POLICIES
AND ISSUES
ON INTERNET AND IMPLICATIONS TO
TEACHING AND LEARNING
WHAT IS ICT?
The Oxford Dictionary has defined “policy” as a course of action
adopted and pursued by a government, party, ruler, statesman. It is
any course of action adopted as expedient or advantageous. Its
operational definition of policy is a plan of action to guide decisions
and achieve outcomes.

Thus, ICT policies are needed to put a roadmap or course of actions to


be pursued and adopted by various governments, organizations,
entities involving ICT. These include principles and guidelines in the
use of ICT which cover three main areas: telecommunications
(telephone), broadcasting (radio and television) and Internet.
THE NEW ICT TECHNOLOGIES
More recent technological innovations increased the reach and speed of communications which can be
grouped in three categories:

1. Information Technology
This includes the us of computers, which has become indispensable in modern societies to process
data and save time and effort. What are needed will be computer hardware and peripherals, software
and for the user, computer literacy.

2. Telecommunication Technologies
These include telephones (with fax) and the broadcasting of radio and television often through
satellites. Telephone system, radio and TV broadcasting are needed in this category.

3. Networking Technologies
The best known networking technologies is Internet, but it has extended to mobile phone technology,
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VIOP) satellite communications and other forms of communication are
still in their infancy. In addition to Internet, this Category also includes mobile telephones, cable, DSL,
satellite and other broadband connectivity.
THE DICT ROADMAP
In our country, the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT) has
formulated a
roadmap to guide all agencies in the utilization, regulation and enhancement of ICT. Each
project has corresponding policy statements and guidelines.

The ICT for Education (ICT4E) is a program under the DICT that supports all the efforts of the
education sector in incorporating the use of ICT as well as in determining and gaining access
to the infrastructure (hardware, software, telecommunications facilities and others) which
are necessary to use and deploy learning technologies at all levels of education.

IMPLICATIONS TO TEACHING AND LEARNING

For the Teaching and Teaching

- Guide the teachers on what they should teach that relate to ICT, and how to teach it.
- Technology should never replace any human teacher.
- There are rules and regulations that govern the use of technology. Caution should be
observed to protect individual privacy.
- All the issues and many more shall be part of the teaching content as each teacher
will be encouraged to use technology in teaching.
IMPLICATIONS TO TEACHING AND LEARNING

For the Learners and Learning

- The learners of the 21st century are even more advanced than some of the teachers.
However, learners still need guidance on how to use, regulate technology use.
- As there are positive and negative effects of technology use, learners should know the
difference. Learners should not only know the benefits of technology use, but they should also
know how they can be protected from the hazards that technology brings to their lives
- Learners should take advantage of the potential of learning support they can derive such as
the development of higher order thinking skills, the development of learning communities
through collaboration, the enhancement of skills to manage the vast resources as 21st century
learners and many more.
