摘要

Improving excellence in education is a critical issue; mainly at this time of everything is becoming globalized The traditional pedagogy approach to teaching and learning, as ancient as formal teaching itself, involves the directed flow of information from teacher as sage to student as container. This method is characteristically based on pre-packaged learning materials, fixed deadlines, assessment tasks and criteria are defined by teachers.

This paper gives an overview of the traditional ways of teaching and some of its limitations; also discussed the emerging ways of teaching enabled by the use of Information Communication Technology (ICTs), furthermore organizes a variety of approaches found in ICTs uses in Education.
