How information and communications technologies can support education for sustainable development: current uses and trends (pdf 560kb)

This paper presents a brief history, and identifies current uses and trends for deploying ICTs, primarily in the formal Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12) education system, with a focus on the online environment.

It considers three main questions:
1. Why do ICTs need to be considered as a critical tool in education for sustainable development (ESD)?
2. What ICTs are currently being used by educators and learners?
3. What can we expect to see in the near future?
