Telecommunication

Telecommuting as a substitute for telecommunications to describe activities in whichcomputers and modems link group with each other and with resources.

The telecommunications network is also sometimes referred to as library.

We have three key characteristics of cyberspace

Cyberspace is the conceptual world of networked interactions between individuals and

their intellectual creations and everything associated with such networks and interactions.

Telecommunications is best understood as the intersection of a complex infrastructure of

globally networked computers, an almost incomprehensible array of resources (library), a

conceptual world of individuals and ideas sent and received electronically (cyberspace)

and a place where people from all walks of life have the opportunity to share their wants,

thoughts , hopes and dreams (a virtual community)

It is virtual space: a state of

mind that is simultaneouslyreal and artificial

It can be entered only by

means of some sort of physicalaccess device, such as a

computer, telephone, or

television

It enables and facilitates

interaction andcommunication between

indiciduals and groups of

individuals and their and their

creative output , largely

independent of time and

space.


5/15

Asynchronous communication

It can be done at any time of the day or night. People cannot be on the computer at the

same time.

Internet service

provider

ISP is based on

the service they

offer, price, andthe interface

they use.

Email

It lets you send

and receive

electronicmessages on

your computer.Email addresses

follor a certainform. First they

contain a

personal handle

that representsyou. This is

usually your

name or a

nickname. The

second half ofthe address

contains the

name of theservice provider

Linstservs

up of a group of

emails addressfor a group of

people who formtogether around

a commoninterest to

discuss issues,

share

information, orask questions

about a topic. To

participate you

must join a group

Usenet and

newsgroups

UseNet is a

worldwide

network ofcomputers that

allows users toexchange new

articles.

Bulletin boards

they are place

whre you can

post a messagethat other

people can readat a later time.

Bulletin boardsallow people to

Synchronous communications

Synchronous communications refers to electronic interaction that occurs at the same time.

Internet relay chat

IRC or chat for short.

It is when people

from all over the

world to

communicate in real

time

Conferencing tools

It allows you to

interact with people

across vast distances

and in real time.

There are various

forms ofconferencing tools ,

the most common

ones have audio,

video or whiteboard

capabilities, or a

combination of

these abilities.

MUDs, MOOs and

MUSEs

: those are

interactive virtual

worlds that players

construct as they go

along. These

environmentsencourage students

to collaborate and

problem-solve to

build their own

worlds.

Telecommunication tools for accessing information

The growing availability of information and services on the internet Is forcing us to face

massive amounts of information transmitted at accelerating speeds.

Web browser; it is a software program that facilitates

communication between you computer and the web.The two common browsers are Netscape communicator

and Microsofts internet explorer.

World Wide Web: this is an information system that

provides a uniform means of accessing all the different

types of information available on the internet. Hypertext

is a method of presenting information by which clickingon selected words acts as a link to related information.


8/15

Uniform Resource locator: a web pages address is called a uniform resource locator or

URL for short. URL has three parts:

Bookmarks: those are URL that your computer remembers.

Hypertext markup language: it is the language in which WWW documents are written.

Every web page is plain-text file that contains tags or codes.

File transfer protocol: It is a set of files made available on a server for other users on the

Internet to download.

The protocol

identifier

The documents

pathname.

The domain or the

host name of the

server


9/15

There are two types of transfer protocol:

Search engines: It allows you to type in key words or phrases and then search web pages

for these terms.

Netiquette: In order to avoid problems in our interactions with other people, we often

develop a set of rules, called etiquette, that we use In our professional lives or in polite

company.

Interacting with others: computers that are connected together, it is people that give it

life. There people come from many countries, cultures, and backgrounds.

Using resources and services: When accessing resources on a remote computer,

students need to remember they are guests. They should learn not to overstay theirwelcome and to limit the time they spend using a remote system.

Copyrights: materials on the internet are copyrighted and protected by copyright laws.

Commercial Activities: For a long time, commercial activity was not part of the Internet.

However, this is changing as more and more businesses gain access to internet.


10/15

Dos and Donts

Teacher need to help student learn to follow some important general rules of conduct

when the use the internet.

DOs

Be concise. Many people do not have the time toread long messages. If student want people to pay

attention to what they have to say, they should

learn to keep their messages short.

Avoid flaming. A flame is an inflammatory orcritical message. Students can learn to avoid

triggering an upsetting response from a recipient

by not sending junk mail.

Use threads. Threads are series of responses to an

original message. By replying to messagesinstead of starting a new message, students can

help a thread of communication going.

Be polite. Students should learn to personalize

their messages by beginning their message withthe name of the person to whom they are writing.

They should learn how to be respectful.

Be careful when using humor or sarcasm. For the

most part, telecommunications is a nonvisual formof communication.

Check e-mail regularly. Like a mailbox at home, e-

mail should be checked on a regular basis. Failureto do this can result in not receiving or responding

to a message in a timely manner.

Edit messages before replying. Sometimes students

might wish to reply to a message someone sent ona listserv.

Subject Lines. Any message should always include a

subject line that lets the recipient know what themessage is about.

Lurking. When first joining a listserv, take some

time to monitor the list before posting.

Replying to a message on a list. If students aremembers of listserv and somebody asks for help,students should offer help if they can.

Password. Students should learn that a password is

very private and should be kept secret andchanged frequently.

Be forgiving. Above all else, student should learn to

be willing to forgive small mistakes

DON'Ts

Personal messages. Personal messages should

always go to the person for whom they areintended.

Chain letters. Never send chain letters though e-

mail. They are forbidden on the internet.

Avoid ALL CAPS. Teachers should help studentsunderstand that they should not use all capital

letters in their messages.

Never assume privacy. Students should be helpedto understand that they should never assume that

their e-mail messages are private.

Do not flame another. Students should be

cautioned never to send inflammatory messages toother people.

Spamming. Spamming is equivalent to the kink

mail we received in our mailboxes at home orwork. It refers to mass mailings of electronic

garbage to people you do not know.

Do not assume that information is current.

Students should learn not to assume that theinformation they receive is current or accurate.

Do not perpetuate hoaxes. Many hoaxes circulate

around the Internet community. These are passedon by people with good intentions who are trying

to help others.

Do not open e-mail messages from unknownsources. Sometimes e-mail messages with

attachments contain a virus.


11/15

Search strategies

Analyze the Topic: The first step in beginning a search is a careful analysis of the

topic.

Choose a Search Engine: Choosing the correct search engine to use can help

students find what they are looking for. Narrow the Search: One student have analyzed their topics and chosen a sear

engine, there are some strategies they can use to narrow the search.

Troubleshooting Unsuccessful Searches: Generally, these strategies result in

the information students seek. However, they may find on occasion that their well-

planned search did not produce any results at all.

Evaluating information

Learning to search the Internet for information is an important skill, but the ability to make

informed judgments about what is found on-line is even more important.

Separating Form from Content: Much of the information on the internet is

deceptively enticing. When image becomes substance, and the picture all too often

substitutes for thousands of words, students are in danger of being misled.

Attending to the Source: Knowing the educational and or occupational

background of the creator or compiler of an information resource is important in

determining the reliability and accuracy of the resource and the information it

contains.

Checking for Validity: Determining the intended audience of a particular Internetresource will reveal the intended treatment of the information contained in the work.

Teaching with telecommunications

Telecommunications can help students master the curriculum in effective and meaningful

ways. It can bring the worlds libraries to students. It can help students understand the

global society in which they live. It can help them practice important research and writing

skills.

Telecommunications can change the way teachers teach.

Telecommunications can provide in depth and current resources and information.

Using Telecommunications can provide the opportunity to make learning come

alive, to make it more relevant and more realistic.

re-create a event or aprocess

We Mentoring. In Webmentoring, students are

pairs via e-mail withexperts or knowledgeablepeople in the field they are

studying.

Electronic Pen Pals, KeyPals. Using this strategy,

students are partnered tocommunicate with anotherperson- a student, seniorcitizen, or professional in

the field.

Cooperative Challenge. Incooperative challenges,

students work together tomeet a challenge or solve a

problem.

Web Collaboration. Whenschools partner via e-mailor meet virtually at a web-

site.

Web Resource. The Webresource strategy takes

advantage of the Internetas a research tool


13/15

An integrated internet lesson

Telecommunications is the latest technology application to reach schools. Carefully and

creatively integrated with the ongoing classroom curriculum, it can add an important

dimension to learning. No longer must learning be confined by the four walls of the

classroom.


14/15

Know we have different options to

involve our students into technology.

We have the resources of how we

can evaluate them. We can improve

their skills with new techniques and

it is not necessary for the teacher to

be on line.
