ICT CONCEPTS

What is ICT?
2

 Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are the


technologies used in the conveying, manipulation and storage of
data by electronic means.
 During last decade of twentieth century there was extraordinary

development in information and communication technology (ICT)


which led to a transmutation of processes and practices in almost all
aspects of human activities.
Information and Communication Technologies

 Information is data that has been sorted and arranged.

 It consists of organized facts and opinions people receive during daily life.

 Changing data into information is called data processing or information

processing.
 It involves gathering, organizing, and reporting data so it is useful to

people.
 It is often done using information technology.
ICT Tools
 Radio, television, video, DVD, telephone (fixed line & mobile),
satellite systems, computer and network hardware and software;
(equipment and services associated with these technologies, such as
videoconferencing and electronic mail.) , blogs

Forums
LCD, PC Search
OHP,
TV/VHS, Whiteboard, Engine,

Information and Communication Technologies

 People often use the terms information and communication together.

 These terms are related, but each means something different.

 Two words we need to know to understand communication technology


are data and information.
 Data includes individual facts, statistics (numerical data), and ideas.

 These facts and ideas are not sorted or arranged in any manner.
What is Communication?

 Communication is simply the act of


transferring information from one place to
another.

 Exchanging Information from computer to


another computer

 The classic communication system is made up


of an information source, an encoder, a transmitter,
a receiver, a decoder, storage, retrieval, and an
information destination.

Scope of Internet as a ICT in Education
10

 ICT as a tool to innovate teaching-learning practice

via Internet (i.e. digital content, multimedia,


teaching-learning methods, learning environment)
 ICT as an administrative tool (i.e. education
management information systems (EMIS)
 ICT as an expanding learning opportunity (i.e.
distance learning, e-Learning)
 ICT as a facilitator of higher-order thinking skills (i.e.

learner-centered, self-directed learning, tailored


learning)
Traditional v/s Internet based ICT education Approach

Psychology of using Teaching Aids which
include ICTs
 Hear is an effective saying

 I hear, I forget : Verbal description only are not enough for

learners to remember and understand. Visualization of

objects especially in science and technology is important

 I see, I remember: Knowledge that is gained through the

site is more colorful, accurate and permanent. It is said

that 80% of our knowledge is gained through our eyes.


ICT can help learning

 Develop understanding

 Speed and automatic functions of ICT can enable teachers to

demonstrate, explore or explain aspects of their teaching, and

students learning, more effectively e.g. use of a spread sheet to

perform calculations in order that patterns can be concentrated

on rather than the calculating.


ICT can help learning

 Extend access to sources

 the capacity and range of ICT can enable teachers and students to

gain access to historical, recent or immediate information,

through, for example, accessing information on CD-ROM or the

Internet
 Enhance enquiry skills
 search for and compare information from different sources
ICT can help learning

 Enhance the communication of ideas

 communicate with other people, locally and over distances,

easily and effectively

 present information in ways which are accessible in

different forms for different audiences.


Does ICT increase access to learning opportunity?
16

 Education opportunities in dispersed locations where


conventional schools are not viable;
 A choice to students and parents of what they want to learn i.e.
Choice based credit system (CBCS);
 A safety net for school drop-outs so they do not lapse into
illiteracy;
 Alternative venue to schools.

 Second chance education.

 Standardised curriculum materials

 Lifelong learning concept

 Limiting fraud in assessment process


Green ICT
Green ICT refers to an approach
17 in reducing the energy and other

resources consumed and the emissions and other waste produced

across the ICT lifecycle – from manufacture, procurement and use

of ICT in an organisation to its re-use and aims to improve

environmental sustainability of organisations. Specifically, Green

ICT as applied to the use of ICT resources aims to:

 Reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions during ICT use

 -Reduce environmental impact of disposal of ICT waste products

In addition to the above, Green ICT also explores how ICT applications

can be used to help other sectors conserve and optimise energy

usage.
Steps towards Green ICT
18
 Reducing Power Consumption of ICT equipments.

 Going Paperless

 Buying Energy-efficient ICT equipments

 Disposal, Re-use and Recycling ICT Equipments

 Server Optimisation and Virtualisation

 Indirect ICT Savings
