Information These are processed data that

provides meaningful thought

Procedures A series of actions conducted in a

certain order to make sure that the
system runs smoothly.

People Data is entered and created by

human

Developmental Activity

Activity 1. Classification of technology according to its use.

Study the following examples in categorizing the uses of technology.
1. Search engine —Information
2. Social Media – Communication and Information
3. Telephone- Communication
4. Email- Communication
5. Government sites – Information
6. Software application- Information
Some technologies such as social media are classified as both Information and Communication technologies because aside
from using them to communicate and collaborate with diverse type of people, they also serve as source of information among
people who share the same interest or who belong to the same community.
Instructions: Based from the given example, identify the ff. whether they are used to generate or collect
information or are used for communication
1. Cellphone =
2. Facebook=
3. Gmail=
4. YouTube=
5. MSWord=

Activity 2. Identifying the technology that is capable of transmitting data electronically.

Instructions: Write T if the image is capable of transmitting data electronically and M if it is impossible for the
device to transmit data electronically. Example,

Given image: Answer: -T

Instructions: By looking at the given example, Write T if the image is capable of transmitting data
electronically and M if impossible for the device to transmit data electronically.

The Niche of ICT (Supplementary Reading)

The rapid growth in Information Communication and Technologies (ICT) have brought remarkable
changes in the twenty-first century, as well as affected the demands of modern societies. ICT is becoming
increasingly important in our daily lives and in our educational system. Therefore, there is a growing
demand on educational institutions to use ICT to teach the skills and knowledge students need for the 21st
century. Realizing the effect of ICT on the workplace and everyday life, today’s educational institutions try
to restructure their educational curricula and classroom facilities, in order to bridge the existing technology
gap in teaching and learning. This restructuring process requires effective adoption of technologies into
existing environment in order to provide learners with knowledge of specific subject areas, to promote
meaningful learning and to enhance professional productivity (Tomei, 2005).

Subsequently, The proliferation of the Internet and mobile phones has provided a powerful channel to
widen the reach of education in children and adolescents. In developed countries, over 90% of children and
adolescents were found to have had access to the Internet at school and/or home. More importantly, they
perceived the Internet as their primary resource for seeking various set of information.

Relevance of ICT and how does it contribute to the society

In modern society ICT is ever-present, with over three billion people having access to the Internet. With
approximately 8 out of 10 Internet users owning a smartphone, information and data are increasing by leaps
and bounds. This rapid growth, especially in developing countries, has led ICT to become a keystone of
everyday life, in which life without some facet of technology renders most of clerical, work and routine tasks
dysfunctional. The most recent authoritative data, released in 2014, shows "that Internet use continues to
grow steadily, at 6.6% globally in 2014 (3.3% in developed countries, 8.7% in the developing world); the
number of Internet users in developing countries has doubled in five years (2009-2014), with two thirds of
all people online now living in the developing world.
