Let us explore more about the applications of IT in Education:
              a. ICT in the Classroom

                There are many ways in which the ICT is used for education in the classroom, such as:
                •  e-learning classrooms
                •  smart-board presentations
                •  videos on experiments
                •  creation of images and videos
                •  desktop publishing of magazines, letters, and documents
                •  educational games
                •  learning using the CD-ROM media
                •  gathering educational information on the Internet

              b. Education—Anywhere Anytime
                ICT is used for education-anywhere, anytime in the following ways:
                •  Any student in India can access the NCERT book online through the website https://epathshala.nic.in/ or mobile
                   app.
                •  Apart from this there are a variety of websites and mobile apps to access educational resources on any topic.
                •  You can also contact a teacher or a trainer via the Internet to use WBT (Web-based Training).

              c. Teaching Aids and Media
                ICT is used mostly as a teaching aid in schools to:
                •  use pictures, animations, and audio-visuals to explain subjects that are difficult to explain.
                •  make the lessons interesting using presentations.
                •  organise lessons using the computer.
                •  obtain the information relevant to the subjects.

              d. Learning Management System (LMS)
                 A Learning Management System (LMS) is being used by many countries to manage school systems. A student or
                teacher can register himself/herself on the official website to access LMS and can get many services from LMS. The
                student can be benefited by using LMS, as it can be used to:
                •  learn lessons anytime and anywhere.
                •  submit queries, getting replies, and submit comments through forums.
                •  participate in the co-curricular activities via video.
                •  monitor the progress of their children (by parents).
