ICT TOOLS
ICT Definition:
ICT stands for INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY.
ICT refers to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications. It is similar to Information Technology (IT), but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication mediums.
ICT TOOLS Meaning:
ICT tools are devices or objects used in information and communication technology.
For ex;- computer ,cell phones ,cell phone towers, video conferencing, software, radio, television , laptop etc.
TYPES OF ICT TOOLS
COMPUTER:
Computer is an electronic device that is used for storing, organizing, and finding words, numbers, and pictures, for doing calculations, and for controlling other machines.
INTERNET:
Its a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols.
When two computers are connected over the Internet, they can send and receive all kinds of information such as text, graphics, voice, video, and computer programs.
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD:
An interactive whiteboard is a large interactive display in the form factor of a whiteboard. It can either be a standalone touchscreen computer used independently to perform tasks and operations, or a connectable apparatus used as a touchpad to control computers from a projector.
The majority of IWBs sold globally involve one of four forms of interaction between the user and the content projected on the whiteboard. These are an infrared scan technology; a resistive, touch-based board; an electromagnetic pen and associated software; and an ultrasonic pen.
Uses for interactive whiteboards may include:
Running software that is loaded onto the connected PC, such as a web browsers or other software used in the classroom.
Capturing and saving notes written on a whiteboard to the connected PC
Capturing notes written on a graphics tablet connected to the whiteboard
Controlling the PC from the white board using click and drag, markup which annotates a program or presentation
Using OCR software to translate cursive writing on a graphics tablet into text
Using an Audience Response System so that presenters can poll a classroom audience or conduct quizzes, capturing feedback onto the whiteboard.
TABLET:
A tablet computer, commonly shortened to tablet, is a mobile device, typically with a mobile operating system and touchscreen display processing circuitry, and a rechargeable battery in a single thin, flat package. Tablets, being computers, do what other personal computers do, but lack some input/output (I/O) abilities that others have. Modern tablets largely resemble modern smartphones, the only differences being that tablets are relatively larger than smartphones, with screens 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured diagonally, and may not support access to a cellular network.
iPad:
iPad is a line of tablet computers designed, developed and marketed by Apple Inc., which run the iOS mobile operating system.
The biggest difference between the iPad and Android tablets is the operating system since the iPad runs on iOS while Android tablets run on Google’s Android; both starting on smartphones and are now being used in tablets.
iPhone:
The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple that combines a computer, iPod, digital camera and cellular phone into one device with a touchscreen interface. The iPhone runs the iOS operating system (OS), and as of 2017, there were 2.2 million apps available for it through the Apple App Store, according to Statista.
Mobile phone:
A mobile phone, cell phone, cellphone, or hand phone, sometimes shortened to simply mobile, cell or just phone, is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while the user is moving within a telephone service area. The radio frequency link establishes a connection to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator, which provides access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Modern mobile telephone services use a cellular network architecture, and, therefore, mobile telephones are called cellular telephones or cell phones,
Digital Camera:
A digital camera or digicam is a camera that captures photographs in digital memory. Most cameras produced today are digital, and while there are still dedicated digital cameras, many more cameras are now being incorporated into mobile devices, portable touchscreen computers, which can, among many other purposes, use their cameras to initiate live videotelephony and directly edit and upload imagery to others
.Digital and movie cameras share an optical system, typically using a lens with a variable diaphragm to focus light onto an image pickup device.
SKYPE:
Skype is a telecommunications application that specializes in providing video chat and voice calls between computers, tablets, mobile devices, the Xbox One console, and smartwatches via the Internet. Skype also provides instant messaging services. Users may transmit text, video, audio and images.
Video conferencing:
Videotelephony comprises the technologies for the reception and transmission of audio-video signals by users at different locations, for communication between people in real-time. A videophone is a telephone with a video display, capable of simultaneous video and audio for communication between people in real-time.
Benefits of ICT in Education:
Enables self-paced learning. Provides access to wide range of up-to-date learning materials. Enriches learning through a combination of audio, video, images, text and animation. Enhances learning through interaction and collaboration.
