Session 1 Activity----ICT-Innovation Example

Since the computer is invented, the Information and Communication Technology is then quickly emerged in a global level. Such kind of technology was first used in military. But now it has already been integrated into our daily lives. We make phone calls, search on the internet, meet each others via online videos,send message and so on. The world would be quite different without it.

In traditional, we only communicate with those people who are around us and get the information mainly from our teachers. The information we can get is so limited and may be out of the world tendency. When ICT is applied into education, it not only changes the way teacher teach, but also change the way students learn.Both teachers and students can get the newest information at any time in any places . Teachers' teaching methods are becoming various and interesting. Students can search what they curious about and get it immediately. ICT makes the learning more active. Take my experience on online learning as an example. I used to interested in watching videos online about open classes in other universities. This kind of technology various the way I learn. My learning resource is no longer limited in textbook or what the teachers know, but extended to other countries and other famous teachers that I can not meet. Even though sometimes we missed classing time by accident, we can still review it by videos or just watch it again and again. There is no more geographic or any time limits. It is a kind of innovation when compared to those traditional ways.

ICT not only innovate the technology, but also innovate our lives. So much examples can be found in our life. I believe that the ICT will develop to a great perspective just like we had never thought about its current situation in old days.
