Introduction

"The secret to mastery in any field is to forever be student" was rightly said by Martin Palmer. Although i did not fully mastered the lessons taught in this module yet i am very sure that this module helped me alot in three dimensional situations. It not only helped me to upgrade my ICT knowledge but also helped me to explore more on the topic which are very important to me as a Teacher and for better development of teaching process.

This module had helped me to think beyond the box and the particular setting of the education system. 

Important Lessons From the Module

Firstly, if i define the term Information Technology, it is the technology, the use of computer base information system and communications systems to store, process, transmit and retrieve information from anywhere and anytime.

Today, ICT has made easier to process knowledge and disseminate knowledge to the users. It has increased the efficiency of the knowledge professionals in organizing and managing knowledge.

Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) education is basically our society’s efforts to teach its current and emerging citizens valuable knowledge and skills around computing and communications devices, software that operates them, applications that run on them and systems that are built with them (MPICT, 2015). Therefore, I felt the importance and he; helpfulness of the ICT.

In the 21st century, an ability to work with information and communication technologies is becoming as essential to education, life and workplace success as "reading, writing and arithmetic".

After taking this module I realized that information and communication technology is the life blood of modern research upon which depend our economic structure standard of living and our progress. furthermore, as a teacher the use of ICT  empowers the teaching pedagogy for this 21st century. 

The discoveries and inventions in science and technology have improved the speed of     communication. By making use of available tools, ICT is helping common man to fulfill his needs. Today,ICT has become integral part of new era. As i learnt in this module about creating blogs, which helped me to explore more and interact with friends through such facilities were the best. 

The Google Drive was another important concept from this module. If i share one best thing i learnt about the google drive was storing  and saving the personal assignments and other resources safe and secured. 

From the google activity, i learnt many  web sites which is more useful to my teaching career. since i have used many educational websites mainly for primary students. As a teacher dealing with kids its important that i use the knowledge of ICT and make them engaged fully in terms of building their knowledge about fast changing world.   

By exploring  and learning on ICT, I  learned so many new ideas such as creating  quiz using wonder share quiz creator ,making video clips and tutoring through camtesia ,etc. therefore ICT has many scope in our education system which enables all the learners irrespective of their ages.



Conclusion

In a nutshell, i conclude that because of the ignorance we are not able to do the things that we already know as said by Nourma F Fauziyah. However, introduction to new concept especially ICT was felt utmost importance.

In future too, I would use ICT as a key teaching and learning tool as i enjoyed and felt its importance in our life
