All over the world, the implication of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science has negative signals in the educational system because most of integrated science students are not computer literate, this will automatically affect them in the teaching and learning of integrated science. Integrated science is a valuable course that needs to asses students interest in educational system and integrating approach to earth space science this science course is a hand and class, which have many labs and involves precision and accuracy. It is extremely important that the ministry of education should properly investigate those implication of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of integrated science in the higher institution, mostly College of Education Ekiadolor Benin. Understanding the implication of using information communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning integrated science will help to improve our educational standard.
