ICT integration in the classroom means use of information and communication technology tools and resources in the teaching and learning process. From this topic, I came to conclusion that there are 3 different level of using ICT in teaching and learning. They are: 1) Basic 2) Mid 3) High level integration. Through this lesson, I became aware that maximising the size of the image also an example of ICT integration because if the image is so small, some students won't be able to see the image and that particular student won't be engaged in learning.

Therefore, the lesson will be more interactive, engaging and effective learning for the students. ICT integration had made collaboration more easier and efficient because we can easily connect with our friends through online platforms. Fo...
