ICT IN EDUCATION
In looking the development of todays world,ict had been used widely.It is not a something new to see ict implementation in todays malaysian education.Honestly,before starting my assignment that had been assign to me and my group of University Malaysia Perlis(UniMAP) student,i never knew about ict implementation in todays education system.For that,i would like to thank my eut122 lecturer,Puan Maizatul and UniMAp.As ict plays a main role in our life today,it is not surprising that many foresee it potential in education system.The assignment that i had done showed that ict have many pro instead of con.It benefits the teachers,the student,the education institution itself and country generally.

For that,Malaysia Ministry of Education has set their strategies and goal to be achieve in implementing ict in education.They also has taken various iniative and one of the major iniative taken is by including the implementation of ict in the Ninth Malaysia Plan(2006-2010).Although Malaysia Ministry of Education had taken various initiative in implementing ict in education,what surprising me is how Mr. Tiong Ting Ming the headmaster from SMJK Dindings manage to achieve such a tremendous achievement in developing his school in ict implementation without the government fund and a about only a meagre of RM2million.With that sum of money,he had established SMJK Dindings with advanced ICT system.Moreover,he managed to involve the student in the maintenance of the system.This is very valueble for student as they would become technologically literate.So,why did the Education Ministry failed to compete with SMJK Dindings achievement?

Based on the research and studies from other country,there are many obstacle in implementing ICT in educatioon.However,there are few factor should be highlighted.One of it is lack of skills among the teacher to manage up-to-date technology device and lack of knowledge about it.Other than that,corruption in funds for ICT implementation also play a main role.Thirdly,student preparedness to accept the implementation is also very important.Last but not least,Mr. Tiong showed us that by finding cheaper source to buy ICT device,we could cut down the expanses in a huge sum.


Below are some of ICT implementation in education.
