I would like to say that ICT is tool and technique of teaching I think ICT is very important in my teaching practice because I know primary education to have to basic key for students and if we takes to opportunity they learn of ICT and I will hope this base is strong so ICT and E-Learning is very useful item. This is my definition.
I use to ICT in my daily life are these MS. Office (MS word- Ms Power point – MS Excel) internet (web searching – chatting – e-mail - etc)
I think I can use power point in my school and show my ideas and make plan and receive views for students and show on screen and will be start strategy from students because help for ICT I would make integrated plan for different subject I can use pedagogy style with IC T but that’s true my area now introduce for ICT of new basis it’s time as a multi grade teacher I teach to different subject but I want to use ICT in my teaching practice my around and surrounded area school include my school not have facility for computer lab this is big challenge.
Govt of Sindh want to influence for ICT but we have to computer lab so I think I do not use then so I would like to say that my efforts will be continue I use to radio, TV , Cell phone as a ICT in my school.
I want to use for ICT in my school so this is my aim firstly I want to take action introduce to ICT in my area and school. I would start ICT in my area.
As you should know that ICT may include Radio, Television, Cellular Phone , Computer and network Hardware and software but I can use ICT on the Computer so I think backward of Pakistan can’t use Computer but they used Radio , TV, as a communication.
As a primary school teacher I know in my areas primary schools have not computer facility so I use sheet work and make model because during ICT learning contract plan these question may by possible shown.
 How do I decide what is most important for my students.
 How can I help for my students and how can I make my class I means more to students then just another grade on ICT.
 Will my student be able to use ICT
Developing ICT understanding means doing ICT things. Firstly we using old knowledge in new situation after we making plan what steps we will take for student they will be able using ICT.
