with sessions by Sir Shameer Khan and Sir Sharath RV, setting the stage for an engaging and
informative session. The half-day event was divided into multiple segments, each focusing on
a different area of ICT.

The primary objectives of the workshop were:

• To familiarize students with the foundational concepts of Information and Communication
Technology.
•To explore the practical applications of ICT tools such as Augmented Reality, Virtual
Reality, Quizziz, Scribd, and Blogger.
•To facilitate hands-on learning experiences that empower students to use these tools
effectively.
 Introduction to ICT

Communication refers to the process of exchanging information, thoughts, ideas, or feelings

between individuals or groups through various methods, such as spoken or written words,
gestures, body language, symbols, or even technological tools like phones and computers. It's
a fundamental aspect of human interaction that enables us to convey and receive messages,
share knowledge, express emotions, and establish connections with others. Effective
communication involves not only transmitting information but also ensuring that the intended
message is understood by the recipient in the way it was intended.

ICT stands for "Information and Communication Technology." It refers to the broad range of
technologies and tools that are used to manage and communicate information. ICT
encompasses both hardware and software components that enable the processing, storage,
retrieval, and transmission of data and information. This includes computers, smartphones,
networking equipment, software applications, the internet, and various digital communication
platforms.

ICT plays a crucial role in modern society, enabling individuals, businesses, organizations,
and governments to access and share information, communicate with each other, conduct
transactions, and perform a wide range of tasks efficiently and effectively. It has
revolutionized the way we work, learn, communicate, and interact with the world around us.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) encompasses the vast realm of

technologies and tools that facilitate the acquisition, management, storage, processing, and
communication of information. It is an integral part of modern society, influencing how we
interact, work, learn, and communicate in various spheres of life.

At its core, ICT merges the disciplines of information technology and communication
technology. Information technology involves hardware and software components that enable
the processing and organization of data, while communication technology focuses on the
means by which information is transmitted across distances.
