CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
I.1. Background
ICT is an initial of Information and Communications Technology. In this era ICT is very
needed by society at large. ICT can be applied or applied in everyday life. Like for example in
ICT in education.
I.3. Objective
1. To fulfill ICT Literacy assignment
2. To know how to expand and improve education using ICT
CHAPTER II
THEORITICAL
II.1. Definition
ICT (information and communications technology - or technologies) is an umbrella term
that includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular
phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the
various services and applications associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance
learning. ICTs are often spoken of in a particular context, such as ICTs in education, health care,
or libraries. The term is somewhat more common outside of the United States.
ICT changing the way we learn, work and live in society and are often spoken of in a
particular context, such as in education, health. A good way to think about ICT is to consider all
the uses of digital technology that already exist to help individuals, businesses and organizations
use information. ICT covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive
information electronically in a digital form and is concerned with these products. Importantly, it
is also concerned with the way these different uses can work with each other. In the office, in
school, or at any business or social function finds many devices equipped with computer chips.
They include access cards, mobile phones, point of sales scanner, medical instruments, TV
remote controls, microwaves ovens, computers, etc.
II.2. History
ICT defines as Information Technology, consists of study, design, advance
development, accomplishment, support or administration of computer foundation information
system, mostly software application and computer hardware. Information technology works with
the use of electronic computers and computer software to renovate, defend, development, and
broadcast and other information.
Information technology has overstuffed to cover many features of computing and technology,
and this word is more familiar than ever before. Information technology subject can be quite
large, encompassing many fields. IT professionals perform different types of responsibilities that
range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks.
The first commercial computer was the UNIVAC I, developed by John Eckert and John
W. Mauchly in 1951. It was used by the Census Bureau to predict the outcome of the 1952
presidential election. For the next twenty-five years, mainframe computers were used in large
corporations to do calculations and manipulate large amounts of information stored in databases.
Supercomputers were used in science and engineering, for designing aircraft and nuclear
reactors, and for predicting worldwide weather patterns. Minicomputers came on to the scene in
the early 1980s in small businesses, manufacturing plants, and factories.
II.3. Benefits
Examination Benefits for teachers
ICT facilitates sharing ofresources, expertise and advice
Greater flexibility in whenand where tasks are carried out
Gains in ICT literacy skills,confidence and enthusiasm.
Easier planning and preparationof lessons and designing materials
Access to up-to-date pupil andschool data, any time and anywhere.
Enhancement of professionalimage projected to colleagues.
Students are generally more on task and expressmore positive feelings when they use
computersthan when they are given other tasks to do.
Computer use during lessons motivated students tocontinue using learning outside
school hours. Higher quality lessons through greater collaborationbetween teachers in
planning and preparing resources .
More focused teaching, tailored to students strengths and weaknesses, through better
analysis of attainment data
Improved pastoral care and behaviour management through better tracking of students
Gains in understanding and analytical skills, including improvements in reading
Comprehension.
Development of writing skills (including spelling, grammar, punctuation, editing and redrafting), also fluency, originality and elaboration.
Encouragement of independent and active learning, and self-responsibility for learning.
Flexibility of anytime, anywhere access (Jacobsen and Kremer, 2000)
Development of higher level learning styles.
Students who used educational technology in school felt more successful in school,
were more motivated to learn and have increased self-confidence and self-esteem
Students found learning in a technology-enhanced setting more stimulating and studentcentred than in a traditional classroom
Broadband technology supports the reliable and uninterrupted downloading of webhosted educational multimedia resources
Opportunities to address their work to an external audience
Opportunities to collaborate on assignments with people outside or inside school ICT
CHAPTER III
DISCUSSION CONTAIN
ICT is an acronym that stands for Information and Communications Technology. ICTs
stand for information and communication technologies and are defined, for the purposes of this
primer, as a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create,
disseminate, store, and manage information. These technologies include computers, the Internet,
broadcasting technologies (radio and television), and telephony. In recent years there has been a
groundswell of interest in how computers and the Internet can best be harnessed to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of education at all levels and in both formal and non-formal settings.
But ICTs more than just technologies.
Improving the quality of education and training is a critical issue, particularly at a time of
educational expansion. ICTs can enhance the quality of education in several ways: by increasing
learner motivation and engagement, by facilitating the acquisition of basic skills, and by
enhancing teacher training.
Motivating to learn. ICTs such as videos, television and multimedia computer software
that combine text, sound, and colorful, moving images can be used to provide challenging
and authentic content that will engage the student in the learning process. Interactive
radio likewise makes use of sound effects, songs, dramatizations, comic skits, and other
performance conventions to compel the students to listen and become involved in the
lessons being delivered. More so than any other type of ICT.
Facilitating the acquisition of basic skills. The transmission of basic skills and concepts
that are the foundation of higher order thinking skills and creativity can be facilitated by
ICTs through drill and practice.
ICTs are a potentially powerful tool for extending educational opportunities, both formal
groups traditionally excluded from education due to cultural or social reasons such as ethnic
minorities, girls and women, persons with disabilities. ICTs make possible asynchronous
learning, or learning characterized by a time lag between the delivery of instruction and its
reception by learners. Online course materials, for example, may be accessed 24 hours a day, 7
days a week.
