ICT POLICIES AND SAFETY ISSUES IN TEACHING AND LEARNING

INTRODUCTION

This topic deals with intensive study of ICT Policies and Safety issues in teaching and learning, ICT
enable teaching in the context for it saves the time of both teacher and the student, this can generate
curiosity in student’s mind making them explore more as they will develop interest by using technology.
However, technology should not replace the human teacher, digital instructional tools are just support
as learning materials for teachers which are available anytime. Teachers and students must also be
aware that there are also limitations in the use of different gadgets and other digital instructional tools,
we must also be aware that the use of technology may jeopardize your privacy and security, caution
must be observed to protect individual privacy.

ICT stands for “Information and Communication Technologies”. It refers to technologies that provide
access to information through telecommunications. It is the field of expertise that connects information
technology (computers) and telecommunication networks (the internet) to provide sophisticated
application. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is the convergence of computing,
telecommunication and governance policies for how information should be accessed, secured,
processed, transmitted and stored.

ICT includes traditional data center infrastructure components as well as an increasing number of
content, software, hardware and support services delivered over the internet. Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) can impact student learning when teachers are digitally literate and
understand how to integrate it into the curriculum.

Guide Questions:

1. In chronological arrangement, list down all national ICT Laws, policies and regulation that affects the
classroom’s flow of discussion.

2. Delineate the application of ICT Laws, policies and regulations in teaching and learning.

3. Distinguish ICT Laws, policies and regulations that are linked into the application of teaching and
learning assessments that make advancement in students’ achievement.
DISCUSSION

The international policymakers join forces to successfully implement ICT in educational practice to
address the individual needs of students, the implications of technology for student assessment, and
teacher learning to successfully implement technology (Voogt, 2013). In the 1987 constitution, “the
State shall give priority to research and development, invention, innovation, and their utilization; and to
science and technology education, training, and services. It shall support indigenous, appropriate, and
self-reliant scientific and technological capabilities, and their application to the country’s productive
systems and national life.” DepEd Computerization Program - Beginning in 1996, the Department of
Education (DepED) embarked upon an undertaking that would provide computers to all public
secondary schools in the country.

ICT policies document the frameworks and processes required to benchmark and evaluate an
organization's ICT maturity levels -- including adherence to laws, regulations and contracts.

WHY ICT POLICIES ARE NEEDED?

ICT policies are needed to put a roadmap or course of action to be pursued and adopted by various
governments, organizations, entities involving ICT.

In our country, the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT) has formulated
a roadmap to guide all agencies in the utilization, regulation and enhancement of ICT. Each project has
corresponding policy statements and guidelines.

Department of Education (DepEd) policies on the use of ICT are:

 Technology must be studied first as a separate subject then applied in other learning areas as a tool for
learning how to learn;

 The application of computer skills to the other learning areas is a curriculum policy that stems from
the principle that teaching-learning must not be textbook-driven and educational processes should take
advantage of technological developments, including the application of ICT in teaching and learning,
where appropriate; and

 An education modernization program will equip schools with facilities, equipment, materials, and skills
and introduce new learning and delivery systems necessary to capitalize on recent technological
developments.

Other ICT Policies

SAFETY ISSUES IN ICT

TRAILING CABLES - ICT devices with wires can make a room a potential hazard. Trailing wires are easy to
trip over if they are not secured or tucked away. Causes of tripping over wires. Long wires spread across
a floor. How to prevent tripping over wires. Hide wires in cable ducts. Tuck trailing wires under desks or
carpets. Use wireless technology to eliminate the use of wires altogether.

SPILLED DRINKS OR FOOD - Most ICT devices require an electrical power source. Whenever you have
electrical power sources you run the risk of the electrocution. Causes of Electrocution spilled drinks over
electrical equipment’s. How to Prevent Electrocution keep drinks and foods away from equipment’s.

OVERLOADED POWER SOCKETS - ICT devices require power from a mains outlet. If too many devices are
plugged into a single main at the same time it is possible to overload the circuit and start an electrical
fire. You need to ensure that your room has many plug sockets so you don't have to overload any single
one.

HEAVY OBJECTS FAILING - Some ICT devices are fairly heavy and can cause injury if they fall on you.
Equipment should be positioned securely on strong desks and tables well away from the edge. Causes of
equipment falling, Equipment not positioned securely onto desks. How to prevent equipment failing.
Make sure that equipment is positioned away from the edge of desks. Use strong desks/tables that can
support the weight with ease.

HACKING - is the most popular issues in ICT that circulating in social media nowadays, there are so many
types of hacking someone's software, for example in today’s situation they hacked someone account for
the sake of money and others used to hacked account to humiliate someone.

MALWARE and also known as Malicious ware - Also an instrument that used in hacking someone's
software or account, and sometimes hacker made a suspicious link and if you open that link it will collect
all of your information, that will cause of destroying your software and it might corrupt all of your files.

COMPUTER VIRUS - A computer virus is a malicious program that penetrates vulnerable devices to alter
the way they function, an illegal, harmful program that can change the way your computer runs and
behaves. A computer virus is a piece of software that can 'infect' a computer (install itself) and copy
itself to other computers, without the users' knowledge or permission.

SECURITY OF DATA TRANSFERRED - Using the Internet as has been discussed already, you should always
consider encrypting any sensitive or personal data that is sent or accessed over a public network such as
The Internet.

PHISHING - a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials
and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim
into opening an email, instant message, or text message.

PHARMING - a scamming practice in which malicious code is installed on a personal computer (PC) or
server, misdirecting users to fraudulent websites without their knowledge or consent. similar to
phishing, but instead of deceiving you (as phishing does), a pharming attack deceives your computer.
