Answer 1

1.1 Technology has the ability to enhance relationships between teachers and students. When instructors successfully integrate technology into their subject areas, they become advisers, content experts, and coaches. Teaching and learning can be made more meaningful and  enjoyable with the use of technology. Students can also use technological applications to  collaborate with their classmates.

Testing has gone online Online testing is the way of the future, but it comes with a lot of benefits. With the use of  technology, it is possible to assess pupils' performance in real time. Teachers can better track  and understand students' comprehension of the material by seeing test scores in real time.

Technology keeps kids engaged This generation's students are referred to as technical learners. They learn best when they are  more participatory, and technology allows them to do so. Children often struggle to stay  concentrated or interested, and with materials to assist the teacher, they will be able to stay  focused and learn more quickly.

With technology, there are no limitations.  Students can learn a subject in a variety of ways when they have access to material outside of the book. Teachers can come up with innovative strategies to keep their pupils engaged while  teaching. Learning has become more hands-on as a result of technological advancements.

Professional growth and expertise of teachers

Keeping pupils safe when using the internet

The price of innovative technology

Adapting to new situations

1.3 Take a comprehensive approach to the integration of ICT into educational planning and strategies. Support for ICT is provided at both the national and individual school levels. This can involve  things like incorporating education stakeholders in discussions about how to integrate ICT skills  into the curriculum or enlisting teachers' aid in developing policy initiatives.

Share best practices and lessons learned across Asia, as well as across schools within each  country. This information can then be utilized to help design blueprints and tools to better assist  ICT in education.

Educate teachers, administrators, and other education leaders on how to use and integrate ICT in their classrooms. Professional development options for education leaders should be made  available so that they may engage teachers and demonstrate a shared commitment to ICT in  education.

To promote innovation and expand the use of ICT in education, mobilize resources for research  and assessment. Working with higher universities to operate as research hubs is one example.

To bring in extra technical and management knowledge, as well as financial resources, form  public-private partnerships (PPPs) and collaborate with tertiary institutions.
