چکیده
Over the past three decades and most recently, information and communications technologies (ICTs) have orchestrated obvious fundamental changes in the way mankind organises himself and does his own things, rendering the world into one digital global village. The greatest casualty in the mist of all these changes is the educational system, because the development, acquisition and dissemination of information is central to the educational system. This paper examines the shifting paradigms in the global education arena which is a direct consequence of advances in ICT and makes a strong case for the infusion of ICT into the educational system of Bayelsa State of Nigeria, in order that the state will maximally derive the benefits inherent in the use of ICT.
