Social and Economic Maxims of ICT in Education

Abstract

ICT in education, in terms of terminology and structural composition, may carry out three basic components, namely education, information, and communication technology. ICT in education has its sole concern of identifying the most suitable and appropriate use of developed technology (both hardware and software) for serving the educational needs of society at a particular time and place. Education using ICT tools also aids in expanding educational opportunities to socially vulnerable section of people such as low-income groups, women, aged, and differently abled. This effectiveness of ICT in education depends on the presence or absence of the conditions and elements, facilitating or obstructing the proper flow of information and technological methods. Proceeding from simple to complex always provides an appropriate learning sequence. Hence, a wise teacher cares for a beautiful integration of psychological principles to logical organisation of sequence of activities in his teachings for social and economic growth of the community altogether.
