- 4. 3 CONCLUSION 9 4 REFFERENCE 10 INTRODUCTION It’s the world of technological revolution or explosion. Both are suit to describe our technological progress. The rapid pace at which technology is transforming the process of learning in many countries is almost unbelievable. The imperceptible momentum gathered by the engines of technology while at work in education will change the entire learning scenario like nothing else during the next few years. What is really amazing is that the developments are being telescoped into shorter and shorter time spans and this is the crux of the matter. As a result, the learning tools at the command of the children are getting more effective and sophisticated. At the root of this revolution are the personal computer, the television set, video cassettes, the satellite network and what not. And there is no stopping this avalanche of change as the world approaches the 21st century. Our commerce teachers cannot keep away from these changes. Commerce and technology are closely related with each other. Information and Communication Technology’s innovations are widening the scope of Commerce in several ways. The pressure for schools and colleges to reform and faculty to change the method of instruction have intensified during the last decade Until teachers use the computer and become comfortable and confident using the computer, the computer may remain an isolated tool with either the potential to increase student learning, or the potential to increase the amount of dust it

In recent years there has been a groundswell of interest in how computers and the Internet can best be harnessed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education at all levels and in both formal and non-formal settings. But ICTs are more than just these technologies; older technologies such as the telephone, radio and television, although now given less attention, have a longer and richer history as instructional tools. For instance, radio and television have for over forty years been used for open and distance learning, although print remains the cheapest, most accessible and therefore most dominant delivery mechanism in both developed and developing countries. The use of computers and the Internet is still in its infancy in developing countries, if these are used at all, due to limited infrastructure and the attendant high costs of access. ICT INTEGRATED INSTRUCTION IN THE TEACHING- LEARNING OF COMMERCE AT HIGHER SECONDARY LEVEL ICTs stand for information and communication technologies and are defined, for the purposes of this primer, as a “diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store, and manage information.” These technologies include computers, the Internet, broadcasting technologies (radio and television), and telephony. The use of information and communication technology (ICT) such as Internet applications, CD-ROMs, video technology and various computer attachments and software programs have caused many changes in society. These changes have not just been of a technical nature but more importantly of a structural nature. Many of the major institutions of our society have changed and the way we live our daily lives have been impacted. However, the impact on education may just beginning to be felt as teachers integrate this new technology into their teaching. In the early stages of the use of ICT in teaching, looking at the experiences of teachers at a high school in the forefront

Rapidly developing virtual education and distant learning methods are replacing the classical methods of education. IT and Computers are widely used to expand teaching possibilities. As education is a complex process in which human and technical resources should be used very carefully, concepts related to teaching and learning has changed radically. The rapid growing visualization techniques are one of the significant developments in this area. Computer and related technologies widely used all over the world. As it can dramatically improve the learning performance of students as well as the teaching productivity and effectiveness of teachers, these are widely used in education. RADIO AND TELEVISION IN COMMERCE EDUCATION Radio and television have been used widely as educational tools since the 1920s and the 1950s, respectively. There are three general approaches to the use of radio and TV broadcasting in education. Especially television and radio providing business news, that is very much benefit to commerce students as well as teachers for updating their knowledge. While taking the case of Higher Secondary students, they are new comers in the world of Commerce and businesses so these types of updating of knowledge is boom to them and ease the work of teachers. Educational programming consists of a broad range of programme type news programs, documentary programs, quiz shows, educational cartoons, etc that afford non-formal educational opportunities for all types of learners. In a sense, any radio or TV programming with informational and educational value can be considered under this type. It is very easy to access the interview with successive owners of business. COMPUTER AND INTERNET IN COMMERCE EDUCATION
- 7. Internet and computer brings knowledge in our finger tip. Internet is a knowledge repository system. Literacy work related to Commerce subjects is comparatively low, so reference is very less to Commerce student. These crises lead Commerce student in to be only in the light of textbooks. Use of internet and Computer made a solution for this. Learning with the technology means focusing on how the technology can be the means to learning ends across the curriculum. It includes: Presentation, demonstration, and the manipulation of data using productivity tools Use of curriculum-specific applications types such as educational games, drill and practice, simulations, tutorials, virtual laboratories, visualizations and graphical representations of abstract concepts, musical composition, and expert systems Use of information and resources on CD-ROM or online such as encyclopedia, interactive maps and atlases, electronic journals and other references. Technological literacy is required for learning with technologies to be possible, implying a two-step process in which students learn about the technologies before they can actually use them to learn. However, there have been attempts to integrate the two approaches. Learning through computers and the Internet combines learning about them with learning with them. It involves learning the technological skills “just-in-time” or when the learner needs to learn them as he or she engages in a curriculum-related activity. For example, secondary school students who must present a report on the impact on their community of an increase in the price of oil for an Economics class may start doing research online, using spreadsheet and database programs to help organize and analyze the data they have collected, as well using a word processing application to prepare their written report. Internet also facilitate the teleconferencing both audio and video like Edusat. Through this facility an expert’s class can be watch and also can be interact with them. Learners always look for flexibility in time, space, place, content selection and delivery of instructions. It was quite impossible to satisfy such requirements in earlier times due to the non- availability of proper tools. It is now feasible and possible to implement open & flexible learning strategies using ICT as tools. Flexible access to content and learning resources via network across

All these multimedia applications can assure very productive, interesting, motivating, interactive and quality delivery of classroom instruction. Presentation software like power point can be a good choice for teachers for performing such tasks. The integration of ICT with teaching and learning has produced some of the significant positive gains in learners’ knowledge, skills and attitudes by providing the following key advantages: Explore and represent information dynamically and in many forms Become socially aware and more confident Increase motivation Communicate effectively about complex processes Develop better understanding and broader view of processes and systems The teachers also need to make lists of the name of the students for monitoring and recording their academic performance and to analyze and perform a statistical analysis to take some corrective measure if any, in the lesson plan, delivery of instruction. Spreadsheets can be a good choice for creating class lists, recording their performance and executing statistical analysis upon them. MODE OR METHODOLOGY OF LEARNING THROUGH ICT E-Learning - it is a learning program that makes use of an information network such as internet, a LAN, Intranet or Wan based extranet whether wholly or in part, for course delivery, interaction and facilitation. Web-based learning is a subset of e-learning and refers to learning using an internet browser and Learning Management Systems such as the moodle, blackboard PowerPoint Presentation - PowerPoint is one of the most powerful presentation-software developed by the Microsoft Corporation. Presentation software’s are used to present and idea, topic,
- 9. message, lecture, information, etc on a subject, in front of an audience using computer system and LCD projector. CD-ROMs – CDs are developed to help the users interact easily. The content or topic to be taught are programmed and stored in the CDs with multimedia features and effect. CD ROMs are the storage media used to record, retrieve, read and replay the digitally formatted content of programmes and packages. CONCLUSION Through this assignment I understood that ICT integrated instruction in teaching learning process is a mile stone. It is a boom for education sector. ICT can meaningfully communicate all types of information in graphic, text, audio and video. Mere learning ICT skills is not suffice, but using ICT to improve the teaching and learning is the key for pedagogy-technology integration. ICT brings so many facilities towards Commerce education system. These facilities simplify the study and make interesting and easy.
