Abstract
AbstractThis chapter provides the context within which Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can be placed vis-à-vis teaching and learning in the Digital or Information Age. The chapter describes how technological devices have become a part of our everyday lives and are yet to find an adequate place in our educational system. It specifically describes how ICT can be seen as an enabling factor in our teaching–learning practices and how contemporary web-based technology can provide a platform for enhancing and empowering these practices since it often shares some of the features of such practices. By doing so, it shows how in the new digital age, new ways of teaching and learning can be integrated within ongoing practices in schools and beyond.KeywordsEveryday technologiesICTICT potentialTwenty-first century skillsNew age literaciesDesign and accessLearning environments
