Application of Information Technology in Education
Information technology (IT) is the use of any computers, storage, networking and other physical
devices, infrastructure and processes to create, process, store, secure and exchange all forms of
electronic data.
Both education and learning are life time processes, they have no limit on when to start and stop.
In our daily lives we learn new things and this helps us in changing the way we leave. Education
provides us with information, and then we have to learn and process this information for our own
use. It is very important to make education accessible at any time by every one; this will help in
reducing on the level of illiteracy. Information technology has the ability of speeding up
information delivery, so this ability can be used in improving our education environment. With
the implementation of Information Technology, costs of accessing educational material are cut
down and it makes it easy for students to learn from anywhere.
The combination of education and technology has been considered the main key to human
progress. Education feeds technology which in turn forms the basis of education. It is therefore
evident that information technology has affected changes to the methods, purpose and perceived
potential of education.
Changes to learning:
Being able to access large databases of information fundamentally changes education, since
learners can now be creators and collaborators in the access and construction of discourses of
information. Due to their technological literacy, young people can derive cultural capital from
their understanding of modern information technologies, and thereby have input into educational
change.
The same technology also facilitates the rapid exchange of information by researchers on
specific topics, so that the speed of the distribution of information is greatly increased. The
increased access to huge amounts of data means students need help selecting, evaluating and
analyzing information, and they need to learn how to determine the currency, validity and

veracity of the information itself. All of these changes in learning have implications for teaching
practice as well.
Changes to teaching:
The highest level of change occurring in relation to information technology and education is in
the way teaching is increasingly being seen as occurring via the medium of technology, rather
than utilizing technology as an additional extra in the classroom. Information technology
particularly impacts course content and teaching methodology and the recruitment and training
of teaching staff as well as the content of courses. Information technology requires teachers to
learn new sets of skills.
Plenty of EducationalResources:
Information technology makes it easy to access academic information at any time. Both students
and teachers use Information technology to acquire and exchange educational material. For
example; teachers can easily provide visual and audio classes to their students using computers
and broadband internet. This breaks the boundaries of accessing information, because the student
will simply attend a lecture while not in a physical classroom. Also teachers can assign tasks to
students via electronic email or campus educational forums.
Instant Access to EducationalInformation:
Information technology speeds the transfer and distribution of information. Students can easily
access academic data using computers and new technologies like mobile phone application. IT
experts have coded educational applications which can be used by students to access information
very fast. These mobile phone applications are replacing some old methods like borrowing of
books in libraries, now days students can use Library mobile phone applications to download
books inform of e-books, so they have these books at any time which saves them time and helps
them read at any time anywhere.
Full Time learning:

3. Information Technology
3 | P a g e
Unlike in the past when learning was limited to a physical classroom, students and teachers could
only access academic information while at school. Today, all that has changed, a student will
access information at any given time of the day. It does not matter where they are or the time of
the day is. Information technology has facilitated online education, so you will find a student in
Africa will study the same course as a student in USA or India. And when it comes to getting
jobs, all these students will have the chance to compete for the same job.
Using audio and visual material as learning aids:
Information technology has changed the way we learn and interpret information. The use of
audio-visual education helps students learn faster and easily. As opposed to text and blackboard
notes, students get bored in this form of education. It is a human weakness, people do not want to
read text for so long, they get bored, so the introduction of audio-visual technology in education,
makes students enjoy what they’re learning.
Visual illustration using images on projectors helps a student understand the concept, because
some of these images are interesting and they look familiar to a student. Our brains tend to
remember visual illustrations easily more than text. This explains why you can easily remember
someone’s faced but fail to remember their names.
Long Distance learning:
Information technology enables students across the globe to study from anywhere through online
education. This has been possible due to the wide spread of cheap broadband internet in both
developed and non-developed countries. Unlike in the past, when some courses used to be
provided in developed countries, so for a student to study those courses they had to go through
the hassle of moving from their home country which was to expensive. Now days, a student can
have access to these courses online. Many universities have opened their educational curriculum
to the world. So at a small fee, a student can be part of that university. These students do the
same exams and are marked by the same teachers.
Sharing of knowledge:

4. Information Technology
4 | P a g e
Through online discussion forums, students can share knowledge, engage in intellectual debates
and generally learn from one another. Using information technology in education has basically
made it possible for students from all over the world to come together and share experiences, the
geographical distances notwithstanding. Information technology in education has also made
students develop an appreciation for cultural diversity and in turn, create a more tolerant and
unified world.
Proper recordkeeping:
It is possible to keep student records in a more systematic and secure manner using technology.
Unlike in the past when records used to be kept manually and there were many cases of lost files,
the incorporation of information technology in education has made it possible for safe and proper
record keeping. Retrieving of information has, therefore, become much easier.
Helping with the reports:
To analyze the growth and productivity of the campus, an institution needs to manage the
monthly reports. So that evaluating it they can make the best decision for all the stakeholders.
Reports are an integral part of schools but generating it manually in the shorter span of time is
very hectic and some prone to a calculation error. But using school ERP software school staff
can easily manage such laborious work in few hours and provide a deeper insight into each
operation so that school can take instant action.
Making better decisions:
Taking the right decision at right time is the vital part of every institution. But sometimes due to
lack of technology, it becomes harder for institutes to find out that which decision will impact
their institute, and which will not. When the school has a comprehensive information in their
kitty then it became easy for them to take faster and better decisions which benefit all the
stakeholders of the institution. All these things can be achieved by implementing school
management software in the institution.

Helping the authorities:
Normally, the most thankless job in a school is that of management. Nobody thanks you for a job
well done but whenever things go awry you are the first to be crucified or hung out to dry.
This is why the need of the hour is to find a system that works well for the management and
helps it perform its various tasks and responsibilities smoothly enough. The system is beneficial
for the school and college authorities in the sense that they can keep a tab on things such as
timetable, scheduling, and attendance with it. Things such as online assignments and
examinations can be conducted with a greater degree of smoothness and efficiency.
Communication-relatedassistance:
One of the basic functions being played by technology in today’s world is that it has made
communication a lot easier than what it used to be earlier. Education too cannot be outside the
purview of such influence as well. Communication is an important part of school as well and in
this day and age, it has become easier for people in a school to get in touch with each other as
and when it may be needed. School management software can help significantly as well as it
comes with an internal messaging system that can be integrated with texting, e-mail, and such
other external tools of communication.
Information Technologyhelps the teachers and administration to keeptrack
of all students in classroom:
Information Technology has given rise to various tools and application which can be used by
School administration and teachers to track the progress of individual students and the parents
can also be kept up to date about the achievement of their child. This technology can also be
useful for the teachers to help the students in their weak subjects and provide them some extra
time and notes. Thus IT has saved the teachers from old methods of maintaining student records
on books and registers.

Education using Digital Books:
Many schools have now digitalized their classroom, by encouraging the students to use
information technology to submit their tests, homework and assignments. The teachers also
promote the use of electronic books to read the lectures. These digital books can be read
anywhere in a café, on the train and at home according to convenience. This advancement has
played an important role in protecting our environment as less books means less cutting down of
the trees.
Information Technologyhas made education fun and entertaining:
In the modern world of today every student knows how to use computer, tablet and mobile
phones. The information technology can be used to direct this addiction in a positive manner by
introducing tablets and PCs in class room for the purpose of interactive sessions, to see the
relevant videos, share knowledge, to solve queries and concepts by using Facebook or What
Sapp private classroom groups. The use of this technology will make education more fun and
entertaining for both the teachers and the students.
Information Technologyhas made Education Accessible forall the students:
Introduction of virtual classroom has completely displaced the traditional classroom
methodologies. Thanks to this advancement now a student can attend lectures from any part of
the world, all he needs is a good internet connection and his personal computer. This technology
allows the student to study in their own comfort zone at any part of the day they like. There are
many sites which are providing free online education services like the Khan’s Academy which
allows the student to acquire education on any topic they like, irrespective of their age and
school curriculum.
Learner Styles:

7. Information Technology
7 | P a g e
A well-known concept to educators, Neil Fleming's multiple learning styles model suggests that
not all students learn the same way. Information technology addresses individual learning
preferences with its incorporation of rich multimedia. With just a few clicks instructors have
instant access to thousands of articles, images, audio, and video that enhance their presentations
and engage students? For instance, if a student has difficulty picturing a "yurt" –a quick Web
search yields informative articles, professional photographs, 3-D models, and videos about how
yurts are made, along with an interactive map showing where the structures are found.
Technology supports various approaches to visual learning, auditory learning, reading, and
writing through its interactive, kinesthetic nature.
ClassroomManagementand Interaction:
Information technology benefits the management of classrooms by its ability to create and
organize in a virtual space. Many schools have adopted Learning Management Systems (LMS)
that centralize aspects of courses in such a virtual space Teachers can post documents, eBooks,
media, and quizzes that are automatically graded. Assignments can be posted and submitted
online and grades can be viewed in a single virtual space. Students can access the LMS anytime
and never have to worry about losing a paper or carrying a textbook. LMS also facilitates
communication, interaction, and collaboration between students and teachers, providing
opportunities to send messages, chat, create wikis, compose documents, blog, and share
information much like social media sites.
Accessibilityand Wider Participation:
The emergence of online classes opens doors to many students who could not otherwise
participate in educational settings due to time and financial limitations. Working adults, parents
taking care of children, and students being home-schooled can earn diplomas and degrees while
on the road or from their homes. Online courses offer non-traditional students the chance to go
back to school and improve their lives according to their own schedule and at a lower cost than
brick-and-mortar institutions.
Immediacy to information:

8. Information Technology
8 | P a g e
IT has provided immediacy to education. Now in the year of computers and web networks the
pace of imparting knowledge is very fast and one can be educated anywhere at any time. New IT
has often been introduced into well-established patterns of working and living without radically
altering them. For example, the traditional office, with secretaries working at keyboards and
notes being written on paper and manually exchanged, has remained remarkably stable, even if
personal computers have replaced typewriters.
Any time learning:
Now in the year of computers and web networks the pace of imparting knowledge is very fast
and one can be educated .One can study whenever he wills irrespective of whether it is day or
night and irrespective of being in India or in US because of the boom in IT.
Collaborative learning:
Now IT has made it easy to study as well as teach in groups or in clusters. With online we can be
unite together to do the desired task. Efficient postal systems, the telephone (fixed and mobile),
and various recording and playback systems based on computer technology all have a part to
play in educational broadcasting in the new millennium. The Internet and its Web sites are now
familiar to many children in developed countries and among educational elites elsewhere, but it
remains of little significance to very many more, who lack the most basic means for subsistence.
Authentic and up to date information:
The information and data which are available on the net is purely correct and up to date.
Internet, a collection of computer networks that operate to common standards and enable the
computers and the programs they run to communicate directly provides true and correct
information.
Online library:
Internets support thousands of different kinds of operational and experimental services one of
which is online library. We can get plenty of data on this online library.

9. Information Technology
9 | P a g e
As part of the IT curriculum, learners are encouraged to regard computers as tools to be used in
all aspects of their studies. In particular, they need to make use of the new multimedia
technologies to communicate ideas, describe projects, and order information in their work. This
requires them to select the medium best suited to conveying their message, to structure
information in a hierarchical manner, and to link together information to produce a
multidimensional document.
Betteraccesses to children with disabilities:
Information technology has brought drastic changes in the life of disabled children. IT provides
various software and technique to educate these poor peoples. Unless provided early with special
training, people profoundly deaf from birth are incapable of learning to speak. Deafness from
birth causes severe sensory deprivation, which can seriously affect a person's intellectual
capacity or ability to learn. A child who sustains a hearing loss early in life may lack the
language stimulation experienced by children who can hear.
The critical period for neurological plasticity is up to age seven. Failure of acoustic sensory
input during this period results in failure of formation of synaptic connections and, possibly, an
irremediable situation for the child. A delay in learning language may cause a deaf child's
academic progress to be slower than that of hearing children. The academic lag tends to be
cumulative, so that a deaf adolescent may be four or more academic years behind his or her
hearing peers. Deaf children who receive early language stimulation through sign language,
however, generally achieve academically alongside their hearing peers.
Kids are the digital native:
Kids know technology better than most adults. It has become the easiest way they learn, because
it is such an integral part of their life. Engaging with technology in the classroom has not only
helped them learn better, but they also acquire multi-tasking skills. At this day in age, they
hardly know how to learn without it. This knowledge is important, because they would be way
behind in the real world without it.
With technology, there are no limitations:
Having access to other information outside of the book gives students many different ways to

10. Information Technology
10 | P a g e
learn a concept. Teachers can come up with creative ways to teach their students that keeps them
engaged. Technology has changed the learning environment so that learning is more hands-on.
Schools throughout the nation are diverse in income, and often kids don’t always get the
resources they need. The implementation of technology in schools helps close that gap.
Testing has gone online:
One protocol that schools don’t have control over, but must adapt to, is online testing. Testing
online is the way of the future, but it has a lot of advantages. Assessing students’ performance
can be done instantly with technology. Beyond seeing test scores in real-time, teachers can better
track and understand students’ grasp of the subject.
Technologyis necessaryto succeedoutside of primary and secondary
education:
whether we like it or not, technology is an essential concept to learn. Because it changes so
quickly, children are better off learning about it sooner. It is a primary part of every industry, and
there is no way around it. These days, technology means more than just learning basic computing
skills. Technology has made itself part of every aspect of our lives today, and the students who
understand it are the ones who succeed in the business world.
Conclusion:
The timing has never been better for using technology to enable and improve learning at all
levels, in all places, and for people of all backgrounds. From the modernization of E-rate to the
proliferation and adoption of openly licensed educational resources, the key pieces necessary to
realize best the transformations made possible by technology in education are in place.
Educators, policymakers, administrators, and teacher preparation and professional development
programs now should embed these tools and resources into their practices. Working in
collaboration with families, researchers, cultural institutions, and all other stakeholders, these
groups can eliminate inefficiencies, reach beyond the walls of traditional classrooms, and form
strong partnerships to support everywhere, all-the-time learning.

11. Information Technology
11 | P a g e
With increasing knowledge and technological progress of society; our country requires learning
skills that could help it keep pace with the development of science and technology. Educational
systems in a community and consequently education will not be able to separate from other
social institutions, national and international interactions widely known in the global village.
Education in the twenty-first century is the center from which all changes and developments
arise. Information technology in education needs a culture. This culture needs to be learned along
with the use of hardware resources.
