Abstract: Use of ICT for various development agendas is quite a prevalent phenomenon. One such agenda is use of ICT for improving rural education in developing nations. Various efforts have been made in this field. Initially ICT was primarily treated as a subject in the curriculum. The unique capabilities of ICT tools ave been identified and using it to teach other subjects has gained focus over the years. However, for effective use of ICTs as teaching tools, the role of educators still remains of utmost importance. Educator’s belief in ICT, their comfort level and level of motivation has a significant impact on the success of such initiatives. This paper analyzes two cases in which ICT was used to facilitate better learning process in rural education. The analysis provides deeper understanding of ICT use in education and need for focus on teacher’s training.Length: 3 pages
