Abstract
This paper carried out a review of the interaction of gender with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) using Nigeria as a case study. Interaction of gender with ICT cannot be over-emphasized especially since research showed a need for balance and understanding of the roles and the immense contributions of ICT for instructional purpose. The study also explored the conceptual meaning of gender as it relates to the study, the importance of information and communication technology especially for effective instruction and the distinction between men and women’s use of ICT. It was recommended that gender should not be used to discriminate against females in science and technology and in ICT in particular; females should be given opportunities like their male counterparts to attend and participate in ICT conferences, trainings, workshops, etc. at their convenience because of their peculiar situations.
