    Introduction, Overview

    of IcT

    Stands for "Information and Communication Technologies." ICT refers to technologies that
    provide access to information through telecommunications. It is similar to
    Information Technology (IT), but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This
    includes the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication mediums.

    In the past few decades, information and communication technologies have provided society
    with a vast array of new communication capabilities. For example, people can communicate
    in real-time with others in different countries using technologies such as instant messaging,
    voice over IP (VoIP), and video-conferencing. Social networking websites like Facebook allow
    users from all over the world to remain in contact and communicate on a regular basis.
    Modern information and communication technologies have created a "global village," in which
    people can communicate with others across the world as if they were living next door. For this
    reason, ICT is often studied in the context of how modern communication technologies affect
    society
    IT (Information Technology) encompasses all of the technology that we use to collect, process, protect and
    store information. It refers to hardware, software (computer programs), and computer networks.

    ICT (Information and Communication Technology) This concept involves transfer and use of all kinds of
    information. ICT is the foundation of economy and a driving force of social changes in the 21st century. Distance is
    no longer an issue when it comes to accessing information; for example, working-from-home, distance learning, e-
    banking, and e-government are now possible from any place with an Internet connection and a computing device.

    Role of ICT in learning :

    We are living in a constantly evolving digital world. ICT has an impact on nearly every aspect of our lives - from
    working to socializing, learning to playing. The digital age has transformed the way young people communicate,
    network, seek help, access information and learn. We must recognize that young people are now an online
    population and access is through a variety of means such as computers, TV and mobile phones. As technology
    becomes more and more embedded in our culture, we must provide our learners with relevant and contemporary
    experiences that allow them to successfully engage with technology and prepare them for life after school.
