3. IT Vs ICT
IT (Information Technology) ICT (Information and communication
technology)
IT refers store or retrieve data and
information
ICT encompasses the use of communication
technologies, such as telecommunication
networks and the internet, to enable the
exchange of information.
IT focuses on maintenance and
management of computer systems,
networks, and databases to ensure the
smooth operation of an organization’s
technology infrastructure.
ICT focuses not only on the technology itself
but also on how it is used for
communication and collaboration.
Different IT technologies are:
• Server administration & management
• DBMS
• S/w development & Programming
• N/W infrastructure & Security
• H/w maintenance & trouble-shooting
Different ICT technologies are:
• VoIP systems
• Web development & design
• Digital marketing & social media
management
• Cloud computing & storage
• Data analytics & business intelligence

4. Key Aspects of ICT
• Information Systems: ICT professionals design, develop, and
manage information systems that integrate hardware, software,
and communication technologies.
• Telecommunications: ICT professionals work with
telecommunication networks to enable voice, data, and video
communication.
• Internet Technologies: ICT professionals utilize internet
technologies to facilitate information sharing, online collaboration,
and e-commerce.
• Digital Media: ICT professionals create and manage digital content,
such as websites, multimedia presentations, and social media
platforms.
• Data Management: ICT professionals handle the collection, storage,
and analysis of data to support decision-making processes.

5. Components of ICT
The list of ICT components is exhaustive and continues to grow. Some components,
such as computers and telephones, have existed for decades. Others, such

14. How to improve presentation skills
Practice helps to improve your presentation skills that will help reduce miscommunications, enhance
your time management capabilities, and boost your leadership skills.
• Work on self-confidence: When you’re confident, you naturally speak more clearly and with
more authority. Taking the time to prepare your presentation with a strong opening and
compelling visual aids can help you feel more confident. Other ways to improve your self-
confidence include practicing positive self-talk, surrounding yourself with positive people, and
avoiding comparing yourself (or your presentation) to others.
• Develop strategies for overcoming fear: Many people are nervous or fearful before giving a
presentation. Strategies like deep breathing, practicing your presentation, and grounding can
help you transform that fear into extra energy to put into your stage presence.
• Learn grounding techniques: Grounding is any type of technique that helps you steer your focus
away from distressing thoughts and keeps you connected with your present self.
• Learn how to use presentation tools: Visual aids and other technical support can transform a
normal presentation into a worthy one. A few popular presentation tools include:
– Canva: Provides easy-to-design templates you can customize
– Powtoon: Animation software that makes video creation fast and easy
– PowerPoint: Microsoft's iconic program popular for dynamic marketing and sales presentations
• Practice breathing techniques: Breathing techniques can help quell anxiety, making it easier to
shake off pre-presentation jitters and nerves. It also helps relax your muscles and get more
oxygen to your brain.
• Gain experience: The more you practice, the better you’ll become. Repeatedly practicing your
own presentation also offers the opportunity to get feedback from other people and upgrade
your style and content as needed.
