The Uses of ICTs in Education
ICTs like radio, TV and computers have been used in education in several ways: 1) For direct class teaching or as teaching resources to supplement teachers. 2) For general educational programming to provide informal learning opportunities. 3) Universities have extensively used radio, TV and online resources for courses accompanied by printed materials. 4) Teleconferencing allows interactive communication between people in different places using audio, graphics, video and web-based tools. 5) Computers and the Internet can be used for learning about technology itself, using technology to facilitate other subjects, or integrating technology skills with curriculum.
