Point of View
From the educator’s point of view, the function of ICT in schools is
NOT primarily to promote computer literacy,
or because technology is the ‘wave of the future’
Rather, the function of technology is to enhance teaching and learning.
Changes in the theories and practices of pedagogy, that is the basic elements which are considered to make up ‘good instruction’.
Tremendous developments in the capabilities of media technologies, both computer hardware and software, as well as the whole computer systems. These trends are likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
