ICT change almost everyday. But their application change in a different way, and sometimes some advanced, new tools, techniques, are applied more widely, than others, in Education.
As I experience the most often used technic is PPT presentation while the most rarely used one is blended learning and mobile learning.
I think gaming and social media are two trendy ICT tools in education. The attached help to elaborate on these.

You are right that ICT changes everyday. As a result of decades of fast growing emerging technology, scholars have not yet determined the ultimate or the most appropriate use of ICT according to predefined technology standards. Instead, most learners and educators are following technological trends instead of improving online learning activities (Andrew & Haythornthwaite, 2009; Beldarrain, 2006).
