Review of Computer from Ed Tech 1

• third revolution in education.

especially so with the advent of the microcomputer
in 1975.Thus emerged
computer technology in education.
• computer-assisted introduction (CAI) was
introduced using the principle of
individualized learning through a positive
climate that includes realism and appeal with
drill exercises that uses color, music and
animation.
• But the evolving pace of innovation in today’s
Information Age is so dynamic that within the
first decade of the 21st century, computer
technology in education has matured to
transform  into an educative information and
communication technology (ICT) in education.
 Through computer technology,
• educators saw the amplification of learning
among computer literacy.
like…
reading, the modern student can now
interact with computer message, even respond
to question or to computer commands.
writing, the learner can form messages
using computer language or program.
 What is ICT?
• Means Information Communications Technology
• Covers any product that will store, retrieve,
manipulate, transmits or receives information
electronically in a digital form.
Ex. personal computers, digital television, email, robots.
• Is concerned with the storage, retrieval, manipulation,
transmission or receipt of digital data. Importantly, it
is also concerned with the way these different uses
can work with each other
 Consider the following important topics that
deal with the way ICT is used and managed in
an organisation
- The nature of information (the "I" in ICT)
this covers topics such as the meaning and value of
information; how information is controlled; the
limitations of ICT; legal considerations
- Management of information
this covers how data is captured, verified and stored
for
effective use; the manipulation, processing and
distribution of information; keeping information secure;
designing networks to share information
- Information systems strategy
this considers how ICT can be used within a business or
organization as part of achieving goals and objectives
• Instructional media consist of audio-visual aids that
served to enhance and enrich the teaching-learning
process.
Examples are the blackboard, photo, film and video.
• educational communication media comprise the
media of communication to audiences including
learners using the print, film, radio, television or
satellite means of communication.
Examples. distance learning was implemented using
correspondence, radio, television, or the computer satellite
system.
• Close to the turn of the 21st century, however,
such a distinction merged owing to the advent
of the microprocessor, also known as the
personal computer (PC). This is due to the fact
that the PC user at home, office and school has
before him a tool for both audio-visual
creations and media communication.
