ICT and EDUCATION ICTs stand for information and

communication technologies and are defined, 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, broadcastingtechnologies (radio and television), and telephony.

e-learning encompasses learning at all levels, both formal and non-formal, that uses an information network—the Internet, an intranet (LAN) or extranet (WAN) whether wholly or in part, for course delivery, interaction and/or facilitation. Others prefer the term online learning. Web-based learning is a subset of e learning and refers to learning using an Internet browser (such as Netscape or Internet Explorer).

What is e-learning?

What is blended learning?

This refers to learning models that combine traditional classroom practice with e-learning solutions. For example, students in a traditional class can be assigned both print-based and online materials, have online mentoring sessions with their teacher through chat, and are subscribed to a class email list.

“Blending” was prompted by the recognition that not all learning is best achieved in an electronically-mediated environment, particularly one that dispenses with a liveInstructor altogether.

We do not think anymore of the spectacle of printing every time we read a book, the phenomenon of TV every time we watch a movie, or the miracle of the telephone every time we make a call.

The ultimate success of ICTs for learning will be attained when we stop marveling about the ICTs and apply our minds and emotions to the wonders of learning.”

ICT & PEDAGOGY

How have computers and the Internet been used for teaching and learning?

There are three general approaches to the instructional use of computers and the Internet, namely:

1) Learning about computers and the Internet, in which technological literacy is the end goal;

2) Learning with computers and the Internet, in which the technology facilitates learning across

the curriculum; and 3) Learning through computers and the Internet,

integrating technological skills development with curriculum applications

What does it mean to learn about computers and the Internet? Learning about computers and the Internet focuses on

developing technological literacy. It typically includes: • Fundamentals: basic terms, concepts and operations • Use of the keyboard and mouse • Use of productivity tools such as word processing,

spreadsheets, data base and graphics programs • Use of research and collaboration tools such as

search engines and email • Basic skills in using programming and authoring

applications such as Logo or Hyper Studio • Developing an awareness of the social impact of

technological change.

The term Computer, originally meant a person capable of performing numerical calculations with the help of a mechanical computing device. Binary arithmetic is at the core of the computers of all times. History of computers dates back to the invention of a mechanical adding machine in 1642. ABACUS, an early computing tool, invention of logarithm by John Napier and the invention of slide rules by William Oughtred were significant events in the evolution of computers.

Origin of Computer

In 1937 John V. Atanasoff devised the first digital electronic computer. Atanasoff and Clifford Berry came up with the ABC prototype in the

November of 1939. Konrad Zuse’s electromechanical ‘Z Machines’, especially the Z3 of

1941 was a notable achievement in the evolution of computers. The Colossus machines were electronic computing devices used

by British code breakers to help read encrypted German messages during World War II.

The U.S. Army's Ballistics Research Laboratory came up with the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC) in 1946. It came to be known as the first general purpose electronic computer.

UNIVAC 1(Universal Automatic Computer 1) was the commercial computer produced in USA. It was designed by J. Presper Eckert and John Mouchly, the inventors of ENIAC
