ICT in Teaching-Learning Process
Ms. Sharma
21st Century is the age of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). All over the world, there is a trend to use ICT in the teaching-learning process. There is rapid shift of educational technologies and political force, so as to shape the structure of system of education across the globe. ICT is an important instrument, which can transfer the present isolated, teacher-centered, book-centered learning environment into a rich student-centered environment. This new type-learning environment developed by the ICT is called Interactive Learning Environment. ICT is a new paradigm of the teaching-learning process; it aims at transferring the old traditional paradigm of teaching learning to the new paradigm of teaching learning. Introduction of ICT into teaching-learning process has changed the traditional concept. ICT defines learning as natural, social, active, linear or non-linear, integrative and contextualize, based on ability and strength of the student. Hence, Use of ICT in teaching-learning environment can bring a rapid change in society. It is essential for the teacher to determine the best use of ICT in the context of culture, need and economic-social conditions. Educational institutions need to develop strategies, plan to improve the teaching-learning process and ensure that all teachers are well prepared to use tools for learning. The emergence of the knowledge-based society is changing the global status of education. It is the time to develop a new knowledge based global society.
The key to success lies in finding the appropriate points for integrating technology into new pedagogical practice, so that it supports more reflective self-directed activity. Designing and implementing emerging new technologies in higher education will enable to escape from conventional methods of teaching and learning.
Technology acts as a catalyst to support change in teacher's pedagogy. With new technologies, a teacher is no
