Internet as a ICT tools
 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 (ICTs) are the

technologies used in the conveying, manipulation and storage
of data by electronic means.

What is ICT?
16
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.

Information and Communication Technologies

 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,
Blackboard Phone, 18
Wireless Phone Interactive Blogs,
Pager
Panel e-Groups
 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.

Information and Communication Technologies

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 23
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)

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.
 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.

ICT can help learning

 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.
 Standardized curriculum materials
 Lifelong learning concept
 Limiting fraud in assessment process
Does ICT increase access to learning opportunity? 30
  There are many web sites available for getting
information regarding agricultural products.
 One of them is “Soil Health Card” a 12th National e-
governance award winner. It reflects soil testing report
(Current composition of soil) and provides information
about which crops farmers should cultivate and which
manure should be applied in what proportion.

Green ICT
Green ICT refers to an approach 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 organization to its re-use and aims to improve
environmental sustainability of organizations. 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
optimize energy usage.

32
  Reducing Power Consumption of ICT equipments.
 Going Paperless
 Buying Energy-efficient ICT equipments
 Disposal, Re-use and Recycling ICT Equipments
 Server Optimization and Virtualization
 Indirect ICT Savings
