INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION

Abstract

With society's expanding knowledge and technological advancement, our
nation has to acquire skills to stay up with the advancement of science and technology. In
the global village, educational systems within a community and education as a whole are
inextricably linked to other social institutions, as well as national and international
relations. In the twenty-first century, education is the source from which all advancements
and improvements originate. A culture is required for information technology in
education. Learning about this culture is just as important as learning how to exploit
hardware resources. Information technology must be ingrained in the system; otherwise,
investments in and acquisitions of technology would be a waste of money. These
technologies should be employed as a method of information communication within the
current societal structures, despite the fact that they are in no way unbiased. But as human
social structures are always undergoing change and transformation, the educational system
is likewise subject to occasional adjustments. The underlying issue, however, is what
approaches should be used to ensure that educational systems in developing nations evolve
and advance in accordance with their own requirements rather than merely imitating those
of rich nations.
