LESSON 9: Computer as Information and Communication Technology
Through computer technology, educators saw the amplification of learning along
with computer literacy. Much Like reading, the modern student can now interact
with computer messages; even respond to questions or to computer commands.
Again like writing, the learner can form messages using computer language or
program.
Some computer-assisted instruction (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. The
novelty of CAI has not waned to this day especially in the basic education level as
this is offered by computer-equipped private schools. But the evolving pace of
innovation in todays 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.
The Personal Computer (PC) as ICT
Until the nineties, it was still possible to distinguish between instructional
media and the educational communication media.
Instructional media consist of audio-visual aids that served to enhanced
and enrich the teaching-learning process. Examples are the blackboard, photo,
film and video.
On the other hand, educational communication media comprise the media
of communication. For example, the 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.

REFLECTION:
Personal Computers are useful in the learning process. Students at home can
continue using their pcs in their assignments and projects without spending
much time in the library looking for the exact book. Even if the students are not in
school, they can still continue to study, explore and search. Aside from that, PCs
are also use in communication. One can communicate from a person in the far
using the computer or can watch a movie in it. It has also been use as a radio for
some for music can be store. Typing a project would not be difficult at all for one
can delete wrong words or sentences without erasures. In offices, PCs are useful
in storing company information, make databases for reports or programs for
company use.
