Concept

• Information: Information s nothing but the data in a properly decoded & arranged manner.
• Communication: When ideas, emotions & information are exchanged between two or more persons is called as communication.
• Technology: Is the sum of techniques, skills, methods & processes used in accomplishment of Objectives.

Meaning & nature of ICT

• ICT is a broad and comprehensive term, which comprises information technology and communication technology.

Information technology includes radio, television, computer and Internet, teleconferencing and mobile.

• types of communication technologies. These are satellite based communication and terrestrial based communication.
• Satellite based communication is the communication, which takes place between sender and receiver through a communication satellite.
• Terrestrial based communication is the communication, which takes place through a network of transmitters spread across a geographical area, a country, or a state. This type of communication is used in the transmission of radio and television in India.
• However, with the launch of a series of satellites by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), satellite based communication is being used for telecommunication.

Definition of ICT

• Communicating information effectively by making use of appropriate technology is called information and communication technology (ICT).
• ICTs 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, broadcasting technologies (radio and television), & telephony, etc.
• According to C-DEC, Department of Information Technology, Government of India “the term, information and communication technologies (ICT), refers to forms of technology that are used to transmit, store, create, display, share or exchange information by electronic means.

This broad definition of ICT includes such technologies as radio, television, video, DVD, telephone (both fixed line and mobile phones), satellite systems, computer and network hardware and software; as well as the equipment and services associated with these technologies, such as videoconferencing, e-mail and blogs.”

Components of ICT

Need of ICT

Importance of ICT

• Mass education: There has been explosion of population and knowledge. Therefore, a need to educate the masses. So, ICT has a tremendous application to educate a large section of people and to impart a large amount of knowledge in a limited span of time. In this regard, the mass media viz., TV, radio, and other modern technologies like computers and information technology has a lot of scope.
• Historical information: Any branch of knowledge that we deal with has a historical base. Such information is of tremendous importance for the students to understand any branch of knowledge in its totality. for example, we cannot have the same view of Nuclear test conducted at Pokhran (1998). So such records.......in the form of a film taken when the incident is happening are of immense value to the learners which ICT can only provide.

• Costly and hazardous experiments: In many fields of science and technology there are some experiments having great implications for effective learning which are not advisable for the teacher to conduct in the classroom because of cost and health hazards involved. Such experiments, once conducted carefully in the laboratory or elsewhere can be recorded with the help of new information and communication technology and be used by teachers and students for effective learning.
• Gaming and simulation: Children can learn, through play, many concepts that just cannot be taught in the formal set of the classroom. The gaming and simulation has a great scope in the training of military personnel and in the field of aviation.

• Distance education: Today there is a great need for personnel training and education on regular basis for updating oneself in the field of work. In this regard, distance education programmes, a relatively less formal process of education, have acquired new status. Educational technology with its innovative practices can educate the learners who cannot come to the classroom setup for their education. In this regard programmed learning materials, modules, contact programme, and counseling are some innovations which can help distance learners.
• Collection, storing and retrieval of information: There are digital cameras and mobiles which provide us the facility to take same photographs of events that take place in a fraction of second.
• Research: As mentioned earlier, information can be collected and stored to be used for educational purposes. Information can also be collected and stored in the same way for research. Further, for analysis and reporting, computer can be used.
