ICT Support

How important is ICT? (Information and Communication Technologies)

Increasingly, ICT permeates every area of our society and lives. Students need to be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to use ICT to support contemporary learning and living. ICT affords the opportunities to personalise learning and to learn both within and out of school.

An important outcome of schooling is the competence students develop in using ICT for tasks associated with information access and management, problem-solving, decision-making, communicating, creative expression, and empirical reasoning. ICT provides tools for transforming the way students think and learn as they support risk-taking and knowledge sharing; they are fast and automated, are interactive and multimodal and they also allow students to control how and when they learn. Equally important is the manner in which ICT is used, based upon an understanding of the limitations of the technology and the impact of technology on individuals, groups, communities and organisations.
