Lesson 9:
Computer as Information in
Communication Technology
Rinzell Acosta
Julie Anne Manares
John Saluta Jr.
BSED III-C
At the end of the lesson, the students will be
able to:
•To identify the role of computers in education
•To determine how computer technology transform
into an educative information and communication
technology (ICT) in education
•To apply the computer-based
technology in teaching pedagogy
Objectives:
Introduction:
Through computer technology:
1. Educators saw the amplification of
learning along computer literacy.
2. Much like reading, the modern student can
now interact with computer messages; even
respond to questions or to computer
commands.
3. Like writing, the learner can form
messages using computer language or
program.
Soon computer-assisted instructed
(CAI) was introduced using the
principle of individualized learning
through a positive climate that
includes realism and appeal with
drill exercises that uses
color, music and
animation.
But the evolving pace
of innovation in today’s
information age is so
dynamic that within the first decade
of the 21st century, computer
technology in education has matured
to transform in to an educative
information and communication
technology (ICT) in education.
The Rise of Personal
Computer (PC)
With a computer in the classroom,
teachers are able to:
1. Demonstrate a new lesson, present new
material
2. Illustrate how to use new programs
3. Show new websites
Instructional media
Educational
communication media
 consist of audio-
visual aids
 Examples are the
blackboard,
photo, film and
video.
 comprise the
media of
communication
 using the print,
film, radio
television or
satellite means of
communication
The programs (capabilities) normally installed in
an ordinary modern PC are:
1. Microsoft Office – program for composing text,
graphics, photos into letters, articles, report, etc.
Power point – for preparing lecture
presentations.
Excel – for spreadsheets and similar graphic
sheets.
2. Internet Explorer – access to the internet.
3. Yahoo or Google – websites; e-mail, chat rooms,
blog sites, news service (print/video) educational
software etc.
4. Adobe Reader –graphs/photo
composition and editing.
5. MSN – mail/chat messaging.
6. Windows media player – CD, VCD
player.
7. Cyber Power – DVD player
8. Windows media player – editing
film/video.
ICT is an acronym that
stands for Information
Communications
Technology.
What is ICT
Information and Communications
Technology
-ICT covers any product that will store, retrieve,
manipulate, transmit or receive information
electronically in a digital form
-diverse set of technological tools and resources
used to communicate, and to create,
disseminate, store, and manage information.
-include computers, the Internet, broadcasting
technologies (radio and television), and
telephony.
How can ICTs help expand access to
education?
1. ICTs make possible asynchronous
learning, or learning characterized by
a time lag between the delivery of
instruction and its reception by
learners.
•Online course materials, for example,
may be accessed 24 hours a day, 7
days a week
2. Teachers and learners no longer
have to rely solely on printed books and
other materials in physical media
housed in libraries (and available in
limited quantities) for their educational
needs.
3. ICTs also facilitate access to resource
persons—mentors, experts,
researchers, professionals, business
leaders, and peers—all over the world.
How can the use of ICTs help
improve the quality of education?
1. Motivating to learn
-ICTs such as videos, television and
multimedia computer software that
combine text, sound, and colorful,
moving images can be used to
provide challenging and authentic
content that will engage the student
in the learning process.
2. Collaborative learning.
-ICT-supported learning encourages
interaction and cooperation among
students, teachers, and experts regardless
of where they are.
3. Creative Learning.
- ICT-supported learning promotes the
manipulation of existing information and
the creation of real-world products rather
than the regurgitation of received
information.
4. Integrative learning.
-ICT- enhanced learning promotes
a thematic, integrative approach to
teaching and learning.
This approach eliminates the artificial
separation between the different
disciplines and between theory and
practice that characterizes the
traditional classroom approach.
5. Evaluative learning.
-ICT-enhanced learning is student-
directed and diagnostic.
Unlike static, text- or print-based
educational technologies, ICT-enhanced
learning recognizes that there are many
different learning pathways and many
different articulations of knowledge.
ICTs allow learners to explore and
discover rather than merely listen and
remember.
The Uses of ICTs in
Education
Each of the different ICTs—
print, audio/video cassettes, radio
and TV broadcasts, computers or
the internet—may be used for
presentation and demonstration,
the most basic of the five levels.
How have radio and TV broadcasting been used in
education?
There are three general approaches to the use of
radio and TV broadcasting in education:
1) Direct class teaching, where broadcast
programming substitutes for teachers on a
temporary basis;
2) School broadcasting, where broadcast
programming provides complementary teaching and
learning resources not otherwise available; and
3.) General educational programming over
community, national and international stations which
provide general and informal educational
opportunities.
• How have computers and the Internet been used
for teaching and learning?
3 General Approaches to the instructional use of
computers and the Internet
• Learning about computers and the Internet, in which
technological literacy is the end goal;
• Learning with computers and the Internet, in which
the technology facilitates learning across the
curriculum; and
• Learning through computers and the Internet,
integrating technological skills development with
curriculum applications
