Introduction
The current systems employ
technologies by integrating ICT tools and
applications in education and is instruction ICT
stands for Information and Communications
Technology. This refers to various tools and
devices or gadgets used in communicating,
disseminating, creating, storing and managing
information. It is important that learners
understand how to use these tools in helping
them learn.
 A great part of learning is
working on information and using it to
create something that can be useful
and edifying for humanity. Since the
intention of education is to make "Technology will
learners become useful and productive never replace great
teachers, but
citizens, the use of ICT tools can technology in the
provide a lot of possibilities on how hands of great
learners can do something with what teachers is
they know. Teachers can therefore transformational."
employ ICT tools in their ways of -George Couros
engaging learners by communicating;
disseminating and managing
information. This direction of
integrating ICT tools will reveal the
usefulness of employing ICT Tools in a
wider range of the teaching and
learning process.
 It is not necessarily the presence of advanced
technology or the use of ICT tools that can ensure the
success in engaging learners, but it still remains that
the effective use of ICT tools depends on how the
teacher will use them. There is a variety of ICT tools
from which to choose. When employed appropriately,
the potentials of their uses can have bearing on the
lesson and the learner’s engagement in the process
of learning. In instruction, the ICT tools can be used
in the presentation of the lesson, demonstrating a
point or presenting a concept. There are tools that
can be used in providing practice or provide the
chance to apply the skills taught. Even when working
as a team or a popup, tools can be employed to
facilitate the accomplishment of the task during the
class or even after beyond the face-to-face session.
Activity:
Look inside your bags or your pockets and find out
the kind of gadgets you carry. Group yourselves
according to the type of gadgets, digital tools or
equipment that you possess. Those who may not
possess or not have brought any can be another
group Count the number of members belonging to
each grouping

The class can draw answers to the following questions:

1. What do the information gathered tell about the

group?
2. How would gadgets affect teaching or learning of
content?
These ICT tools, gadgets or equipment interface
with your ways of living. You use them to
communicate, you think using them, or you
create something with them. Others know
where your present locations is or who your
friends are. Technology works like a passage
that allows the world to see you or permits
you to get to see others as well.
 How do you describe yourself teaching a
lesson inside the classroom? What will you do
to engage student learning? Will you use
technology? Why or why not?
 If
you will employ digital tools
and gadgets such as mobile
phone, iPad or tablet, or the
usual multimedia projector in
teaching. How will you use
them? In what ways will you
use blogs or wiki space in
your lesson? Can Facebook be
useful in instruction?
Explore
Looking at the figure above, ICT integration in
education allows ease of processing of
information, effective accessibility to
resources, easy sharing of resources,
expression of creativity and effective
collaboration. All these are easily done using
the gadget you have in your pockets or
backpacks.

Let me walk you through the selection and

use of a digital tool and how you can integrate
it in your lesson.
A. Using Mobile Phone and the QR Code
Since ICT integration: allows ease of
processing of information, here's an example
of how we can read information at a quicker
speed and in an interesting manner
Have you seen a symbol like this one
below? This is now popularly used in different
products, reading materials, and even in
museums. This is a QR code

What is a QR Code?
Are you familiar with a QR
Code?
 Familiarize yourself with a QR Code. It is a code that was
created by a Japanese corporation Denso Wave in 1994.
Effectively and efficiently connecting the physical world with the
electronic world. QR stands for "Quick Response. It allows the
readers to decode the information at a high rate of speed. This is
popular in Japan and it is also used by companies as they attach
their QR code in the products. It usually gives a URL linking you
to a website or immediately provides the salient information
about the product.
You can easily read QR codes through a QR code scanner. Here is
all you need to do:
1. Have a mobile phone with a camera.
2. Using the mobile phone, download from Play store or App
Store the QR Code Reader Scanner application. Choose an
appropriate QR code reader for your operating system whether
IOS or Android. Once installed in your gadget, you can use it to
read the codes.
3. Focus your camera on the QR code. Click it and the message
will be revealed to you
More interesting than reading QR codes is creating your own QR codes.
How will you make your own QR Code?

Step 1:Be online

Step 2: Search for a QR Code generator and

ensure that you read the information about the
application. This is important to ensure your
safety in the internet. There are tons of QR
code generators out there, but a few of the most popular include Kaywa,
GOOR. me, Visualead, and QR Stuff. There are many FREE
applications online and therefore you can take this chance to use
them.

Step 3: Once you have identified your free online QR Code Generator,
you can now encode the text or the information that you want.

Step 4: Run it and save it as a jpeg file. Now, you have successfully
created your own code which you can download.

Step 5: Test the QR code using your QR Code reader or scanner.

 There is an apparent deluge of information around
and access to these is made easier through the
internet. You are faced with one major question on
how to best interpret it all and put it Into one
cohesive information that a quick and clear to read.
 In the teaching and learning context, you may be
faced with a challenging topic given a short amount
of time. How you capture and deliver that information
simply and effectively while making it engaging and
informative as well? Infographics are an immediate
answer to this situation. The infographic is another
interesting tool to use in instruction.
 As a group, study the infographic and agree on a
definition of the tool.

Using infographics:
1. Presenting
statistical data such
as from surveys can
be overwhelming.
Infographics can be
highly useful. Data are
much easier to
decode. They can be
made easier and
quicker to understand
if they are presented
in an infographics. An
example is given
here.
2. To simplify a complex concept
Simplifying a complex idea is the core
purpose of using an infographics. This is a
very effective educational tool as a way of
