ICT and its advantages


                                               ICT and its advantages 

As a future teacher using ICT is best teaching tools for teachers. It will include all the types of learners in learning. ICT is interactive, fun, meaningful and interesting. And it is easy to teach using ICT. You can create teaching learning materials using text, word art, shapes, colors and images that will explore creativity in the students. Other than that teacher can type and edit question paper in Microsoft word and it can helps to create error-free documents. 

In the first session we had learned about digital natives and immigrants. As a teacher, should know who all are digital natives and what are the teaching strategies they prefer. Children now are digital natives and are obvious that they prefer ICT in learning. Teacher must know how to use ICT and accordingly have to apply the different types of teaching strategies to different types of learners.

And we have learned about technology integration. Integration technology with teaching means the use of learning technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement and extend skills while teaching. It’s the way their classes are conducted. I came to know that using projector or computer is not integration. So, to call as technology integration, teacher must follow up in everything they teach using computers. 

ICT is best method to teach the students. Students participates when the teacher uses different ways of teaching and ICT is one method to have active learning.
