Impacts of ICT in
Education
 How can ICT help expand access to
education?
Anytime, anywhere
ICT is their ability to
transcend time and
space. ICT make possible
asynchronous learning, or
learning characterized
by a time lag between
the delivery of instruction
and its reception by
learners.
 How can ICT help expand access to
education?
 Access to remote learning resources
Teachers and learners no longer have to
rely solely on printed books and other
materials in physical media housed in
libraries.
 How can the use of ICT help
improve the quality of education?
Motivation to learn
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.
 How can the use of ICT help
improve the quality of education?
Facilitating the acquisition
of basic skills
Transmission of basic skills
and concepts that are the Construction Simulator
foundation of higher order
thinking skills and creativity Design of Steel

can be facilitated by ICTs
through drill and practice.

Compter-Aided Design (CAD)

How can ICT help transform
the learning environment
into one that is learner-
centered?
Computers and
Internet technologies
enable new ways of
teaching and learning
rather than simply
allow teachers and
students to do what
they have done before
in a better way.
How does the use of ICT
help prepare individuals
for the workplace?
It includes digital age

thinking, higher-order
thinking and sound
reasoning, effective
communication and
high productivity.

Advantages of ICT
1. It creates an analytical mind of students that helps them study and
proffer solutions to problems emanating from all related fields that
employ it as a learning tool.
2. It accelerates economic development nationally as it is a virile
source of national income for all nations that have fully embraced its
usefulness.
3. Being an emerging academic field of study helps students be
innovative and develop new ways of solving problems scientifically.
4. It makes information storage and retrieval easy.
5. It enhances computer networking globally, known today as the
internet and intranet.
 Advantages of ICT
6. It makes comprehension of other subjects easy. Virtually all fields of learning are
amenable to ICT for teaching in the classroom.
7. It is pivotal to globalization in its entire ramification and the realization of the
millennium development goals.
8. It creates an avenue for the exchange of ideas and inventions among information
technology scholars locally and internationally.
9. It is the basis for e-learning and online library. Hence information dissemination is
easier than ever.
10. It creates gainful employment, hence a viable source of livelihood.
11. It is used at various offices for proper documentation of official activities and
administration.
Challenges of ICT
1. Expensive ICT materials: The requisite materials for practical
knowledge of ICT, especially at the advanced level, are costly,
such as computers, projectors, Internet machines, etc.
2. Highly technical and practical driven: It is technology-driven. It
requires a great deal of logic and analytical reasoning for in-depth
understanding and application.
3. Underdevelopment: ICT is a global concept. Vape shop has an
up-to-date knowledge of the subject. There must be technological
development nationally at least well-established global
information link on the subject. Many nations are yet to attain this.
Challenges of ICT
4. Poor orientation about the concept: The first challenge in embracing
ICT as a field of study for students who have no prior orientation from
their foundation education is speedy assimilation.
5. Intensions: Some persons use ICT for wrong purposes, such as
cybercrime and malicious programs that can cause severe damage
to computers and similar gadgets.
6. Acceptability: The subject is yet to be fully embraced by all learning
institutions from the cradle globally. However, it is now compulsory at
the high school level in some countries. Unless there is a solid
foundation and love for the subject, compliance may still take time to
attain in line with the global millennial goals.
