Answer the following questions.

(1) What is the relevance of ICT in your chosen course?

ICTs are making dynamic changes in society. They are influencing all aspects of
life. Similarly, there is no doubt that ICT also brings a massive change in the field of
education. It makes the teaching- learning process effective and interesting. Such
technologies; cellular phones, computer, and network hardware and software, satellite
systems and so on, are used for educational purposes, namely to support and improve
the learning of students and develop learning environments. Teacher use ICT for
making teaching learning process easy and interesting. A competent teacher has several
skills and techniques for providing successful teaching. So development and increase of
skills and competencies of teachers required knowledge of ICT and Science &
Technology. The knowledge of ICT is also required for a pre-service teacher-- like me,
during their training programme, because this integrated technological knowledge helps
a prospective teacher to know the world of technology in a better way by which it can be
applied in future for the betterment of the students. Nowadays ICTs are transforming
schools and classrooms into a new look by bringing in new curriculum based on real
world problems, projects, providing tools for enhancing learning, providing teachers
and students more facilities and opportunities for feedback. ICT also helps teachers,
students and parents to come together. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation
(CCE) helps students as well as teachers to use more technology for making teaching
learning more attractive for the betterment of our future generation (Baishakhi
Bhattacharjee, 2016). Teachers must know the use of ICT in their subject areas to help
the learners for learning more effectively. So, the knowledge of ICT is very much
essential for the both prospective teachers as well as in-service teachers also. This will
help teachers to know integrated technology with classroom teaching.
