10. NEED of ICT

11. Importance of ICT

12. Characteristics of Information Technology * Acquisition, Storage, manipulation, management, transmission or reception of data or information. * Real time access to information. * Easy availability of updated data. * Connecting Geographically dispersed regions. * Wider range of communication media.

13. Unique Characteristics of ICT ICT is pervasive and cross-cutting From personal use to business and Govt. Can be tailored to meet personal, local, diverse needs.   ICT creates networks Those connected benefit from the network The Network externalities increases as it grows 20

14. Characteristics cont’ ICT disseminates information and knowledge Separates content from its physical location Makes knowledge available to remote communities ICT allows for zero or declining marginal costs Replication of content is free Distribution of marginal cost is near zero ICT reduces transaction costs 21

15. Characteristics cont’ ICT enhances efficiency Has power to store, retrieve, sorts, filter and distribute information  Makes processes and transactions leaner and more effective ICT reduces the need for intermediaries Links consumers directly to producers Allows users to acquire products and services directly 22

16. Characteristics cont’ ICT is global Transcends cultural and linguistic barriers Allows local communities to be part of the global network Summary These characteristics suggest that ICT can be a powerful enabler of development 23

17. ICT for Education Applications of ICT Distance Education Affordability and geography have been barriers to access ICT has enhanced the quality of distance education Six largest Distance Learning Universities are located in developing countries: Turkey, Indonesia, China, India, Thailand and Korea Distance Education facilitated by ICT has mainly been applied to tertiary education ICT has enabled cross-border education 24

18. Applications cont’ Scientific Research Development of networks over the internet empowers indigenous research & development (R&D) in developing countries Existence of virtual research groups allows databases and information to be shared ICT enhances North-South and South-South collaborations 25

19. Applications cont’ Technical and vocational training ICT is being employed to train workers in many functional areas e.g Health care,IT services, teachers 26 Education Administration Enhances day-to-day management of institutions Timetabling Student admission &Tracking Financial Management Medical services Procurement & store management Data distribution & management

20. Uses in Education • To broadcast material, online facility or CD-ROM can be used as sources of information in different subjects • To facilitate communication for pupils with special needs • To use electronic toys to develop spatial awareness and psycho-motor control • To use the Online resource like, email, Chat, discussion forum to support collaborative writing and sharing of information • To facilitate video-conferencing or other form of Tele conferencing to involve wide range of students from distant Geographic areas • For Blended learning by combining conventional classroom learning with E- leaming learning systems • To process administrative and assessment data • To exchange and share ideas -among teachers for the professional growth • To carry out internet-based research to enhance , educational process

21. Uses and Advantages Students Teachers Guidance and Counseling personnel Educational Planners Research Workers Desirable changes and resolution – Formal and Non-formal Education and Instruction

22. Limitations and Drawbacks Lack of needed facilities , material and equipment and favourable conditions for the use of ICT Widespread ignorance Resistance – attachment to old ways and fear – adoption of the new Lack of provision – in pre-service stage nor in-service stage
