Abstract
The 21st century, no doubt, witnessed a rapid
transformation generally and particularly in Information
and Communication Technology (ICT). This has resulted
in the emancipation of globalization in the entire world.
The primitive ways of disseminating Information and
Communication attitudes have been enhanced to a greater
extent. Acquiring information has gone electronic
whereby one can reach every part of the world to source
information from his local point. Teachers and books are
no longer the only sources of information. Educational
accessibility is now vast the most students are seemingly
more informed than their teachers. Currently, education or
learnedness has no boundary and as such no apex, all for
in the impact of ICT. The present study is meant to deal
with the concept of information and communication
Technologies (ITC) and sought to examine the important
role of it in promotion of religious education. It will also
analyze the advantages and disadvantages of ICT and
provide some suggestive measures to make better use of
ICT for the promotion of Religious Education (RE).
