How Students are Empowered by Information Communication Technology

In this modern world where technology is developing so fast, people adapt it. Some of the major changes it gives is that the delivery of information. At this current time, schools have adapted it also and there we see computers inside the school.

So in this article, let's talk about how the students are being empowered by information and communication technology.


Information Communication Technology introduced us a number of new methods to make life easier.

For students, ICT is a great help. It has been playing a vital role in the students’ school life. It has empowered them in so many aspects that were never imagined. Definitely, ICT denoted empowerment to them. Specifically, how does ICT empower students? In what ways it does?

With correct mindset, ICT gives motivation to student. There are so many things you can do through ICT. ICT means Information Communication Technology. For students, they can gather the information necessary for their studies. They can communicate to people who can help them no matter how far they are or how ward they can connect with. They can use the technology they need to have better performance.

If they have different and accessible ways just in front of them and those ways are even easy to acquire. It can be a motivating actor to them. He can be empowered in their mental and emotional aspects through ICT as it motivates them

If we say motivation, it means that they are inspired to do and to create. Some students hardly excel at school because it is difficult for them to obtain what they need. They have no motivation to do anything because they think they will not do enough due to lacking resources. However, through the help of ICT which helps students find and create different tools to do their works, they will be empowered to be more than enough since ICT motivates them.

For them, to be motivated, they just need to have correct mindset. If he student thinks that since ICT makes things easier, they will not need to worry and they can fool around, it won’t give motivation but problems so they should think that it is a help and for that help they have received, they should do more.

ICT promotes active learning. One problem observed right now is that students do not do that well in school because they lack participation. They do not actively engaged in their lessons to learn. However through ICT, teaching methods are elaborated for students to be not passive.

Students cannot only learn more but they will also actively learn and even recite which is a hard thing to do.

ICT provides beneficial visual aids. It provides effective and efficient visual aids like PowerPoint presentations, videos, audios and photos. It makes students understand the lessons better.

One thing why students does not like to recite is that they are afraid to speak up, thinking that they might be wrong and laughed at. However, if they understand completely the lesson and they are assured because of the effective ways of teaching ICT provided, they will participate in classroom lectures. They will be more attentive. And attentiveness is what some students do not have.

Final Thoughts

Establishing good collaborative or cooperative learning is made even more possible with the help of ICT. It is very important however, not much given of importance. Students, though, formed as groups in some activities to learn does not really cooperate much. But through ICT, by providing communication helps.

We had an ICT subject in Grade 12. I can say that it is a necessary subject especially in this modern world. It also helps us to be collaborative which you pointed out. We had a great teacher in that subject, unfortunately he passed away last year.
