2. Information and communication
Technology and Education
Technology has allowed individuals to obtain,
assemble, analyzed, and communicate
information in more detail at a much faster pace
than ever before.
According to Bruer (1993), learners must rise
above the rote, factual level to begin to think
critically and creatively. These increased
demands dictates changes in the way teachers
interact with the students.

4. ICT- more than a New Technology
ICT has become a personalized
commodity and the environment we are
operating in is more and more based on
information and communication
technology.
5. ICT has also been a driving force for
globalization, but it has also divided
the world into those who have and
those who have not, information rich
and information poor. The “digital
divide” is not only dividing people in
terms of availability of ICT but also in
terms of availability of education and
wealth.
6. Increasing access through distance learning.
Enabling a knowledge network for students.
Training teachers.
Broadening the availability of quality education
materials.
Enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of
educational administration and policy.
7. Teachers and students exploring the
internet’s educational possibilities are
termed “internauts” trailblazers on this new
educational frontier not limited by distance
or national boundaries .
8. What do they say about the use of
computers in education?
Computers in education enable us to:
Teach more effectively
Reach and teach more students.
Make the world our classroom.
Turn latchkey kids connected kids.
Get ready for the future.
9. Computers in education disable us
because:
Effective teaching all but disappears.
The digital world remains divided.
Students risk becoming antisocial.
Computers are a health risk.
Fundamental skills are sidelined.
10. How will the predicted changes affect
education and schooling in the future?
According to Lewis Perelman, there is
a strong case of education
transformation. He argued that
knowledge acquisition is no longer
something that happens only in school.
11. Education and Industry
“Jobs and skills should match.” One
of the deterrents in finding a job is
the mismatch of skills possessed by
the graduated and the
requirements of the job.
12. The basic features of the system are as
follows:
Students and trainees acquire technical and
vocational skills from TESDA registered programs
in schools and training centers, public and private.
After the training, the graduates apply for jobs and
get employed.
when they decided later to contribute their
studies to earn a college degree, the TVET training
they have completed will be credited in the college
course they will take.
