ICT in the classroom....

In this age of science and technology, lots of technologies are created such as Smartboard, OHP, LCD and others. As teachers, can we use ICT in the classroom? Well, of course we can. In fact, it is a good way to make the teaching and learning process more interesting. I didn't mean that traditional way of teaching is not good but it is good to improve our way of teaching.
Students might get bored to just sit and listen to their teacher. As to avoid boredom, the use of ICT can be integrated in a classroom. Example, instead of just using a plain paper and pencil to answer question, teacher can use online exercises in the internet for the students to solve it. So, besides learning about technology, they can reinforce their learning by doing those exercises. Besides that, there are some games in the website that can be tried by the students. The games not just for the sake of the students to have fun but to educate themselves in a fun way.
So, teacher should learn to integrate ICT in their teaching and learning process as to make the classroom more interesting and alive.
