ICT FOR DEVELOPMENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS: AN IDEA TO GLOBAL LEADERS..
In today's life technology has become the main source of
getting not only education but also for jobs.And when it comes to most things in
life parents talk and kids listen and learn.But that theory goes out the window
when it comes to ICT. But what is
ICT actually?ICT stands for Information
and Communication Technology and refers to technologies that provide access to
information through telecommunications. It is similar to Information Technology
(IT), but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the
Internet, wireless networks, cell phones,and other communication mediums.
Child online protection and cyber security:-
Nowadays,In this area kids are out in front and parents are
especially after a chase. While most parents are busy learning the full
capability of ICT, and picking up tips from the kids along the way, their children
are blogging and chatting online, using the web as a research tool and working
on online projects.Their children are being more forward.Also because of this
when any children will grow up they will no longer need the support of their
parents,teachers or any people.We know technologies will always be
developed.Children will know more about the technologies their mind will be
more intelligent,brilliant and clever than that of today's world.They will be
able to discover more scientific devices.With the help of ICT we can say that the
future of the world will be more brighter.The world will be covered with
technologies and there will be no such place that where there is no
technology.But what should we do now to have these type of bright future.At first
while conducting programmes which address children’s safe use of the internet
it is therefore necessary to stay up to date as we make great effort constantly
to make the experience of going online more safer and better.The children of
today's era prefer more technologies than reading books.They are more irritate
to read books.Their minds are diverted to devices like mobile,computer
etc.So,if the children prefer these technologies why don't the people use these
technologies to read and study.Internet can be the main source of getting
information.If children get technologies to study their mind will not be diverted
and the will be full concentrated towards their study.Also Over 90% of teachers felt that concentration in the classroom
increased due to use of the visualizer/document camera.In the future those
children will be able to develop the different devices like cleaning
environment machines,those machines which can help the world free from
deforestation and other natural calamities.
But to do these there should be the online security for
children.Many steps should be taken to protect children and young people from
age inappropriate and illegal content and age inappropriate contacts with third
parties.Like move your home computer to a central area,make browsing the
Internet a family activity,visit Internet sites together,spend some time
getting to know their online friends,make it easy for your children to talk with you about their
online activities. Let them know they can talk with you about things they might
stumble upon online that worry them,software programs can help secure your
Internet access at home by filtering websites and preventing spam.
ICT can change the world totally.But why is it not implemented?
As we know that there are many countries with don't know about the
technologies.With recent budget cuts,schools aren't investing in technology.Due
to current budgetary and resource constraints, a widespread investment in ICTs
in education is probably not possible in most developing countries.Also putting
ICT tools in schools alone is not enough to get instructors’ and students’
attention to use technology for teaching and learning. A study by Zaho, et al
(2002) shows that a supportive school environment is important for successful
technology implementation. Support facilities are one of things needed for the
effective implementation of technology in education. Leadership plays a key
role in the implementation and integration ICT in education.Many teacher- or
student - initiated ICT projects have been undermined by lack of support from
above. Access to the internet is highly limited in remote areas, and relatively
poor infrastructure in developing nations such as supply of electricity makes this worse
(Gulati 2008). Low infrastructure is the fundamental problem for developing
countries to deal with and it might take a long time and huge funding to
improve. Low literacy rates also hinder locals in remote areas from accessing
information through the internet and due to the dominance of English on the
internet, non-English speaking local people are isolated from the benefits of
using internet.
If you teach ICT, or manage a school network, then you will
know that building effective and reliable ICT solutions for education that
support 21st Century educational initiatives is a demanding and skilled task.
ICT should consider cost and effectiveness so that policy makers can properly
select the most effective parts out of many areas such as building library,
improving teacher’s quality and adopting distance learning.The measures like
supplying computers and connectivity and building school computer labs,enabling
instruction in computer programming and computer literacy,developing and
disseminating new curricula in electronic format distance learning, and enabling
better administration in the education sector, particularly through the
development of education management information systems.
The people of today's era should know about the ICT and how
it can the world.As we know that the main aim of ICT To help learners become
competent, confident, responsible and critical users of ICT by making
efficient, effective and creative,To encourage learners to develop the
appropriate personal skills essential for independent lifelong learning through
ICT,To enable learners to take control of their own learning.And we can only do
this when we share our ideas with each other,help each other.And we should
remember that 'Everything is okay in the end, if it's not ok, then it's not the
end'.So to have a bright end then we should share our ideas about ICT and
implement it.
