L1 Introduction to Information and Communication Technology.pptxizarahmendoza
Information and communication are fundamental components of human interaction and the functioning of societies, economies, and the global community. They form the backbone of modern civilization, facilitating the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and resources across geographical boundaries and cultural divides. Let's break down each of these concepts:
Information:
Information refers to data that has been processed, organized, and structured to convey meaning and provide insight into a particular subject or context. It can take various forms, including text, images, audio, video, and numerical data. Information is essential for decision-making, problem-solving, learning, and innovation in all aspects of life.
Characteristics of Information:
Accuracy: Information should be reliable and free from errors or distortions to ensure its credibility and usefulness.
Relevance: Information should be pertinent to the subject or context at hand to fulfill its intended purpose.
Timeliness: The timeliness of information is crucial, as outdated or obsolete information may lose its value or relevance over time.
Accessibility: Information should be easily accessible to those who need it, whether through traditional means like books and libraries or digital platforms like the internet.
Security: Protecting sensitive or confidential information from unauthorized access, manipulation, or disclosure is essential to maintain trust and integrity.
Communication:
Communication involves the exchange of information, ideas, thoughts, and feelings between individuals or groups through various channels and mediums. It is a fundamental aspect of human interaction and plays a central role in building relationships, fostering collaboration, and promoting understanding and cooperation.
Modes of Communication:
Verbal Communication: The use of spoken language to convey messages, ideas, or instructions, either face-to-face or through mediums like telephone calls or video conferencing.
Written Communication: The use of written language, such as letters, emails, reports, or memos, to communicate information over time and space.
Nonverbal Communication: The transmission of messages through gestures, facial expressions, body language, and other nonverbal cues, which often convey emotions and attitudes.
Visual Communication: The use of visual elements like images, graphs, charts, diagrams, and videos to communicate complex information quickly and effectively.
Importance of Information and Communication:
Knowledge Sharing: Information and communication enable the dissemination and sharing of knowledge, fostering learning, innovation, and intellectual growth.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Lesson 1 –
ICT and its
Current State
After going through
this lesson, you are
expected to:
1.1. identify what is ICT;
2.2. explain and give how ICT affects
their everyday lives and its current
state
3. What’s In
• This lesson will introduce the concept of
Information Communication Technology. This
lesson includes what ICT means, its concept
and current state of technology. It will also
discuss the difference between the Web and
Internet. It will also outline important
technological milestone in the evolution of
web technology and how it contributed to the
way we share and transmit information today
4. Technological Convergence
• Using the Venn Diagram below, list down how
each one is similar to the other. Write your
answer in a table like the one below
6. What is ICT
• Information Communication Technology (ICT) is an
umbrella term referring to communication hardware
or software that allows the access, storage,
transmission and manipulation of information. In
terms of Hardware, ICT specifically encompasses
radio, television, communication devices (smart and
non-smart phones), desktops computers, laptops
and network hardware and technologies. ICT is
also comprised of software, applications and
platforms that allows information to be accessed,
stored, transmitted and manipulated.
7. What is ICT
• ICT is used across by many industries
and disciplines and in some, it is a
crucial element for them. ICT is now a
part of many people’s lives, for better or
for worst. Ultimately, this technology
depends on your behavior as an end
user, thus learning how to use ICT
properly and responsibly is a must
8. World Wide Web (WWW) vs Internet
• People colloquially refer the world wide web (‘web’ for short)
as the internet or vice versa interchangeably, but there are key
differences between the two.
• The Internet by definition is the actual interconnection of computers
and other networks, while the web refers to the system that enables
people to access information over the internet. The internet is the
hardware aspect because it relates to computer networks,
connections and infrastructures. The web on the other hand, refers to
the software aspect asit relates to the Protocols or HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol. HTTP are the system or procedures that enables
the transfer of information in the internet) web services, applications
and platforms.
9. Web Versions
• The web has three distinctive versions
namely: Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0.
Some people think that the indicated
web versions are updates across a
particular point of history. The versions
of the web are categorized based on
functionality and features that it
represents.
10.
11. WEB 1.0
• When the World Wide Web was invented, most web
pages were static. Static (also known as flat page or
stationary page) in the sense that the page is “as is”
and cannot be manipulated by the user. The content
is also the same for all users. This is referred to as
Web 1.0.
12.
13. WEB 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages
• Web 2.0 allows users to interact with the page: instead
of just reading a page, the user may be able to
comment or create a user account. Web 2.0 also allows
users to use web browsers instead of just using their
operating system. Browsers can now be used for their
user interface, application software (or web
applications), and even for file storage.
• Most websites that we visit today are Web 2.0.
14. Features of Web 2.0
1. Folksonomy. It allows users to categorize and
classify/arrange information using freely chosen keywords
(e.g., tagging). Popular social networking sites such as Twitter,
Instagram, Facebook, etc. use tags that start with the pound
sign (#). This is also referred to as hashtag.
2. Rich User Experience. Content is dynamic and is responsive
to user’s input. An example would be a website that shows
local content. In the case of social networking sites, when
logged on, your account is used to modify what you see in
their website.
15. Features of Web 2.0
3. Long Tail. Services are offered on demand rather than on a one-time purchase. In
certain cases, time-based pricing is better than file-size-based pricing or vice
versa. This is synonymous to subscribing to a data plan that charges you for the
amount of time you spent in the Internet, or a data plan that charges you for the
amount of bandwidth you used.
4. User Participation. The owner of the website is not the only one who is able to
put content. Others are able to place a content of their own by means of comment,
reviews, and evaluation. Some websites allow readers to comment on an article,
participate in a poll, or review a specific product (e.g., Amazon.com, online stores).
16. Features of Web 2.0
5. Software as a Service. Users will subscribe to a software only when needed
rather than purchasing them. This is a cheaper option if you do not always need to
use a software. For instance, Google Docs is a free web-based application that
allows the user to create and edit word processing and spreadsheet documents
online. When you need a software, like a Word Processor, you can purchase it for
a one-time huge amount and install it in your computer and it is yours forever.
Software as a service allows you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
6. Mass Participation. It is a diverse information sharing through universal web
access. Since most users can use the Internet, Web 2.0’s content is based on
people from various cultures.
17.
18. Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
• The Semantic Web is a movement led by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
• The W3C standard encourages web developers to
include semantic content in their web pages.
19. • According to the W3C, “The Semantic Web provides
a common framework that allows data to be shared
and reused across application, enterprise, and
community boundaries.”
• The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines (or servers)
understand the user’s preferences to be able to
deliver web content specifically targeting the user.
20. Several problems of Web 3.0
1. Compatibility - HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web 3.0.
2. Security - The user’s security is also in question since the machine is saving his or her
preferences.
3. Vastness - The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
4. Vagueness - Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small” would depend on the
user.
5. Logic - Since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a computer to be able to
predict what the user is referring to at a given time.
22. Current State of ICT
• ICT is following certain trends as it is
developing in this time and age. This
trend dictates the idea and design of how
ICT delivers information to people. The
following are emerging technologies,
principles or concepts in ICT.
23. Convergent Technologies
• This is when multiple different devices
combine into a single gadget because of
technological advancement. One example
of this is smartphone, where it is capable
of doing the functions of a television,
radio, computer, telephone, camera and
GPS as a single device
24. Trends in ICT
• Convergence
• Technological convergence is the synergy of
technological advancements to work on a similar goal or
task.
• Social Media
• Social media is a website, application, or online channels
that enable web users to create, co-create, discuss,
modify, and exchange user-generated content.
25. Social Media
• – These are software, applications
or platforms that allow users to
communicate in an online social
communities or network. Social
media allows people to
communicate faster through a
larger number of people
26. Trends in ICT
1. Social Networks. These are sites that allow you to connect with other people with the
same interests or background.
2. Bookmarking Sites. These are sites that allow you to store and manage links to
various websites and resources.
3. Social News. These are sites that allow users to post their own news items or links to
other news sources.
4. Media Sharing. These are sites that allow you to upload and share media content like
images, music, and video.
5. Microblogging. These are sites that focus on short updates from the user.
6. Blogs and Forums. These websites allow users to post their content.
27. Mobile Technologies
• This is a term for devices that are
easily carried and allows fast
means of communication. These
devices from the past were
originally big and bulk, but due to
the technological advancement,
they become smaller and more
compact.
28. Trends in ICT
• Mobile Technologies
• The popularity of smartphones and tablets has taken a major rise
over the years. This is largely because of the devices’ capability to
do tasks that were originally found in personal computers.
• Kinds of operating systems:
a. iOS
b. Android
c. Blackberry OS
d. Windows Phone OS
e. Symbian
f. WebOS
g. Windows Mobile
29. Trends in ICT
• Assistive Media
• Assistive media is a nonprofit service designed to help people
who have visual and reading impairments. A database of
audio recordings is used to read to the user.
