How has ICT Affect Education

Hello readers!! Today's post will be about how has ICT affect education!

ICT has spread to the whole worldwide and it’s becoming very famous these days in education. Information and communication technology has the ability to change the teaching and learning procedure and to attain more effective management and administration of school systems, schools, classrooms and non-formal learning environments. During the previous years, ICT has been enclosed into education and hugely impacted on how people are being educated nowadays. ICT is a fundament for revolutionary reform in education. Some believe that ICT has had a positive impact on education while others see it as having a negative impact on education.

ICT can provide worldwide learning facilities which means that everyone in different places in the world can learn through e-learning and visual learning through the internet. This benefits students as they can even study at home and be educated rather than wasting time to travel to school and only seated in the classroom. Not only that, students from abroad country or city who wished to study can be taught the same information and achieve the same degree as others do.

A lot of information can be seen and researched in the internet where ICT access has provided which helps in the understanding of concepts and theory’s. Students with access to the internet have an unlimited amount of information available to them at ease. This information can be available to them in many different and useful formats. Students are given the opportunity to communicate with other learners around the world and to use real-time chatting to share opinions and thoughts with other students. They can also send or find information anytime as long as the internet is working. Those students who have not been able to achieve good education can now be reached through these technologies. Besides, ICT can be used as a substitute for almost everything in the class: pencil, book, encyclopedia, map, library and many more, which makes education more effective as it links many people around the world. Also, ICT will help students to understand more easily through presentations and diagrams rather than block of information.

Overall, I think ICT has brought millions of people benefits and advantages and it has affected education in a major way. Not only to help students, it lessens up the burden of teachers too where most of them can study online now.


That’s all from me. Thanks for reading and hope to blog again soon. (:
