Information and Communication Technologies ( ICT )
ICT stands for Information and Communication Technologies. ICT can be understood as having four main components - Computing, Communications, Content, and human Capacity. The recent World Summit on the Information Society focused on communications, content, and capacity building. For users to fully benefit from ICT, there must be Awareness of what ICT can do, Availability within reasonable proximity, Accessibility so anyone can use it, and Affordability so it is not too costly.

confines of educational technology
Technology is a valuable tool for educators but cannot replace traditional teaching methods or the experience of working with real objects. Media refers to the storage and transmission of information and has evolved over five epochs - from ideographic drawing, to alphabetic writing, printing, electronic recording and broadcasting, and now computer communication and digital media. Broadcasting has been an important tool for political leaders to address large audiences and governments have commonly regulated it due to limited spectrum availability.

This document summarizes a study on how South African newspapers frame mobile phone use in development reporting. The study examined 6 articles using content analysis software, Wordle word clouds, and qualitative textual analysis. Key findings were that newspapers primarily framed mobile phone use in terms of mobile banking, industry, and using phones to address health issues like HIV. The analysis also found evidence that Western influences of cultural imperialism shaped some of the framing of development stories around mobile technology use. The researcher concludes by discussing implications of the findings and proposing ideas for future related research.
SOCY20241 New Media
Mobile phones have evolved from basic voice calls to sophisticated media devices. They took off in the 2000s with 3G allowing photos, music and videos. Mobile media allows autonomy and personalized experiences anywhere. However, critics argue it can remove physical interaction and increase surveillance and consumerism. Studies show people use mobile internet for specific tasks rather than immersive experiences. Mobile videos have also enabled citizen activism by recording police altercations.

ICT as a Platform for Change
Social media has the potential to be a force for both good and evil. It can enable positive social change and advocacy by allowing rapid coordination of large groups, as seen with the million person march against pork barrel in the Philippines organized on Facebook. However, social media also enables the rapid spread of misinformation and abuse, as seen with the Catholic church facing lawsuits over child abuse that went viral online. While social media allows for communication across distances, it has also taken over people's lives and enabled fraud and self-centeredness and broken relationships. Overall, social media is a tool that can mobilize groups for

This document summarizes a report on gender equality and empowerment of women through information and communication technologies (ICT). It discusses how ICT can promote development but the benefits have been uneven, with a "digital divide" between men and women in access to technology. While ICT could potentially exacerbate inequalities, addressing the gender gap in access and skills can empower women. The document reviews UN efforts since 1995 to promote women's participation in ICT and identifies strategies to close the gender divide.
Gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT
Gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT “The so-called digital divide is actually several gaps in one. There is a technological divide great gaps in infrastructure. There is a content divide. A lot of web-based information is simply not relevant to the real needs of people. And nearly 70 per cent of the world’s websites are in English, at times crowding out local voices and views.
There is a gender divide, with women and girls enjoying less access to information technology Introduction ICT and development The role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a tool for development has attracted the sustained attention of the United Nations over recent years. Strategic partnerships have been developed with donors, the private sector and civil society, and working groups and task forces have been established to enhance inter-agency collaboration throughout the United Nations system. In 2000, the Economic and Social Council adopted a Ministerial Declaration on the role of information technology in the context of a knowledge-based economy.
In 2001, the Secretary-General established a high-level Information and Communication Technologies Task Force to provide overall leadership to the United Nations on the formulation of strategies to put ICT at the service of development.2 The Millennium Declaration adopted in 2000 underscored the urgency of ensuring that the benefits of new technologies, especially ICT, are made available to all. To achieve this goal, a United Nations World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was planned in two phases. The first phase, the Geneva Summit in December 2003, aimed to develop political will and to establish the foundations for an Information Society for all.
In total, 175 Governments endorsed the Declaration of Principles3 and Plan of Action at the first phase.4 The second phase of WSIS is planned for November 2005 in Tunis. Information and Communication Technologies comprise a complex and heterogeneous set of goods, applications and services used to produce, process, distribute and transform information.

Session 2 the network society
This document summarizes the key points from a discussion on technology, society, and historical change by Dr. Juan Luis Manfredi Sánchez. It makes several points:
1) Technological development is shaping all aspects of society and the economy in a way comparable to previous industrial revolutions. Information has become the backbone of society.
2) The use of computer networks as a communication medium is accelerating changes in media consumption, identity, and other social aspects. It challenges traditional structures.
3) The new "informational" economy is based on knowledge generation, information processing, and symbol communication, with information and knowledge becoming commodities. This transforms production and competition.

The document discusses trends in digital inequality in Latin America and Mexico. It notes that while Latin America has a large population of over 530 million people, internet penetration has remained relatively low due to stark income disparities. It outlines efforts by the Mexican government to expand access to education, health and other services through digital initiatives and infrastructure projects to help close the digital divide. Comments provided discuss both reasons for hope in empowering users but also potential risks of increased cultural dependency if access to technology is not accompanied by education.ALOA Forum Presentation
This document discusses e-learning and adult literacy provision, including opportunities and challenges. It notes that literacy now involves digital skills and technology use. While e-learning can expand access to education, there are also issues of a digital divide where not all have access or skills to benefit. Blended learning that combines online and in-person methods may help address this. However, successful e-learning also requires adequate infrastructure, devices, staff training, and relevance for learners. Overall, technology provides opportunities but also risks further marginalizing those most in need unless access and support issues are addressed.

The document discusses the importance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for youth development globally. It notes that while ICT access has benefited many youth, significant digital divides remain, particularly for those in developing countries where broadband access often costs over half of average monthly income. The United Nations and other organizations are working to promote universal and equitable ICT access for youth to foster social inclusion and bridge divides. Effective policies are needed to strengthen ICT infrastructure, incorporate technology into education, and ensure affordable connectivity for all youth worldwide.Unit 6: Information Communication Technology (ICT)
This document discusses information communication technology (ICT). It defines ICT and explains how it has transformed various aspects of society including education, business, and government. ICT has benefited societies economically, politically, culturally, and personally. While ICT advances social progress through knowledge sharing and innovation, it also risks exacerbating divides in access and skills between different groups. Governments must work to close these digital divides through education and improving economic/social conditions.
Activity 1.8
1. The document discusses how ICT can contribute to universal access to education, equity in education, quality learning and teaching, teacher professional development, and more efficient education management.
2. Applications of ICT can be divided into two broad categories: those dependent on traditional telecommunications networks to provide tailored information to users, and those that process and transform information into knowledge.
3. The digital divide manifests in underlying divides in ICT related to economic, social, geographic, gender and other factors. Key aspects of the digital divide are awareness, availability, accessibility, and affordability of ICT.
Day 5 social justice and multiculturalism
The document discusses the concept of the "new digital divide" in relation to technology integration and social justice. It notes that while initial concerns focused on physical access to technology, true access requires digital literacy skills. It highlights several factors that can contribute to unequal participation, such as socioeconomic barriers, lack of awareness or relevance of technology, and fear or distrust of privacy and security issues.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
