This document discusses the use of computers and information and communication technology (ICT) in education. It describes how ICT allows for individualized and interactive learning, and how its uses have evolved from computer-assisted instruction to transforming education through technologies like personal computers, the internet, and multimedia capabilities. The document also outlines several ways that ICT can help expand access to education and improve its quality by making learning more motivating, collaborative, creative, integrative, and evaluative. Finally, it discusses different approaches to using radio/TV broadcasting, computers, and the internet for teaching and learning across the curriculum.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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
5. 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
6. The programs (capabilities) normally installed in an ordinary
modern PC are:
1. Microsoft Office
2. Power point
3. Excel
4. Internet Explorer
5. Yahoo or Google
6. Adobe Reader
7. MSN
8. Windows media player
9. Cyber Power
10. Windows media player
11. Game House
18. 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
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. 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.
24. 2.) School broadcasting, where broadcast programming
provides complementary teaching and learning
resources not otherwise available.
25. 3.) General educational programming over community,
national and international stations which provide
general and informal educational opportunities.
26. How have computers and the Internet been used for
teaching and learning?
3 General Approaches to the instructional use
of computers and the Internet
1. Learning about computers and the Internet, in which
technological literacy is the end goal;
2. Learning with computers and the Internet, in which the
technology facilitates learning across the curriculum; and
3. Learning through computers and the Internet,
integrating technological skills development with
curriculum applications
