Trends in teaching based on emerging technologies – a new perspective

Abstract: 

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a term that includes any communication device or application, such as radio, television, mobiles, computer and network, hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and applications associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning. The ICTs are often spoken of in a particular context, such as the ICTs in education, health care, or libraries. The term is somewhat more common outside of the United States. Many countries around the world have established organizations for the promotion of the ICTs, because it is feared that unless less technologically advanced areas have a chance to catch up, the increasing technological advances will only get them beaten up. The paper discusses the personal perspective and the ways in which technology can enhance learning and calls on educators to take a leadership role in determining the ways in which technology is used to support educational goals.
