
reflect choices in learning pedagogy and an understanding of ICT in
the curriculum. For example, in the emerging and applying stages of
ICT, assessment may be linked to pencil and paper tests, where as in
the infusing and transforming stages project based portfolio may be
more appropriate each part of the school system needs to be
evaluate to determine its impact on learning. Assessment should be
inform practice and support the management of learning assessment
should be allow a system to determine whether outcome have been
met, and the reviewed and revised accordingly. budget allocation,
policies, and procedures for ICT should match vision, teaching
philosophies, and curriculum choice.
IMPLICATION ON EDUCATION
1.Children learn more, and enjoy learning more when they are
actively involved, rather than passive learner .
2. education work best when it concentrates on thinking and
understanding.
3. constructivism learning is transferable. In constructivist
classrooms, student create organising principles that they are can
take with them to the other learning setting.
DISADVANTAGE OF ICT
1. They are costly in term of paper and printing technology.
2. they need the service of expert.
3. they need to make lots of efforts to collect data.
4. they change the habits, opinions, tastes of the massage more
rapidly than other media possibly can.
5. high infrastructure and set up cost.
