Information and Communication Technologies have become increasingly important in the education system over the past decade. Apart from supporting specific IT teaching, they are also used in developing certain basic learning skills like reading and number work, data handling, individualized learning, exploring knowledge through internet, self motivation and curiosity etc. Another use of IT in learning is currently undergoing trials in almost all the parts of the world. Integrated Learning Systems (ILS) into educational processes have largely taken place and education is now accessible to almost everybody who desired to be educated. These involve learning through rather than about IT, by providing structured, individualized Instruction. Using the system for short, regular sessions, learners progress through the programme at a steady but challenging rate. The system keeps a progress record, assesses the learner’s rate of performance, and produces reports for teachers, learners, and parents. This approach provides highly structured, targeted, and assessed learning for short periods of time. The use of Information and communication tools such as e-mail, fax, computer, Internet and video-conferencing overcomes barriers of space and time, and opens new possibilities for learning. The use of such technology is increasing, and it is now possible to deliver education and training to a widely dispersed audience by means of on-demand two-way multi-media instruction over terrestrial broadband networks. To make use of such potential technologies for effective learning, the teachers and teacher educators need to be trained and equipped with ICT skill. The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and the National Council for Teacher Education have been focusing on the ICT skills for teachers and initiated several programmes in this regard and even recommended a course outline for teacher education programmes in the country. The authors of this book have highlighted several aspects of ICT and its implications to Education with special reference to ICT skill based instructional processes. The Vice-Chairman, NCTE, Delhi and the Director, CEC-UGC, Delhi have gone through the chapters of the book and written foreword for the book. This book is recommended for Schools, Universities, Colleges of Teacher Education and research institutions. IT is a practical guide for integrating ICT in Education.
