    0 Introduction

    In recent years, several studies and reports have highlighted the opportunities and the
    potential benefits of information and communication technologies (ICT) for improving the
    quality of education. ICT is viewed as a major tool for building knowledge societies
    (UNESCO 2003 UNESCO Communiqu of the ministerial roundtable on Towards
    Knowledge Societies and, particularly, as a mechanism at the school education level that
    could provide a way to rethink and redesign the educational systems and processes, thus
    leading to quality education for all.

    Modern developments in information and communication technologies (ICT) provide


    exciting possibilities to enhance the quality of education. Interactive education software, open
    access digital libraries, and cheaper and more intuitive technology may facilitate new forms
    of interaction between students, teachers, education employees and the community and
    enhance the quality of education by making it more accessible.

    2.0 ICT in Education

    Information and communication technology (ICT) has become, within a very short
    time, one of the basic building blocks of modern society. Many countries now regard
    understanding ICT and mastering the basic skills and concepts of ICT as part of the core of
    education, alongside reading, writing and numeracy.

    ICT is the Information and Communication Technologies. "ICT in Education" means


    "Teaching and Learning with ICT". Educational ICT tools can be divided into 3 categories:
    Input source, Output source and others. Worldwide research has shown that ICT can lead to
    improved student learning and better teaching methods.

    The very expression Information and Communication Technology has lots of ideas in
    it. It is not just using gadgets. The focus is on what is being transacted through this medium.
    We have information technology and communication technology. Managing of large
    quantities of information and communicating the same to the concerned people is the need of
    the hour. It is a very comprehensive expression. It is not limited to the computers or the
    internet. It ranges from the use of FM radio to the use of satellite for communication. It
    includes both the form and essence of communication. ICT has the potential to make learning
    more experiential. Moreover the large amount of data, visuals available on any topic can be
    brought to the classroom from all over the world. That is why ICT has been considered an
    emerging area with lots of potential for making educational process more meaningful.

    3.0 Various Applications of ICT in Education in the Classroom and Outside the
    Classroom

    4.0 Discussion of the similarities and differences between synchronous and


    asynchorous learning in the context of ICT in Education

    5.0 Discussion on the roles of ICT as an enabler of effective teaching and learning in
    the classroom and outside the classroom

    Technology can make the learning process more efficient without detracting from
    established educational objectives. Once the individual is proficient in the basics of reading,
    writing, computations and oral communication, then the learning experience can be further
    enhanced by calculators, distance learning, computer-assisted instruction using integrated
    learning systems, microcomputer-based labs, presentation software and telecommunications.

    6.0 Conclusion

    ICT allow for a higher quality lessons through collaboration with teachers in planning
    and preparing resources (Ofsted, 2002). Students learn new skills: analytical, including
    improvements in reading comprehension (Lewin et al, 2000). ICT also develop some writing
    skills: spelling, grammar, punctuation, editing and re-drafting (Lewin et al, 2000). Still new
    technologies encourage independent and active learning, and students responsibility for their
    own learning (Passey, 1999) ICT proves that students who used educational technology felt
    more successful in school they are more motivated to learn more and have increased self-
    confidence and self-esteem. It is also confirmed that many students found learning in a
    technology-enhanced setting more stimulating and much better than in a traditional classroom
    environment.
