MY PHILOSOPHY ABOUT ICT EDUCATION

ICT in education is an essential part of a modern study. ICT means Information and

Communication Technology. This world is based on pieces of information. Everybody

around the world is connected by the internet. Modern civilization can’t live without the

use of technology. Therefore, the importance of ICT education, is much higher than ever

before.

I believe that each learner is a unique individual who needs a secure, yet stimulating

environment in which they learn. In light of this, educators must be mindful that the twenty

first century learners are technology savvy, as a result it would be more effective to turn

their class into multimedia thus involving the use of technologies. I am therefore compelled

to include technologies in the lessons that I will teach. Multimedia classes are more

interesting than the traditional way of teaching. A student can easily understand any topic

when he will practically observe the topic properly. A teacher can easily describe the topic

by using a computer and a projector. I do not believe that in the near future, technology

will replace teachers, however, it will enhance the teaching experience and teachers will in

turn become facilitators who will monitor learning in order to clear up misconceptions and

keep students focused.
