Information and communication technology


Introduction

 Information and communication technology usually called ICT, is often used as an extended synonym for information technology ( IT), but is usually a more general term that stresses the role of unified communication and the integration of telecommunications ( telephone lines and wireless signals ) , intelligent building management systems and audio visual systems in modern information technology.

 ICT consists of all technical means used to handle information and aid communication, including computer and network hardware, communications middleware as well as necessary software.

In other words, ICT consists of IT as well as telephony, broadcast media, all types of audio and video processing and transmission and network based control and monitoring functions.

ICT is often used in the context of ICT roadmap to indicate the path that an organization will take with their ICT needs.

The term ICT is now also used to refer to the merging of audio visual and telephone network with computer networks through a single cabling or link system. There are large economic incentives to merge the audio visual, building management and telephone network with the computer network system using a single unified system of cabling, signal distribution and management.

ICT is used as a general term for all kinds of technologies which enable users to create, access and manipulate information. ICT is a combination of information technology and communication technology.

Uses

The use of ICT in education extends beyond equipping classrooms with computer and an internet connection. There are a wide variety of ICTs currently available to schools and university that can be implemented to enhance students overall learning experience in numerous ways. Those schools and universities that have implemented ICTs primarily use these technologies to fulfill three objectives:


  • Increase networking opportunities - ICTs help connect schools to other schools, as well as individual within those schools to one another. This ability to network is especially important for students in rural areas and students in developing countries.
  • Provide distance leaning - with the advent of ICTs, learning has become web based . as a result, ICTs have started to replace corresponds schools.
  • Supplement traditional learning - one of the most common uses of ICTs in education involves students using software programs such as Microsoft word to produce otherwise traditional written assignments.

Computer system

Computer system A computer system consists of a computer and supporting devices for input/ output of data. The basic organization of any computer system shown in the following diagram Input device --- computer --- out put device  The input device supplies the data, as obtained from us, to the computer. Most commonly used input devices are – teletypewriter, video display unit ( VDU ). We specify the data in a form which we use in our everyday life, that is, in the numeric and alphabetic form. These are converted into the forms which the computer can understand. Data are stored in the computer in the binary form. After the computer has processed the data results are obtained on the output devices. Commonly used devices are printer, VCD and teleprinter. The results obtained are in the human readable form. Computer data is changed into this form by electronic circuits called decoders. The computer does all the computing data processing work. Its component are : Arithmetica...

Introduction Teaching is a face to face ,direct situation in which the ideas and instructions pass from one biologically responsive organism to another in a social matrix. Teaching in this sense is restricted to organized classroom interaction between a body of the student who desire to learn and a person, called teacher , who is there to help them , achieve that aim. In this manner teaching is learning oriented as leading is modifications of behavior. Nature of teaching activity   Transmission of knowledge and teacher ability are two distinct situation. A teacher is said to be a failure if he in unable to transmit knowledge to the pupils even if he has abilities , merit and mastery of subject. The reality is that teaching is an art and to acquire efficiency in this art, the teacher need two things. 1 . The complete knowledge of subject matter. 2. The scientific knowledge of the teaching styles for disseminating the knowledge to the pupils  Following points cha...
