ICT stands for information and communications technology.
It is an umbrella term that includes communication devices such radio, television, cell phones, computers, the internet, satellite systems, as well as the various services associated with them such as online learning.
By promoting ICT, countries can develop socially, economically, and politically.
The challenge lies in creating greater access information and communication in underserved populations.
Internationally, the United Nations promotes ICT as a means of bridging the gap between those who have access to technology and those who don’t.
Historically, developing nations were concerned with providing basic infrastructure such as water supply, electricity, and roads.
But today ICT is essential infrastructure too.
Take Kenya for example.
A few years ago only a small fraction of the population were within reach of a wireless network.
Today cell phone usage exceeds 70 percent-there are more cell phone users than adults in Kenya.
People who had no access to banking services now use their cell phones to pay bills and send money to their families.
One of the areas that can take full advantage of ICL is education.
However, introducing ICT into the classroom and getting its benefits are not automatic.
It implies setting up new curriculum and teaching practices.
Combining the traditional classroom model with e-learning solutions is still a novelty in many parts of the world, and teachers need to get used to their new role.
