ICT in Education Essentials


The term "ICT in Education" can be quite confusing. Is it about ICT, like promoting the use of computers in classrooms? What does ICT mean anyway? Or, is the focus really more on education? Thus, some people argue that it should be "ICT for Education".

If you not sure how to answer these questions and if you want to gain some confidence participating in future ICT in Education discussions, then I recommend
UNESCO Bangkok's E-learning series on ICT in Education. It provides learners the essential information as it aims to provide a common understanding on the topic, especially among people working in the education sector.

Take the online course here, www2.unescobkk.org/ict/elearning and you will get a UNESCO certificate upon completion. You can also send your certificate to ict.bgk@unesco.org if you want to add your name in the list of people who have completed the course.
