Computer and the internet are a great resource for classroom teachers. Teachers can find suggestions, lesson plans, practical support, information and materials through the internet. There is so much that students can do with the Internet. Not only can they communicate with international students, they can gain from others' knowledge and experiences, participate in chat rooms, share ideas and solutions and learn about the many diverse cultures out there.

Teachers can adjust to the different learning styles and in the classroom. They can also set their own pace of teaching. Individual teaching techniques can become more available, which has been proven to be a factor in student achievement.
This article is about a study to explore academics experiences of using ICTs for teaching and learning in order to provide a clearer vision of where it is appropriate to use new technologies in higher education and to develop strategies to support existing initiatives and ensure the successful development and implementation of future technological.
In this article, the author describes that there are a range of individual, practical and cultural factors that shape academics use of new technologies for teaching and learning.
Two factors that are likely to influence academics use of ICTs in teaching and learning are the institutional and disciplinary contexts. Thus, this study was set out to investigate the potential similarities and differences of academic’s use of new technologies for teaching and learning both within and across three disciplines namely English, Law and Nursing. Academics were invited to one of three discipline specific events to share and discuss their own experiences of using ICTs for teaching their students.


In my opinion, one of the reasons the internet is so important in education is because of the wealth of information that the internet contains. The internet has become very useful in the field of education and every news information is available online so teachers and students can update themself any time according to their own needs and time table. The biggest source for online information for education is the encyclopedia and it is available online and any one can use it to get desired information. One of the most important advantages of the internet in the area of information is the increased accessibility of reference materials and data for all categories of users. With the use of the internet is widely used in education, there is a possibility to decrease the gap in the quality of information provided for education between developed and developing countries.
