EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY TO ICT: HOW INDIA IS ADVANCING IN EDUCATION. (original) (raw)

ICT is a subset of educational technology since these tools are utilized to create learning environments and support and enhance student learning. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are already pervasive in many facts of daily life. Nearly all commercial and governmental practices have undergone a fundamental change as a result of the use of ICT over the past two decades. Although not as significant as it has been in other disciplines, ICT is starting to have an impact on education. Being a very social activity, education has historically been linked to great teachers who spend a lot of time getting to know their students personally. The increased student-centered learning settings made possible by ICT in education frequently result in conflicts between teachers and students. But as the world quickly transitions to digital media and information, the importance of educational technology and ICT in the classroom is growing and developing in the 21st century.
