It represents a ‘diverse set of technological tools and resources, used to communicate and to create, disseminate, store and manage information’.
Proper utilization of these technologies can bring revolutionize to re-establish educational goals, curriculum contents and effective teaching-learning methods. The importance of using ET/ICT for improving quality of education has been emphasized in India, right from NPE-1986. ICT has also figured comprehensively in the norms for schooling recommended by Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE), in its report on Universal Secondary Education in 2005, NCF-2005, NCFTE2009, National ICT Policy for School Education – 2012 and Digital India Campaign (2015).

Importance of ICT

The Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) can enhance the quality of education in several ways which included, increase in learner motivation and engagement, facilitating the acquisition of basic skills and by enhancing training of teachers (Haddad & Jurich, 2002).
The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has permeated in every walk of life, impacting the way people work, play and live. ICT has improved community life, and has provided opportunities to youth in solving complex problems, creating and sharingof new ideas as well as resources with colleagues and business partners, enabling them to participate in the global economy.
While ICT has impacted contemporary business and social practices globally, most educational systems around the world still engage in traditional teaching-learning practices that require learners to work individually, recall facts or perform isolated activities. Thus, ICT would play a pivotal role in reforming education and preparing students for the 21st century challenges, impacting the way learners access knowledge, research, communicate and collaborate with others.
