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Timeliness: The timeliness of information is crucial, as outdated or obsolete information may lose its value or relevance over time.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.
Decision Making: Access to timely and accurate information facilitates informed decision-making at individual, organizational, and societal levels.
Social Interaction: Communication connects people, communities, and cultures, fostering social cohesion, empathy, and mutual understanding.
Economic Development: Information and communicati
Are you prepared for the next disaster?Pam Broviak
Many people don't take the steps to prepared for a disaster because it can seem so overwhelming. This presentation breaks the process down into small actions spread out over 20 weeks culminating in National Preparedness Month in September.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
