This document discusses the evolution of computers from first to fifth generations and the role of ICT in education. It covers the following main points: - ICT refers to technology used for information processing, including computers, communication devices, and software applications. - Computers have evolved from the first generation using vacuum tubes to the fifth generation using ultra-large scale integration and artificial intelligence capabilities. - Teachers have a role in developing students' information management skills, technological abilities, and ability to use ICT tools like electronic health information systems. - ICT in education is supported by constructivist learning theories and allows for student-centered, inquiry-based, and collaborative learning approaches through technologies.

- 7. What is ICT? • ICT is the technology required for information processing, in particular, the use of electronic computers, communication devices and software applications to convert, store, protect, process, transmit and retrieve information from anywhere, anytime. DATA INFORMATION 7
- 8. Evolution of computers FIRST GENERATION (1940-1956) SECOND GENERATION (1956-1963) THIRD GENERATION (1964-1971) FOURTH GENERATION (1971- PRESENT) FIFTH GENERATION (PRESENT & BEYOND) NEW ERA COMPUTER 8
- 9. FIRST GENERATION (1940-1956) • vacuum tubes • machine language • magnetic tape 9
- 10. SECOND GENERATION (1956-1963) • Transistors • magnetic core • assembly language 10
- 11. THIRD GENERATION (1964-1971) • Integrated Circuit • programming languages – BASIC, Pascal, C, COBOL, and Fortran 11
- 12. FOURTH GENERATION (1971- 1980) • Microprocessor • VLSI technology (Very Large Scale Integrated circuits) • 5000 transistors and other circuit elements on a single chip • Object-Oriented Programming 12
- 13. FIFTH GENERATION (PRESENT & BEYOND) • ULSI technology (Ultra Large Scale Integration) • High-level languages – C and C++, Java, .Net • Artificial Intelligence capabilities • Multi-media 13
- 16. Changes Constant innovations and revolutionary changes due to scientific and technological explosion Digital revolution Satellite technology Wireless communication Scientific discoveries and inventions 16
- 17. Role of Trainers/Teachers Trainers should create opportunities for students to develop the necessary competencies: Information management skills storing, manipulating, retrieving, utilising and disseminating information Technological mind, interest and abilities: Computer literacy and skills - ability to utilize ICT Ability to use electronic health information systems Ability to use advanced health care equipment Ability to operate in virtual realities 17
- 18. DEVELOPMENTS OF ICT Computer networks: – Local area network – internet and WWW ICT-based communication: – E-mail – Bulletin boards – Chatting – Video-conferencing – Social networks Learning experienced in a networked computer laboratory Utilising the internet: – Information access – Self-directed learning – Interdependent, collaborative learning Virtual classroom and online learning 18
- 19. Theoretical Foundations of ICT Constructivism: Is based on the premise that knowledge CANNOT be transferred from one person to another but is rather constructed by the learner. Knowledge is an understanding, which is generated from past and present learning experiences 19
- 20. Theoretical foundations of ICT(cont.): Constructivism Supports student-centered learning Supports inquiry-based learning. The educator mediates between information- communication technologies, learning experiences, the learning content and the students 20
- 21. Educational Approaches/Styles • Mastery learning • Discovery learning • Problem-based learning • Gaming • Simulation • Collaborative learning 21
- 25. Software Types • System Software – Operating system : Communicates with hardware devices. Controls and monitors the proper use of various hardware resources like CPU, memory, peripheral devices like monitor, printer etc. • Application Software – Word processing software – Spreadsheet software – Database software – Education software – Entertainment software • Utility Software – Anti-virus – Registry cleaners – Disk defragmenters – Data backup utility – Disk cleaners 25
- 26. Application Software • Word Processing • Presentation • Desktop Publishing • Electronic Spreadsheets • Database Management • Graphics • Communications • Integrated Applications • Software Development • Business Software 26
- 27. Computer Skills Required • Access and organize information – Google • Using effectively the communication tools • Mobile gadgets 27
- 28. Google Tools • Gmail • Google Calendar • Google Translate • Google Earth • Google Scholar • Google Plus • Google Drive • Google Docs • Google Map • Google Chrome • Google Classroom 28
