I recently discovered the concept of « flipped classroom » and thought it was a really good example of ICT bringing value to life, especially education!
In this approach, class time is spent on problem solving and discussion, and content acquisition is left to be done by the student outside of the classroom with reading assignments, using on-line videos, for example.
A very lively and convincing explanation is given by Salman Khan at a TED Talk.
And the good news is that the Khan Academy is coming to France now!
