Integrating ICT in Teaching and Learning in Schools

Computers and the Internet are increasingly part of the environment in which young adults grow and learn. Schools and education systems therefore need to reap the educational benefits of information and communications technology (ICT). Co- ordinated ICT policies are common at the school, district or national level. They help schools and teachers to keep abreast of the constant flow of technological novelty, and to manage the change and disruption that new tools may introduce. E-learning has grown steadily in recent years as an option for higher education and is expected to expand progressively around the world. Although data and statistics on e-learning are difficult to find, which makes it complex to accurately evaluate the extent to which HEIs have adopted it, almost all the existing evidence indicates a steady growth.
