UNIT 1 Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century Is technology important for you in your daily life? Can technology help you learn better? 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature What comes to your mind when you hear ICT? 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature ICT or Information and Communications Technology refers to the creation, gathering, processing, storage, presentation and determination of information and also the process and devices that enable all this to be done. The term ICT involves three major phrases: information, communication technology, and computer technology. 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature When raw data and numbers are processed, it is called information. It is the coded representation of data. The code used may be language, number, symbols, pictures, graphs, etc. The major characteristics of information are that it should be meaningful, surprising and new, in conformity and linked with previous knowledge, correction of previous knowledge, accurate, updated, and action oriented. 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature Information technology means making information available in a re ned form so that a user can make best use of it. Technology plays an important role in transforming data to information, to knowledge and into wisdom. fi 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature When ideas, emotions, experiences and information are exchanged between two or more persons it is referred as communication. It can be represented as sender – message/media – receiver. Communication is a four-dimensional process wherein all four dimensions are equally important and indispensable. 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature Sender: The initiator of communication is called the sender who is responsible for designing/drafting/ formulating the message. The sender also determines or selects the medium of communication. Message: The message is the content or matter that needs to be communicated. The message may be in di erent forms – written text, audio, video, presentation, pictorial, graphic, animation, etc. ff 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature Media: The channel through which the message is communicated or conveyed is the medium of communication. The medium of communication is determined by the suitability and availability of the medium. Receiver: The recipient of the information.  1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature There are di erent types of communication based on medium of communication. They are radio communication, microwave communication, satellite communication, coaxial cable communication and breoptics communication. fi ff  1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature A computer is a programmable multi-use machine that accepts raw data facts, gures, and processes it into information we can use. The di erent aspects of computer technology are input, process and output. Input: Raw data in the form of facts and gures, etc. that are fed into the computer are referred to as input. fi ff fi 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature Process: The di erent functions that the computer performs such as organization, analysis, synthesis, statistical interpretations, etc., on the raw data, facts and gures, are called process. Output: The organized data that the computer gives out is called output. The output can be in various forms such as prints, graphs, audio, video, presentations, etc. ff fi 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature A computer is an electronic instrument with technology. It is self run and very fast paced. It stores information and programs It is accurate and precise It is very reliable Process information according to requirement Two or more computers can be joined to form a network 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature There are di erent forms of ICT which can be divided according to the applications which they are used for. ‣ Support mode ‣ Exploration and control mode ‣ Tutorial or self-learning mode ‣ Resource mode ‣ Link mode ff 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature Support mode: technology is used to enhance the quality of presentation and accuracy of work. It includes desktop publishing, word processing and Powerpoint presentations. As a support mode technology may raise the self esteem and con dence of the teachers and students. fi 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature Exploration and control mode: helps the students to examine/experiment in a given situation and is also able to explore through games. Type of database, expert systems, statistical analysis packages, etc. make this exploration possible. The simulations make it possible for the students to experiment with virtual situations without facing the dangers related with real situation. 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature Tutorial or self-learning mode: provides students with an opportunity for self-learning. It is necessary to provide feedback for their progress. This enables the students to learn at their individual pace. ICT helps by providing self-learning packages. 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature Resource mode: ICT is useful to access information and other resources through ‘online’ means such as Internet or ‘o ine’ using CD-ROM and other resources using technology as an information resource. It provides the student access to all sorts of information. ffl 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature Link mode: This is a mode in which ICT is used for communication between individuals through various facilities such as-e-mails, chatting, teleconferencing, blogs, wikis, etc. 1.1 Meaning, Concept, & Nature How can ICT help you (teachers) ensure success for all students? 1.2 Technologies in the DC Most educators are comfortable using technology personally and for administrative tasks. But when it comes to teaching and learning, they may wonder about the level of technology literacy needed to manage a digital classroom. There may also be concern about how best to integrate the technologies likely to be found in a digital classroom in instruction.  1.2 Technologies in the DC While you do not need to be a technology expert, educators must be su ciently technology literate to manage your digital classroom, participate in school-wide technology decision making, model technology skills for your students, and e ectively integrate technology into teaching and learning. ff ffi  1.2 Technologies in the DC It is not enough for educators to be competent in accessing their e-mail, searching the Internet, or organizing digital les. Instead, they are also expected to be able to communicate their classroom technology needs, handle baseline technology support issues in the classroom, and know when to request additional technical support. fi 1.2 Technologies in the DC A solid understanding of the technologies most likely to be found in your school and your classroom is therefore necessary. 1.2 Technologies in the DC Classroom computer technologies: classroom computer hardware components include the computer itself or system unit, input devices, output devices, and a variety of storage devices 1.2 Technologies in the DC Hardware speci cations: classroom hardware components include short-term memory capacity, called random access memory (RAM) and hard drive or ash drive long term space that will impact the computer’s capabilities. The amount of long- term storage available may limit the capacity to install application programs as well as store les and photos, while RAM capacity may limit which software packages will run on your classroom computers. fi fi fl 1.2 Technologies in the DC Hardware speci cations: Teachers must be aware of processing speed of the central processing unit (CPU) chip, the core of all computer functioning. Such speed, measure in gigahertz, determine a computer’s speed and performance and also create parameters for using it for your teaching and learning purposes. fi 1.2 Technologies in the DC Software speci cations: Software also referred to as programs, applications, apps on mobile devices provides the computer instructions to use the computer for a speci c task. To select appropriate programs for your classroom computer, a teacher must be aware of the capacities of the computer hardware components and the requirements (software speci cations) of the speci c software the teacher wished to use. fi fi fi fi 1.2 Technologies in the DC Classroom input devices: an input device is any device that allows users to enter data and commands. The most common input devices are the keyboard and pointing devices, such as trackball, joystick, touch pad, mouse and a stylus. Input approaches such as touch screens, gestures, and voice recognition are continually evolving with the mobile devices they support. These devices can serve the unique needs of your students. 1.2 Technologies in the DC Classroom output devices: Output devices include all hardware that makes processed information accessible. The two primary output devices for classroom computers are monitor/projector and printer. The monitor displays information on the screen in soft- copy (electronic form), and the printer displays that information in hard copy (printed form). 1.2 Technologies in the DC Storage: Permanently storing data and programs is the function of the diverse storage devices that can be included in a computer system. The most common storage devices that are available for a computer system are hard drives, optical discs, ash drives, and online storage. Computers have either a hard disk drive or a ash disk drive to store programs and data, but a computer may be con gured with other combinations of additional storage devices. fi fl fl 1.2 Technologies in the DC USB Flash drive: data storage has been revolutionized by the portable USB ash drive, also called a jump drive or key chain drive. For teachers and students, this inexpensive device can o er massive private storage. Teachers using ash drives for their own and student use do not have to be concerned about securing sensitive les. ff fl fi fl 1.2 Technologies in the DC Cloud storage: online or cloud storage refers to data storage at a remote location that is accessible online. Online storage hosts such as Dropbox, iCloud, and Google Drive share or rent a portion of their massive storage capacity to individual users sometimes for a modest fee. The storage space is assigned to an individual and password protected but is capable of being shared if the owner chooses. 1.2 Technologies in the DC Network storage: Is similar to online storage, only the capacity to store is made available via school’s network, not through the internet. As with cloud storage, this centralized and dedicated server space is login and password protected. The advantage of of network storage is the ability to obtain personal les from any computer connected to the network, regardless of its location within the school or district. fi 1.2 Technologies in the DC Give ve IC technologies that were very useful in your learning or in accomplishing your school-related tasks last school year. fi 1.2 Technologies in the DC A digital classroom is enriched by the addition of a wide variety of technologies. ‣ Scanners 1.2 Technologies in the DC A digital classroom is enriched by the addition of a wide variety of technologies. ‣ Graphic tablets 1.2 Technologies in the DC A digital classroom is enriched by the addition of a wide variety of technologies. ‣ Touch screens 1.2 Technologies in the DC A digital classroom is enriched by the addition of a wide variety of technologies. ‣ Electronic whiteboards 1.2 Technologies in the DC A digital classroom is enriched by the addition of a wide variety of technologies. ‣ Data projectors 1.2 Technologies in the DC A digital classroom is enriched by the addition of a wide variety of technologies. ‣ Audio devices 1.2 Technologies in the DC A digital classroom is enriched by the addition of a wide variety of technologies. ‣ Digital/mobile cameras 1.2 Technologies in the DC A digital classroom is enriched by the addition of a wide variety of technologies. ‣ Video conferencing systems 1.2 Technologies in the DC Wireless devices add an element of exibility to digital classrooms.
