At GNKCW, teachers utilize ICT (Information and Communication Technology) enabled tools to enhance and facilitate the teaching-learning process. These tools encompass a wide range of digital resources and technologies, including computers, tablets, interactive whiteboards, educational software, online platforms, and internet-based resources. By integrating ICT into their teaching practices, teachers create a more engaging and interactive learning environment. They use multimedia presentations, videos, and interactive simulations to present complex concepts in a visually appealing manner, catering to different learning styles and abilities. This multimedia approach captures students’ attention and stimulates their interest, leading to improved information retention and understanding. ICT tools also enable teachers to access a vast array of online educational resources, including e-books, articles, research papers, and educational websites. This empowers them to enrich their teaching materials, update content regularly, and incorporate real-world examples into their lessons.
