What I knew before.......
I thought ICT for learners was going to be the usual "learn about the parts of a computer". But it wasn't. I learned more than that!
I thought before that using the computer was limited to the applications that were already in it. And everything else needed internet and that you had to pay. I was then introduced to the google drive that allowed me to share everything I learned to everyone. Then, I soon learned to blog, to use webquests, and furthermore use the online applications.
What I also knew before had changed. ICT for learners as I knew was Information and Communication Technology. To communicate and share information using a telephone, the computer, all kinds of technology. But there is so much more to that! I found out you can actually share things at the same time.
What I also learned along the way is to be responsible of what you are sharing because it is online, meaning it is public, everyone can read it. You must be responsisble know who you are sharing it with. What you must also know is that because you want to becareful of what your intellectual property others want the same. Yes, you should not steal their ideas. That will be called plagiarism. I thought before the reason for sharing is to let people know what you know, yet at the same time you should not copy what they made. It still confuses me but what I know is that you should at least acknowledge the authors.
ICT is really helping our lives. It connects the world but just remember to be responsible.

Information and Communications Technology
What do I think of Information and Communications Technology?
Information and Communications Technology, also known as ICT is everywhere. It is basically used for everything. From school and back home we face the world of technology. This blog itself is a form of communicating through the use of technology, and so, giving information to readers. Yet, technology is not just limited to social networking sites like Facebook, search engines like Google, and calling a friend using a cellphone. Actually, ICT is the use of television, cars, and GPS's too.I believe that there are numerous advantages of these new computer developments.
I don't know how it happened but it just did. I learned about a keyboard and soon started typing. Through the years I've learned more about this technological devices that I can use for more productive reasons. One example of this is the use of Microsoft office or other programs just like it wherein I can write or type my assignments/projects anywhere from the computer at school, to my laptop in my house to anywhere I bring my cellphone. Another, is the use of a Google account, in which I recently learned and practiced. I think I can use the term "cool" because it is. There is so much more to learn about it.
ICT is present in the corporate world, market area, fashion industry, government, hospitals, schools, homes and even in a car. Information and Communication Technology has taken over the world that they also put up internet cafes too. ICT is very helpful in our everyday lives. It helps us to express our feelings, to draw our minds, to share information, and most importantly to connect to the world.
I think the impact of ICT has changed the world. The internet joined the many countries and united them through the world wide web. It is so wonderful that such inventions exist because I can collaborate with my friends online which we just learned at school. But, I also think that there are a few disadvantages for using technology. One reason is the use of the internet for assignments, there are times where we cannot connect to what was given and so it affects our lessons. Another is abusing the power of technology by sharing inappropriate posts.
Overall I think there are more advantages of ICT than disadvantages. It all ends up to the user himself/herself to become a responsible netizen.
