Teachers can also easily publish their works, books and research findings in online journals, websites etc. Daily expression of their thoughts can be done by both students and teachers through discussion forums, blogs, micro blogs etc.

Scope of ICT –Research ICT greatly support research as it makes the conduct of research easier. Search engines, E Libraries, Internet, Wikipedia, e-journals, online dictionaries, research articles or abstracts databases all are the gift of ICT which has made research a much easier task. It also enables the researcher to communicate and collaborate with other researchers anywhere in the world. The barrier of time and distance now does not hamper a researcher from collecting data across the globe. One’s research findings can also be easily disseminated with the help of ICT.

Scope of ICT –Evaluation Online tests and Results is a great evaluation tool that provides immediate feedback. Software’s to tabulate, analyze results and Progress reports reduces the workload of teachers in evaluation. ICT enhances the process as the feedback can be quickly communicated to the students and parents.
