Abstract:
Today’s children are growing in a globalized world where technology is
accessible by majority. The rapidly changing world wants the students to
improve their information gathering and analysing skill. collaboratively
working skill, sharing, and publishing their ideas and more importantly
learning from one another. A student now can learn physics from the best
teachers of the world through computer and internet. They can get exposure
to good practices from different corners of world. The expectations from
the students are changing and the emphasis is not on the rote learning as it
was before. Thus, in this dynamic world, it is very essential to include ICT
properly in the school curriculum and the administrators are increasingly
doing that too. But are they doing enough to leverage the technology?
ICT (information and communication technology) is a buzzword in teaching
and learning since early 21st century. The technological tools and resources
available for teaching and learning have increased substantially in the last
few years (Lenhart, Madden & Hitlin, 2005). From the last year, the
demand for technology has increased substantially in education. But the
increasing demand, the implementation and utilization of ICT puts some
bigger questions before us.
