Information and Communication Technology
I am quite familiar with the term Informative and
Communication Technology (ICT) before attending the course SSI 3013 Informative
and Communication Technology in Science for my fifth semester in UPSI. ICT is
referring to the using of new invention of science application that can make
life easier. For example I can use my cell phone and personal computer with the
access of internet to communicate with the person at the other place easier and
faster. But ICT have broadened meaning. It is not limited to that kind of
situation only.
From my reading from a few
of web sites, the term ICT was first used in 1997 by Dennis Stevenson. It is a general term that stresses the role of unified
communications and the integration of telecommunication (telephone lines and
wireless signals), computers as well as necessary software, storage- and
audio-visual systems, which enable users to create, access, store, transmit,
and manipulate information. In addition, ICT consists of IT as well as
telecommunications, broadcast media, all types of audio and video
processing and transmission and network based control and monitoring functions.
Besides that, ICT may refer to the merging (convergence) of audio-visual
and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link
system.
ICT also can be used as a tool to make
education more relevant and attractive. The term "E-learning" been introduced
to shown to us one of the ways to applied ICT in education. It is referring to online learning or using
Internet Browser to learn. Other ICT application also can used to make
education process became more effective. For example data loggers, spreadsheet,
interactive white board and other. I hope I can explore ICT applications as
many as I could for this
course and get well-prepared to become an up-dated teacher with technologies
for the future.
