Impact of ICT on Learning Environment

My obersavation on the ICT use in the teaching and learning situation is that the ICTs investigate reality and build knowledge. Learners using the ICTs in learning showed gains on measures of depth of understanding and reflectio. Learners use ICT to analyze, organize and creatively represent real information in constructing knowledge. The use of ICTs promote active learning and authentic assessment and they create conducive learning environment. There is great improvement` in teacher preparation to manage a class of learners who are using hands-on activities.

ICT resources are used to support learners to design and produce their own knowledge representations and thereby engage with powerful learning experiences.Learners have displayed more positive attitudes towards their classes and learning when ICTs are included in learning activities. Educational technology nas had positive effects on student attitude towards learning and on learners' development of skills in spelling, vocabulary, reading and mathematics.

Furthermore, the use of ICT overcome physical disabilities. The variety of input and output devices available provide the opportunity for learners who are physically handicapped to be actively in the same learning activities as other learners. ICT tools provide learning environments that reduce their level of disability.
