1. Computer as…
• ICT
• Tutor
• Teacher’s tool
• Cooperative Learning

4. is recognized as the third
revolution in education.
1st
was the invention of the printing
press.
2nd
the introduction of libraries.

5. Review of Computer from
Ed Tech 1
 third revolution in education.
especially so with the advent of
the microcomputer in 1975.Thus
emerged
computer technology in education.

6.  computer-assisted
introduction (CAI) was
introduced using the principle
of individualized learning
through a positive climate that
includes realism and appeal
with drill exercises that uses
color, music and animation.

7.  But the evolving pace of
innovation in today’s Information
Age is so dynamic that within the
first decade of the 21st century,
computer technology in
education has matured to
transform  into an educative
information and communication
technology (ICT) in education.

8. Through computer
technology, educators saw the amplification
of learning among computer
literacy.
like… reading, the modern student can
now interact with computer message,
even respond to question or to computer
commands.
writing, the learner can form messages
using computer language or program.

10. What is ICT?
 Means Information
Communications Technology
 Covers any product that will store,
retrieve, manipulate, transmits or
receives information electronically
in a digital form.
Ex. personal computers, digital
television, email, robots.

11.  Is concerned with the storage,
retrieval, manipulation,
transmission or receipt of digital
data. Importantly, it is also
concerned with the way these
different uses can work with each
other .

12. Consider the following important
topics that deal with the way ICT
is used and managed in an
organization
- The nature of information (the "I"
in ICT)
this covers topics such as the
meaning and value of
information; how information is
controlled; the limitations of
ICT; legal considerations.

13. - Management of information
this covers how data is captured,
verified and stored for
effective use; the manipulation,
processing and distribution of
information; keeping information
secure; designing networks to share
information
- Information systems strategy
this considers how ICT can be used
within a business or
organization as part of achieving
goals and objectives

14.  Instructional media consist of audio-
visual aids that served to enhance
and enrich the teaching-learning
process.
Examples are the blackboard, photo,
film and video.
 educational communication media
comprise the media of
communication to audiences
including learners using the print,
film, radio, television or satellite
means of communication.

15. Example:
 . distance learning was
implemented using
correspondence, radio,
television, or the computer
satellite system.

16.  Close to the turn of the 21st century,
however, such a distinction merged
owing to the advent of the
microprocessor, also known as the
personal computer (PC). This is due to
the fact that the PC user at home,
office and school has before him a
tool for both audio-visual creations
and media communication.
