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 and connects

us together 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 combined use of several media such as text,

graphics, audio, video, and animation whether in a demonstration or in a single application

for educational purposes. I am therefore compelled to include these technological media in

giving learners, instructions. Multimedia classes are more interesting than the traditional

way of teaching. A student can easily understand any topic when he/she practically

observes 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.
