Intergration of ICT into classroom

Computer technologies play an essential role in how individuals work ,live and learn.Organisations of all sizes-even the smallest schools and businesses- rely on computers to help them operate more effectively and efficiently. At home, work and school computers help people to work faster, more accurately and in some cases in ways that previously were not possible.People use computers at home for education, entertainment,information management and business purposes.They also use computers as tools to access information and communicate with others around the world.In the classroom, computers and computer related technologies are having a profound influence on the way teachers instruct and students learn. Even the activities that are part of our daily routine-typing a report,driving a car,paying for goods and services with a credit card or using an ATM-all involve the use of computer technology.
To help schools better educate students,various governments are spearheading massive funding efforts to equip classrooms with computers,with connectivity to networks and with access to the Internet and WORLD WIDE WEB.Today teachers are educating students who will spend all their adult lives in a technology-rich-society. The challenge is the way forward in preparing teachers to meet the current situation-instructing students to cope squarely with the technology-rich-society.
