Information and Communication Technologies (ICT, (Christensson, P. 2010) the use of technologies to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data or information.) are used in many and different different ways in different areas of work. They are helpful in a lot of things people do in their daily lives but also in more professional ways such as in bussiness or in school.

Some uses of the ICT are to learn how to integrate technology in our lives, to provide professional development opportunities, to share things with people, to accumulate knowledge, to inform, etc. But in this essay the author will explain the usages of the Information and Communication Technologies in school.

The main Information and Communication Technologies use in school are the TV, computers, Internet and even IPads in some schools, they may be used for presentations and demonstrations of themes over the projector.

Interactive games where students are able to learn while playing is also a very used and easy way for the ICT to be incorporated in school and education. Interactive books and notebooks fulfilled also this part.

Interactive and collaborative learning make the students an easier way to communicate during projects and an easier way to make students achieve their full potentials.

But not every ICT in this example are only for the benefit of the students, teacher and parents may also benefit from it.

Apps and special school pages help parents on watching the student progress and to receive mails and messages from school.

And for teachers, organization is was much easier and faster if done in a computer or any other technology.

Conclusion: There are many other ways for a school to use ICTs, and there may be more in the future, but here you can see some examples of technologies in their full potentials and the benefits they bring for the next generation of students. As you have seen, the ICTs aren’t just use to communicate and to give information, but to provide us with helpful ways on doing things we may not be able to do without them.
