4. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IT AND ICT
IT (Information Technologies)
refers to an entire industry that uses
computers, networking, software and other
equipment to manage information. Generally,
IT departments are responsible for storing,
processing, retrieving and protecting digital
information of the company. For achieving
these tasks, they are equipped with
computers, DBMS, servers and security
mechanisms, etc. Professionals working in IT
departments range from system
administrators, database administrators to
programmers, network engineers and IT
managers.
ICT (Information and Communication
Technologies)
can be seen as an integration of IT with
mediation broadcasting technologies,
audio/ video processing and
transmission and telephony. Therefore,
ICT can be seen as an extended
acronym for IT. The term ICT is widely
used in the context of education,
whereas IT is a term widely used in the
industry. In addition, ICT is also used to
refer to the integration of telephone and
audio/ visual networks with computer
networks.

5. The United Nations
Development Programme
(UNDP, 2003) defines
ICTs as basically
information-handling
tools-avaried set of goods,
applications and services
that are used to produce,
store, process, distribute
and exchange
information. They include the ‘old'
ICTs of radio, television
and telephone, and the
‘new’ ICTs of computers,
satellite and wireless
technology and the
Internet.
These different tools are
now able to work together,
and combine to form our
`networked world' a
massive infrastructure of
interconnected telephone
services, standardized
computing hardware, the
internet, radio and
television, which reaches
into every corner of the
globe

6. ICT + EDUCATION

communication technology such as computers,
communications facilities and features that variously
support teaching, learning and a range of activities in

because it gives a chance to the users to increase their
language knowledge as well as skills (e.g. learners) and to
provide interesting materials (e.g. teachers).
ICT has become essential tool for educational change and
reform as it leads us from “traditional” to “modern” learning
process.
