Module1 Introduction To ICT Specialization

Information and communication technologies (ICT) enable the creation, collection, processing, storage, and communication of information in various forms like text, audio, video. ICT includes hardware like computers, printers, and networks that allow data transmission and storage. It also includes software programs and applications. Developments in ICT have led to greater access to information through digital formats and networks. This has impacted society through more efficient information sharing between industries and improved access to education and resources. However, effective use of ICT also requires ongoing training and risks of exacerbating information inequality.

What is Information?
• is associated with data and knowledge,
as information is data in context and
with meaning attached
• is stimuli that has meaning in some
context for its receiver.
• When information is entered into and
stored in a computer, it is generally
referred to as data.
What is Communication?
• The transmission of data from one 
computer to another, or from one 
device to another. A communications
device, therefore, is any machine that
assists data transmission.
• For example, modems, cables,
and ports are all communications
devices.
What is Technology?
• The application of scientific knowledge to the
practical aims of human life
• Is science or knowledge put into practical use
to solve problems or invent useful tools.
• Is the collection of techniques, skills, methods,
and processes used in the production
of goods or services or in the accomplishment
of objectives, such as scientific investigation.
What is ICT

Communication
Technologies

ICT are the hardware and software that


enable society to create, collect, consolidate
and communicate information in multimedia
formats and for various purposes.
What is ICT
A good way to think about ICT is to
think about all the ways digital
technology is used to help individuals,
businesses and organizations use
information.

•ICT includes any product that will process


information electronically
• ICT will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or
receive information electronically. 
What Is Information and
Communication Technology?
• What do you think is an example of
ICT?

• Anything that help you access, use,


and share information is ICT:
• from computer, digital television, email,
robots or household devices, such as
electronic calendars, clocks, timers, to
cell phones and PDAs.

What is Hardware?
Is a computer equipment
used to perform input,
processing, and output
activities.
Ex.
Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor,
Printer, Flash drive, CD Drive,
RAM, Hard Drive, Joystick,

IMPACT OF ICT ON SOCIETY

Developments in ICT have brought


about the merger of the computing,
information, communications,
entertainment, mass media
industries thereby providing a means
of exchanging information in the
digital format used by computers.
• ICT - i.e. computer linked to
• all facets of society
What is the response of industry and
government to the information
society?
• Increased production and availability of
more powerful ICT hardware and software
• Provision of more efficient national and
global information infrastructures for more
efficient access and delivery of information
• Increased production and publication of
multimedia digital information
What is the impact of ICT on the information
centers?
 ICT made information creation in
digital format possible.
 ICT made online access and file
transfer possible
 ICT made networking and sharing
of information resources possible
Shift from Print to Internet
Digital

• ICT has made the transfer of digital


information from remote sites possible
What are the effects of these
developments on the user community?
• Increases level of technology literacy
• Increases demand for better and
faster access to information
• Aggravates discrepancies between
the information rich and information
poor.
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF ICT ON
EDUCATION?
 Need for ICT knowledge
 Need for ICT skill
 Need for ICT tools
 Need for continuous learning in the
context of rapidly changing ICT
What will be the trends in the
development over the ICT?
The process will :
• be networked
• be stocked with a core collection that is
multimedia
• have access to global information
• become digital
• become virtual
Advantage and Dis-advantage of
ICT
Factors against use of ICT
• MAINTENANCE
• NEED FOR TRAINING OF TEACHERS
• ONE OFF TRAINING IS NOT SUFFICIENT
• INEQUALITIES
• INFORMATION OVERLOAD
