New Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) are changing the world we live in, and the way we learn to Education in Society: Various Innovative Approaches live. ICT changes teaching and learning through its potential as a source of knowledge, a medium to transmit content, a

means of interaction and dialogue. For teachers, ICT provides a different challenge, that of becoming facilitators of learning— organizing teamwork, enduring inclusion, and managing classroom activity. In the connected classroom the teacher no longer controls what happens and loses the monopoly of authority. The teacher becomes leader, helper, partner and

evaluator, combining the traditional role of subject expert with that of a manager. Effective use of ICT cannot be separated from attitudes and approaches to teaching and learning. So teachers of the digital age need to take an approach that is relatively open, to seek to inspire, support and facilitate learning, to create an environment conductive to learning. There need to be a balance between using technology and traditional methods of teaching and learning. The direction of the book is to help the educators to strike

an ideal balance between technology and moral development. This book is an achievement to all those who have contributed their articles for the educationists to think, realize and act accordingly.
