ICT in Education Around the World
Trends, Problems and Prospects
Description:... In a world moving forward into an age evermore dominated by technology, the need to educate people--particularly young people and the teachers who teach them--in Internet and Communication Technologies (ICT) is becoming increasingly pressing. Information and communication technologies can play a major role in education itself, providing newer and more efficient means of teaching. These include distance education, and the facilitation of teaching methods in educational institutions themselves. No education system can afford to overlook the issue of developing an appropriate ICT-in-education policy and implementation strategies at a national system level. As this publication clearly demonstrates, introducing ICT into an education system is a lengthy and complex process requiring changes to the system itself, including leadership and organizational structure; infrastructure and curriculum materials; and practices and beliefs.
