ICT in Education

ICTs stand for information and communication technologies and are defined, for the purposes of this primer, as a “diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store, and manage information.”  These technologies include computers, the Internet, broadcasting technologies (radio and television), and telephony.                                                                                                    In recent years there has been a groundswell of interest in how computers and the Internet can best be harnessed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education at all levels and in both formal and non-formal settings. But ICTs are more than just these technologies; older technologies such as the telephone, radio and television, although now given less attention, have a longer and richer history as instructional tools. For instance, radio and television have for over forty years been used for open and distance learning, although print remains the cheapest,most accessible and therefore most dominant delivery mechanism in both developed and developing countries. The use of computers and the Internet is still in its infancy in developing countries, if these are used at all, due to limited infrastructure and the attendant high costs of access.             Worldwide research has shown that ICT can lead to improved student learning and better teaching methods. A report made by the National Institute of Multimedia Education in Japan, proved that an  increase in student exposure to educational ICT through curriculum integration has a significant and positive impact on student achievement, especially in terms of "Knowledge・Comprehension" · "Practical skill"  and "Presentation skill" in subject areas such as mathematics, science, and social study. However, you can see that there are many education technology solutions provided in the world which may cause confusion among educators about how to choose the right ICT solution. Let's have a look at the advantages and disadvantages of ICT tools for education and discover what kind of education ICT solution is suitable for your school needs. 3 MAIN ADVANTAGES OF ICT TOOLS FOR EDUCATION 1‧ Through ICT, images can easily be used in teaching and improving the retentive memory of students. 2‧ Through ICT, teachers can easily explain complex instructions and ensure students' comprehension. 3‧ Through ICT, teachers are able to create interactive classes and make the lessons more enjoyable, which could improve student attendance and concentration.

Ravin has written this book with an intention of making Today’s generation understand the real meaning of Love. Today, it’s all about roaming around, having sex and break ups. One doesn’t understand the meaning of these three words i.e. I love you and take it as a statement to compliment anyone. If they’re serious, their family doesn’t agree and vice versa. People are so frequent in changing partners as they change other grocery items at home. How easy it becomes when we have a relationship without commitment Isn’t it? But I tell you what, nothing is easy in life. Commitment and non commitment has nothing to do with feelings of a person. Love has lost its real charm and affect. We are so fast in falling in love again. We have become super practical in considering he didn’t have this quality so I left him. Today, it’s all about the choices. Earlier we didn’t have any. I ain’t targeting anyone but this is what I have seen in my life also. How do I define myself? Well, I’m someone who is die-hard romantic and can never break the heart of a person who truly value and love me. Commitment has a meaning in my life as I don’t believe in making it till the time I know I’m ready for it. 

People do live with memories- not sure how many and not sure how. Yeah they do live with memories. I know one of them. It is quite possible as Love holds different meaning for everyone who has experienced it.
