ICT is impacting on how education is delivered and how students learn in the Bhutanese education system. The integration of ICT in teaching and learning significantly have an impact on the developmental in acquisition of language digitally.

In brief, the application of ICT can take many forms and has the capability to revolutionize the way teaching and learning occurs. The concurrent use of multimedia and computers allows the improvement of new pedagogical strategies involving lively and interactive learning.

So, I carried out the lesson on the use of computers and searching instructional facts from the google. The class VI children had been assigned a work to design a poster in the Microsoft to create awareness on the conservation of soil. The children were given hands on practice in the usage of Microsoft word, typing some phrases and accessing educational data from the google using the internet.  

The children were directed to look for some captions and the most appropriate images from the google. They accessed the facts from the google and pasted downloaded pictures into the Microsoft word. Then children had been asked to design a sample poster on their own using the educational information and images downloaded from the google.

The children were inspired, prompted, stimulated, motivated and maintained genuine interest in doing the tasks. At the end, some children have created a good sample poster and many children did a commendable job on their own using the google.  As a result, this act facilitated practices and drills in the usage of the computer, google and internet.
