What is ICT?
2
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are the
technologies used in the conveying, manipulation and storage of
data by electronic means.
During last decade of twentieth century there was extraordinary
development in information and communication technology (ICT)
which led to a transmutation of processes and practices in almost all
aspects of human activities.
Information and Communication Technologies
Information is data that has been sorted and arranged.
It consists of organized facts and opinions people receive during daily life.
Changing data into information is called data processing or information
processing.
It involves gathering, organizing, and reporting data so it is useful to
people.
It is often done using information technology.

Information and Communication Technologies
People often use the terms information and communication together.
These terms are related, but each means something different.
Two words we need to know to understand communication technology
are data and information.
Data includes individual facts, statistics (numerical data), and ideas.
These facts and ideas are not sorted or arranged in any manner.
What is Communication?
Communication is simply the act of
transferring information from one place to
another.
Exchanging Information from computer to
another computer
The classic communication system is made up
of an information source, an encoder, a transmitter,
a receiver, a decoder, storage, retrieval, and an
information destination.

Scope of Internet as a ICT in Education
10
ICT as a tool to innovate teaching-learning practice
via Internet (i.e. digital content, multimedia,
teaching-learning methods, learning environment)
ICT as an administrative tool (i.e. education
management information systems (EMIS)
ICT as an expanding learning opportunity (i.e.
distance learning, e-Learning)
ICT as a facilitator of higher-order thinking skills (i.e.
learner-centered, self-directed learning, tailored
learning)

Psychology of using Teaching Aids which
include ICTs
Hear is an effective saying
I hear, I forget : Verbal description only are not enough for
learners to remember and understand. Visualization of
objects especially in science and technology is important
I see, I remember: Knowledge that is gained through the
site is more colorful, accurate and permanent. It is said
that 80% of our knowledge is gained through our eyes.
ICT can help learning
Develop understanding
Speed and automatic functions of ICT can enable teachers to
demonstrate, explore or explain aspects of their teaching, and
students learning, more effectively e.g. use of a spread sheet to
perform calculations in order that patterns can be concentrated
on rather than the calculating.
ICT can help learning
Extend access to sources
the capacity and range of ICT can enable teachers and students to
gain access to historical, recent or immediate information,
through, for example, accessing information on CD-ROM or the
Internet
Enhance enquiry skills
search for and compare information from different sources
ICT can help learning
Enhance the communication of ideas
communicate with other people, locally and over distances,
easily and effectively
present information in ways which are accessible in
different forms for different audiences.
Does ICT increase access to learning opportunity?
16
Education opportunities in dispersed locations where
conventional schools are not viable;
A choice to students and parents of what they want to learn i.e.
Choice based credit system (CBCS);
A safety net for school drop-outs so they do not lapse into
illiteracy;
Alternative venue to schools.
Second chance education.
Standardised curriculum materials
Lifelong learning concept
Limiting fraud in assessment process
Green ICT
Green ICT refers to an approach
17 in reducing the energy and other
resources consumed and the emissions and other waste produced
across the ICT lifecycle – from manufacture, procurement and use
of ICT in an organisation to its re-use and aims to improve
environmental sustainability of organisations. Specifically, Green
ICT as applied to the use of ICT resources aims to:
Reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions during ICT use
-Reduce environmental impact of disposal of ICT waste products
In addition to the above, Green ICT also explores how ICT applications
can be used to help other sectors conserve and optimise energy
usage.
Steps towards Green ICT
18
Reducing Power Consumption of ICT equipments.
Going Paperless
Buying Energy-efficient ICT equipments
Disposal, Re-use and Recycling ICT Equipments
Server Optimisation and Virtualisation
Indirect ICT Savings

– Web Conferencing
– Video Conferencing
Our Commitment
19
Accelerating Our Daily life activities by
Convergence of Technologies & Sharing of
Experiences and Resources.
Green ICT can reduce costs and the
negative impact
on the environment, making being
green good for all businesses
