Assessment 1

2. Name at least 4 uses of ICT in our daily lives and explain. 

Four uses of ICT in our daily lives are Communication, Job Opportunities, Education and
Socializing. As we all know ICT takes a major role for us by means of communicating,
way back in the past our parents used to make letters and send it via post mail. But now
with the help of ICT it is easier to communicate with our love ones. We can use cellular
phones that are designed for communicating with other people even if they are miles
away from you through chatting, E-mail, voice mail and social networking people
communicate with each other. And it is the cheapest means of communication. In the
employment sector, ICT enables organizations to operate more efficiently, so employing
staff with ICT skills is vital to the smooth running of any business. Being able to use ICT
systems effectively allows employees more time to concentrate on areas of their job role
that require soft skills. Furthermore, Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
can impact student learning when teachers are digitally literate and understand how to
integrate it into curriculum. Schools use a diverse set of ICT tools to communicate,
create, disseminate, store, and manage information. In some contexts, ICT has also
become integral to the teaching learning interaction, through such approaches as
replacing chalkboards with interactive digital whiteboards, using students’ own
smartphones or other devices for learning during class time, and the “flipped classroom”
model where students watch lectures at home on the computer and use classroom time
for more interactive exercises. In addition, the internet and social media provide young
people with a range of benefits, and opportunities to empower themselves in a variety of
ways. Young people can maintain social connections and support networks that
otherwise wouldn't be possible and can access more information than ever before. The
communities and social interactions young people form online can be invaluable for
bolstering and developing young people's self-confidence and social skills. As the ICT
has become abundant, faster and increasingly accessible to non-technical communities,
social networking and collaborative services have grown rapidly enabling people to
communicate and share interest in many more ways, sites like Facebook, Twitter
LinkedIn Youtube, Flicker, second life delicious blogs wiki’s and many more let people of
all ages rapidly share their interest of the movement without others everywhere. But
Facebook seems to be the leading areas of where people communicate and share their
opinions. The Internet can be seen as the international networks of interconnection of
computer networks, the main purpose for the institution of the internet are quest for
information i.e. browsing, electronic mail, known groups fill transfer and access and use
of other computers. Socialization can be seen as a process by which a child adapts a
behavior to be an effective member of the society, which can only be achieved through
learning or education.
