The document discusses the role of computers in education as information and communication technology. It describes how computers allow students to interact with messages and respond to questions in a way similar to reading. Computers also allow students to create messages like writing. The document then lists several common computer programs installed on modern PCs that facilitate both instructional media like presentations and educational communication through accessing the internet and email. It concludes with discussion questions about the role of computers in information and communication technology and listing programs on a PC.

2. Motivational Activity
Instruction: Students will be divided into two
groups and the discussants will show a picture or
logo of different apps or softwares and the
learners will guess what it is. The first group who
will got the correct answer first in each category
will got a points and it will be added on their
quiz.

23. Introduction
Computers are critical for communication
and are the centerpiece of information
technology. The early 1990s saw the
emergence of household Internet use,
which eventually spurred common use of
email, websites, blogs, social networking,
video chat and Voice-Over-Internet
Protocol.

24. Through computer technology
📌Educators saw the amplification
of learning along computer
literacy.
📌Much like reading, the modern
student can now interact with
computer messages; even respond
to questions or to computer
commands.
📌Like writing, the learner can
form messages using computer

25. In the technology course 1 the role of the computer
in education was well discussed. It was pointed out
the advent of the computer is recognized as the third
revolution in education. The first was the invention
of the printing press; the second, the introduction of
libraries. The third, the invention of the computer,
especially so with the advent of the microcomputer
in 1975. Thus emerged of computer technology in
education.

26. Through computer technology,
educators saw the amplification of
learning along computer literacy.
Much like reading, the modern student
can now interact with computer
messages, even respond to questions
or to computer commands.

27. Soon computer assisted
instruction (CAI) was
introduced using the
principle of individualized
learning through a positive
climate that includes realism
and appeal with drill
exercise that uses color,
music, animation.

Education

29. Until the nineties, it was still possible to
distinguish between instructional media and
the educational communication media.
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.

30. Educational communication media
comprise the media of communication to
audiences including learners using the
print, film, radio, television or satellite
means of communication.
For example: distance learning were
implemented using correspondence, radio,
television or the computer satellite system.

31. 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/her a tool
for both audio- visual creations and media
communication.

32. To illustrate, let’s examine the programs
(capabilities) normally installed in an ordinary
modern PC:
•Microsoft office- program for composing text,
graphics, photos into letters, articles, reports, etc,
•Powerpoint – for preparing lecture presentations
•Excel- for spreadsheets and similar graphic sheets
• Internet Explorer- Access to the Internet

33. •Yahoo or Google- Websites; e-mail, chat rooms,
Blog sites, news service (print/video) educational
softwares etc.
•Adobe reader- Graphs/photo composition and
editing
•MSN – Mail/chat messaging
•Windows media player- CD, VCD player
•Cyberlink Power- DVD player
•Windows media player – Editing film/video
•GameHouse – Video Games
