Abstract

ICT has made a very profound and remarkable impact on the quality and quantity of teaching, learning research in the educational institutions (Ajayi & Ekundayo, 2009). A lot more has been written on the importance of (Information Communication Technology) ICT in education, highlighting the need for the integration of ICTs in the education sector for example (Olaore, 2014). In Nigeria, numerous articles have been published stating the need for the government to integrate ICTs in the different levels of Nigerian Education, a quick example is (Aduwa-Ogiegben & Iyamu, 2005). (Adomi & Kpangban, 2010) wrote about the applications of ICTs in Nigerian Secondary Schools and emphasized on how beneficial ICT applications will be in improving the Nigeria’s Educational System and giving students a better education. With all that has been done in making us grasp the importance of ICTs in education and implement it at various levels of our schooling system, Nigeria is yet to fully integrate ICTs effectively in the Education Sector. To tackle this particular issue and bring about the effective use and applications of readily available ICTs, this paper aims to examine some basic tools and platforms that every student and teacher can get their hands on for free on the Internet. This paper will introduce some Internet-based ICT tools that can be used to the benefit of the Nigerian teachers and students, and to apply them in our school systems and improve the quality of education in Nigeria.
