What is the role of ICT (Information and Communication

Technology) in 21st-century learning? As a future school


leader or educator, explain the benefits and challenges of
using ICT in teaching and learning.

ICT plays a vital role in 21st-century learning because it equips learners with
the digital literacy skills they need to thrive in a technology-driven world. In
the K to 12 curriculum, ICT is embedded not just as a separate subject but as
a tool across learning areas to enhance teaching, deepen understanding, and
foster collaboration. As a Math teacher who has taught both junior and senior
high school, and now at the college level, I have witnessed how ICT allows
students to visualize abstract concepts like functions or data sets using
dynamic graphing tools, simulations, and videos.

ICT also supports teachers in streamlining lesson preparation, assessment,


and feedback. Tools like Google Forms, GeoGebra, or learning management
systems allow me to automate quizzes, monitor progress, and respond to
learners more efficiently. It gives me more time to focus on student support
rather than paperwork. However, one major challenge is unequal access.
Many students still lack devices or connectivity at home, and some enter my
classes without basic ICT skills. Often, this results from previous learning
environments that did not foster these foundational competencies.

As future educational leaders, we must champion inclusive and purposeful


use of ICT, not just because it is modern, but because it is essential in helping
our learners become globally competitive and locally responsive citizens. ICT
is not a replacement for good teaching; it is a partner. With the right mindset,
we can use it to bridge gaps, inspire learning, and prepare our students for a
future that is already digital.
