The Conclusion?
As a whole, I find that use of ICT in schools is the way to go.
With the rapid advances in technology, the prevalence of using ICT in schools is indeed prominent. Not only does it gear the students for the future, it also creates an avenue for students to be more innovative and not learn strictly by the book. Using YouTube to search for videos on say Microorganisms, students can learn how the microorganism moves by watching the video.
Stepping away from the usage of simply whiteboard and marker, the use of iPads, tablets, and laptops engage the students in the learning processes.
Hence, I do believe that students are and will be better equipped with knowledge should they use ICT in schools. It is definitely a win-win situation as both teacher and student learn to use ICT.
Teachers will not be replaced by technology but teachers who don't use technology will be replaced by those who do. - Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach
