POLICIES and

ISSUES on INTERNET
and IMPLICATIONS to
TEACHING and LEARNING
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
• identify the key internet policies and issues in
education;
• formulate an open letter suggesting ICT Policies,
and addressing the current issues in teaching and
learning;
• value the significance of awareness in terms of
policies and issues involving ICT both as a learner and a
future educator.

The New ICT Technologies
1. Information Technology –
includes the use of computers, which
has become indispensable in modern
societies to process data and save
time and effort. What are needed will
be computer hardware and
peripherals, software and for the user,
computer literacy.
2. Telecommunication Technologies –
include telephones (with fax) and the
broadcasting of radio and television often
through satellites. Telephone system, radio
and TV broadcasting are needed in this
category.
3. Networking Technologies – The best
known of networking technologies is
internet, but has extended to mobile phone
technology, Voice Over Internet Protocol
(VOIP) satellite communications and other
forms of communications are still in their
infancy.
The DICT
Roadmap
The ICT for Education (ICT4E)
1. ICT in education Masterplan for all levels,
including a National Roadmap for faculty
Development in ICT in Education. A National
Framework Plan for ICTs in Basic Education
was developed.

2. Content and application development through

the Open Content in Education Initiative (OCEI)
which converts DepEd materials into interactive
multi-media content, develop applications used
in schools, and conduct students and teachers’
competitions to promote the development of
education-related web content.
3. PhedNET is a “walled” garden that hosts
educational learning and teaching materials
and applications for use by the Filipino
students, their parents and teachers. All
public high schools will be part of this
network with only DepEd-approved multi-
media applications, materials and mirrored
internet sites accessible from school’s PCs.

4. Established Community eLearning Centers

called eskwela for out-of-school youth (OSY)
providing them with ICT-enhanced
alternative education opportunities.
5. Digital Media Arts Program which builds
digital media skills for government using
Open Source technologies. Particular
beneficiary agencies include the Philippine
Information Agency and the other
government media organizations, the
Cultural Center of the Philippines, National
Commission for Culture and Arts and other
government art agencies, State Universities
and Colleges and other local government
units.
6. eQuality Program for Tertiary education through
partnerships with state universities and colleges
(SUCs) to improve quality of IT education and
the use of ICT in education in the country,
particularly outside of Metro Manila.

7. ICT skills strategic plan which develops an inter-

agency approach to identifying strategic and
policy and program recommendations to
address ICT skills demand-supply type.
Some Issues
on ICT and
Internet Policy
and
Regulations
Issue No 1: Freedom of Expression
and Censorship
The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides that
everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and
religion, likewise the right to freedom of opinion and expression.
However, there are practices that violate these provisions in the
use of internet.
Some examples are the following:
1. Individual rights are given up in order to have access to
electronic networks. Microsoft Network’s (MSN) contracts
provide protection of individuals. However, Microsoft reserves
the rights, in its sole direction, to terminate access to any or all
MSN sites or services.
2. Censorship restricts the transmission of information
by blocking it or filtering the information. Blocking is
preventing access to whole areas of internet based
upon the “blacklist” of certain Internet address,
location or email addresses while filtering is sifting
the packets of data or messages as they move
across computer networks and eliminating those
considered “undesirable” materials.

3. Defamation actions may be used to silence critics.

This action deters the freedom of expression.
Issue No. 2: Privacy and Security
Privacy policies are an issue. Most commercial sites have a privacy
policy. When someone uses a site and clicks “I agree”, it is as if
you have turned over private information to any authority that
may access it.
There are several types of privacy as shown by the following
examples:

1. For most, privacy means “personal privacy” the right of

individuals not to have their home, private life or personal life
interfered with.
2. Privacy of communication refers to the protection
from interference with communication over the phone
or internet. Respect of privacy of communications is
an essential prerequisite for the maintenance of
human relationship via technological communications
media.
3. Information privacy is related to the use of computers
and communication systems which are able to hold
and process information about large numbers of
people at a high speed. It is important to ensure that
information will only be used for purposes for which it
was gathered and will not be disclosed to others
without consent of the individuals.
Issue No. 3: Surveillance and Data
Retention
The use of electronic communications has enhanced the
development of indirect surveillance, there is no direct contact
between the agent and the subject of surveillance but evidence
of activities can be traced. The new and powerful form of indirect
surveillance is dataveillance. Dataveillance is the use of
personal information to monitor a person’s activities while data
retention is the storage and use of information from
communication system.
Issue No. 4: E-pollutants from E-waste
Large amount of e-waste is generated by ICT. These are
particular, terminal equipment's used for computing (PCs,
laptops), broadcasting (television and radio sets), telephony
(fixed and mobile phones) and peripherals (fax machines,
printers, and scanners).

The accumulated e-waste is due to rapid turnover of

equipment due to rapid improvement of software. While material
waste can be destroyed by crushing, toxic material brought
about by the different equipment requires utmost management.
The quantities of e-waste are increasing in both
developed and developing countries. A very dismal
state is that there is a significant amount of electronic
waste than has been shipped from industrial
countries to developing countries, using less
environmentally responsible procedure.

Remedies include standardization and regulatory

measures to increase the life cycle of equipment
before they become obsolete. Efficient extraction of
toxic components and requiring the recycling by both
consumers and equipment vendors are selling must
be required.
Implications of Technology for
Teaching
A. For Teachers and Teaching

1. Provides essential support to teachers.

2. Modernizes the teaching-learning
environment.
3. Enhances teaching-learning methods and
strategies in teaching.
4. Opens opportunities for educational
research.
5. Improves the capability of teachers and
inculcates scientific attitude.
6. Serves as an avenue for teacher
professional development.
7. Encourages scientific attitude.
B. For Learners and Learning

1. Supports learners on learning

how to learn on their own.
2. Develops the communication
skills of learners through
social interactions.
3. Augments learners’ higher-
order-thinking skills: critical
thinking, problem
solving and creativity.
E-ssue
Zoom gave data to third parties without users' knowledge
An April 2020 piece from The New York Times alleged that popular video
conferencing site Zoom engaged in undisclosed data mining during user
conversations. The coverage asserted that when a person signed into a
meeting, Zoom transmitted their data to a system that matched individuals with
their LinkedIn profiles.

The incident happened via a subscription-based tool called LinkedIn Sales

Navigator that Zoom offered customers to assist with their marketing needs.

Moreover, when someone signed into a Zoom meeting with an anonymous name,
the tool still connected that person to their respective LinkedIn profile. Thus,
the person had their real name revealed to a fellow user despite efforts to keep
it private. Zoom promised to disable the tool and remove it from the company's
offerings.
APPLICATION
