Many people ask what is ICT. What is the meaning or definition of
ICT? The acronym ICT is often used in many different contexts. For
example, people refer to the ICT industry, ICT sector, ICT companies, ICT law (laws like the POPI Act, the ECT Act, and the Cybercrimes and Cybersecurity Bill), the ICT BEE Charter, ICT governance and ICT legislation. But what is the acronym ICT actually short for? With the acronym you lose the “and” and commas – this creates ambiguity.
Wikipedia defines ICT as “information and communication technology“. They also say that their explanation may require clean-up to meet their quality standards – I might give it a go.
The latest text book on ICT law says that is a shortening for and the book is entitled “Information and Communications Technology Law“. In the book itself the authors do not go into details as to why they believe ICT is a shortening of information and communications technology. I don’t agree with their shortening because their book deals with information law and communications law – and not just information technology law or communications technology law. The title is narrower than the content. For example, data protection is not just about information technology.
There are various relevant sections in the black economic empowerment charter for the ICT sector, which I have quoted below for ease of reference. The ICT BEE Charter is unfortunately poorly drafted and contradicts itself. Have a look at the sections below.
For example, the drafters have defined ICT in different ways. Initially, ICT is a shortening for “Information, Communication and Technology”, but then in the definition of ICT it is defined as “Information and Communication Technology”. As illustrated above, there is a difference in meaning between these two and therefore the ICT BEE Charter contradicts itself. In my view, they got it right initially.
An example of poor drafting is the definition of “Information & Communications Technologies Sector”. It is not clear what it means – I’m not even going to try to interpret.

Assalamualaikum wr.wb for the readers of this article.
first of all, i would like to say big thanks for visiting this blog, i am very happy because i still can share an information. today i would like to share an article of ICT in learning and learning processes, may it be useful for us. amiiin
Information and Communication Technologies have recently gained
groundswell of interest. It is a significant research area for many
scholars around the globe. Their nature has highly changed the face of
education over the last few decades.
Blanskat, Blamire, kefala (2006) conducted a study carried out in
national, international, and European schools. With the aim to draw
evidences regarding the advantages and benefits of ICT in schools
achievements. It seeks to measure the impact of ICT on students’
outcomes. The study also tried to establish a link between the use of
ICT and students’ results in exams. The findings are interesting: ICT
has positive impact on students’ performances in primary schools
particularly in English language and less in science. Schools with
higher level of e-maturity show a rapid increase in performances in
scores compared to those with lower level.
In addition, schools with sufficient ICT resources achieved better results than those that are not well-equipped. There is a significant improvement on learners’ performances. Finally, teachers become more convinced that educational achievements of pupils are due to good ICT use. In fact, high percentage of teachers in Europe (86%) states that pupils are more motivated when computers and Internet are being used in class.
Many pupils consider ICT tools very helpful in that it helps them to do assignments teachers see that ICT enables students with special needs or difficulties. It also helps to reduce the social disparities between pupils, since they work in teams in order to achieve a given task. Students also assume responsibilities when they use ICT to organize their work through digital portfolios or projects. In addition, the study showed that ICT has significant impact on teachers and teaching processes.
By virtue of government Interventions and training seminars organized in this regard, ICT tools stimulate teachers. Indeed, an absolute majority of teachers in Europe (90 %) claim to use ICT to do tasks, such as preparing lessons, sequencing classroom activities, etc. Therefore, teachers plan their lessons more efficiently. ICT also help teachers to work in teams and share ideas related to schools curriculum. There is also evidence that broadband and interactive whiteboards play a central role in fostering teachers’ communication and increasing collaboration between educators.
The ICT Test Bed evaluation (Underwood 2006) provides an evidence that many teachers use ICT to support innovative pedagogy. It states: “New technologies that provide a good fit with existing practices, such as interactive whiteboards are first to be embedded, but others like video conferencing, digital video and virtual learning environments are now being incorporated, providing evidence of ongoing learning by the workforce. Training needs to continue to support innovative pedagogy.” Both examples show that ICT is being integrated in a continuous process. Therefore, ICT can improve teaching by enhancing an already practiced knowledge and introducing new ways of teaching and learning. Transforming teaching is more difficult to achieve. “Changes that take full advantage of ICT will only happen slowly over time, and only if teachers continue to experiment with new approaches.” (Underwood 2006) This evaluation came from a teacher training seminar in IT during the ITMF project. It showed that teachers have not fully changed their use of ICT in education; however, most of them changed their way of thinking about the application of ICT in education. Teachers have increased their use of ICT in lessons where students look for information on the net and use it afterwards for subject specific areas, but hardly any use of ICT for class presentations. Nonetheless, teachers do not make use of ICT to engage students more actively to produce knowledge. Similarly, the e-learning Nordic study shows an increase in the use of ICT to teach but not to innovate teaching methods: “ICT generally has a positive impact on teaching and learning situations, but compared with the ideal expectations; the impact of ICT on teaching and learning must still be considered to be limited” (Ramboll, 2006).
Many teachers use ICT to support traditional learning methods, for example, information retrieval in which students are ‘passive learners of knowledge instead of ‘active producers able to take part in the learning process. In a document entitled teaching and learning with ICT, G. Galea (2002) explains how ICT can promote teaching and learning. According to her there are two main reasons behind increasing the use of ICT in education in UK. Firstly, ICT can change the lessons’ pace: she stated that children in modern society need to develop sufficient potentials and skills that enable them to take full advantage from the new opportunities that ICT offer. Second, there are groundswells of interest of academic researches in UK in how technological tools can enhance the quality of teaching and learning in schools, and so help learners to achieve better outcomes.
Furthermore, it has been proved that new technologies have lots of benefits on the students.
ICT allow for a higher quality lessons through collaboration with teachers in planning and preparing resources (Ofsted, 2002). Students learn new skills: analytical, including improvements in reading comprehension (Lewin et al, 2000). ICT also develop some writing skills: spelling, grammar, punctuation, editing and re-drafting (Lewin et al, 2000). Still new technologies encourage independent and active learning, and students’ responsibility for their own learning (Passey, 1999) ICT proves that students who used educational technology felt more successful in school they are more motivated to learn more and have increased self- confidence and self-esteem. It is also confirmed that many students found learning in a technology-enhanced setting more stimulating and much better than in a traditional classroom environment (Pedretti and Mayer-Smith 1998)
What is ICT?
There are two options of what the acronym ICT could stand for:- information and communication technology
- information, communication and technology
These might appear to be subtle distinctions, but there is a significant difference in meaning – the second is much broader than the first.“[M]en’s lives may depend upon a comma” Johnson, J
Option 1
Most people will tell you that ICT is a shortening for “information and communications technology” – option number one above. Let’s unpack that phrase. So it is “information technology” or “communications technology”. It is not “information” or “communication” standing on its own. “Information” or “communication” has to go with technology – they cannot exist independently. You could shorten information and communications technology to just technology.Option 2
In my view, it should be “information, communication and technology” – option number two above. Each aspect of the acronym can stand on its own. So it includes “information” or “communication”. It also includes technology or “information and communications technology”. This interpretation is wider. Another way of looking at it is that ICT stands for:- Information – (or data) in paper or electronic format
- Communication – in person or electronically (electronic communications), in writing or voice, telecommunications, and broadcasting
- Information technology (IT) – including software, hardware and electronics
- Communications technology – including protocols, software and hardware
A plumbing analogy
A plumbing system is made up of storage tanks and pipes. Water is stored in the storage tanks and flows through the pipes. ICT is made up of information technology (storage tanks) and communications technology (pipes). Information (stored water) is stored using information technology (storage tanks) and a communication (flowing water) reaches the recipient through communications technology (pipes).
What is ICT
Summary of what is ICT
In my view, ICT should be a shortening for “information, communication and technology” so that it is broad enough to include all the different aspects of what the acronym stands for. Some people focus on the “technology” whilst others focus on the “information” or “communication”. For example, ICT governance is not only about the governance of “technology” (the storage tanks and pipes), but also about the governance of “information” (the water).
Recent uses of acronym ICT
Let us look at some recent uses of the acronym ICT.Wikipedia defines ICT as “information and communication technology“. They also say that their explanation may require clean-up to meet their quality standards – I might give it a go.
The latest text book on ICT law says that is a shortening for and the book is entitled “Information and Communications Technology Law“. In the book itself the authors do not go into details as to why they believe ICT is a shortening of information and communications technology. I don’t agree with their shortening because their book deals with information law and communications law – and not just information technology law or communications technology law. The title is narrower than the content. For example, data protection is not just about information technology.
There are various relevant sections in the black economic empowerment charter for the ICT sector, which I have quoted below for ease of reference. The ICT BEE Charter is unfortunately poorly drafted and contradicts itself. Have a look at the sections below.
For example, the drafters have defined ICT in different ways. Initially, ICT is a shortening for “Information, Communication and Technology”, but then in the definition of ICT it is defined as “Information and Communication Technology”. As illustrated above, there is a difference in meaning between these two and therefore the ICT BEE Charter contradicts itself. In my view, they got it right initially.
An example of poor drafting is the definition of “Information & Communications Technologies Sector”. It is not clear what it means – I’m not even going to try to interpret.
Recognising the cross
cutting nature of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT), and
its role in the social and economic development of our country.
“ICT” means Information
and Communication Technology and refers to the combination of
manufacturing and services industries that capture, transmit and display
data and information electronically (OECD 2002: 18; SAITIS 2000: 3)”
The “Information & Communications Technologies Sector”
shall without in any way limiting the ordinary meaning of the terms,
mean the sector in which employers and employees are associated for the
carrying on of any one or more of the following activities:
marketing, manufacturing, assembling,
servicing, installing, maintaining and/or repairing systems, software,
equipment, machines, devices and apparatus, whether utilising manual,
photographic, optical mechanical, electrical, electrostatic or
electronic principles or any combination of such principles, that are
primarily intended for the recording and/or processing and/or monitoring
and/or transmission of voice and /or data and/or image and/or text or
any combination thereof for use in any one or more of the following
activities:
accounting, calculating, data processing,
data transmission, duplicating, text processing, document reproduction,
document transmission, record keeping and record retrieval,
broadcasting or transmission for entertainment or information purposes
of voice and/or image and/or text or any combination thereof and/or; the
provision of services relating to the above.
“ICT Enterprise” means an enterprise that conducts business at any stage of the value chain of the ICT sector.

Advantages of Using ICT in Learning-Teaching Processes
For most European countries, the use of ICT in education and training
has become a priority during the last decade. However, very few have
achieved progress. Indeed, a small percentage of schools in some
countries achieved high levels of effective use of ICT to support and
change the teaching and learning process in many subject areas. Others
are still in the early phase of Information and Communication
Technologies adoption.
In addition, schools with sufficient ICT resources achieved better results than those that are not well-equipped. There is a significant improvement on learners’ performances. Finally, teachers become more convinced that educational achievements of pupils are due to good ICT use. In fact, high percentage of teachers in Europe (86%) states that pupils are more motivated when computers and Internet are being used in class.

Assalamualaikum wr. wb.
Here now, i would like to share the article of ICT in Indonesia.
This article is a special one, because this article talks about ICT in our country.
i hope after reading this article, we can develop the knowledge of ours in ICT.
Information and communication technology (ICT) spending in Indonesia is on the rise, and is expected to reach $16.5 billion by the end of 2014.
ICT plays a major role in providing emerging economies with great opportunities to foster economic growth and address social issues. As noted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), ICT can contribute to improve education, to foster innovation, and overall to increase the competitiveness of a country.
Indonesia’s ICT performance
Indonesia’s performance in terms of ICT is still lacking. According to the World Economic Forum Networked Readiness Index 2013, which measures the degree to which countries are able to take advantage of ICT related opportunities, Indonesia is ranked 76th out of 144 countries; Thailand is ranked 74th, Singapore 2nd, and Malaysia 30th. The index evaluates the environment for ICT development, the national stakeholders’ readiness, and stakeholders’ actual usage of ICT.
In 2013 the Indonesian government started the construction of the Palapa Ring,
a fiber optic network which should be completed by 2014. The ring is
made up by 35,308 km of submarine cable and 21,870 km of underground
cable, and it will become the ICT backbone of the country, connecting 33
provinces and 460 districts. The Palapa Ring will ensure lower costs
for telecommunications and Internet access while increasing the
broadband speed. Furthermore, the government has also implemented
programs such as the Desa Berding (Ringing Village) and the Desa Pinter
(Smart Village) to provide telephone and Internet access to Indonesian
rural villages.
Reliable and fast Internet connections are crucial, especially given the raising number of Internet users. Currently, according to a survey conducted by Markplus Insight and the online magazine The Marketeers, there are 74.6 million Internet users in Indonesia and estimates suggest that they will be more than 100 million by 2015. Moreover, in 2013 mobile phone ownership reached 84% of the population and, according to 2011 data, about 48% of Internet users access the web through mobile phones. Indonesians’ presence on social medias is strong as well: currently Indonesia is the fourth largest market for Facebook, and the social network has recently opened an office in Jakarta.
The development of an adequate ICT infrastructure is also vital to support e-commerce, a still small but growing market In Indonesia which is likely to increase further, especially thanks growing rate of smart phones ownership in the country. According to data reported by the Financial Times, on line annual sales in Indonesia could probably increase from the current amount of $1-3 billion to $10 billion by the end of 2015.
Troubling regulations?
As reported by Citizen Lab, in 1999, through Law 36/1999 on Telecommunications the government has allowed the deregulation of the Indonesian telecommunications sector, which is now growing fast. Other relevant laws are Law 11/2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions—the first cyber law in Indonesia, which regulates online content—and Law 82/2012 on the Operation of Electronic Systems and Transactions.
Concerns have arisen regarding the intention of the government to require all electronic service providers (including search engines) to establish data centers in Indonesia in compliance with Law 82/2012. The implementing regulation is still at the draft stage, and critics claim that, if approved, the regulation will not only represent a financial burden for electronic services providers, but will also reduce technological innovation overall.
Furthermore, according to various press reports, an official letter of intent (Letter 689/SJ-DAG/SD/6/2013) has been sent last year by the Ministry of Trade to the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) to execute a regulation requiring to extend the norms on offline retail commerce to online commerce, thus requiring a business to be locally-owned in order to work in the country. This regulation might therefore prevent foreign investors to engage with the booming Indonesian e-commerce market. However, a Tech in Asia article suggests that, if executed, the regulation may not automatically exclude foreign investments in the sector.
However, should Indonesia embrace a protectionist turn and pass regulations restricting foreign investments in the ICT sector, it would risk to potentially hamper the ICT contribution to the economic growth and competitiveness of the country.

Assalamualaikum wr.wb.
Hy my beloved friends. i am very happy because i still can share an information and knowledge to you.
Now, i would like to share an article of the role of ICT. I hope i will help you to get new information.
Here is the article.
TOF ICT IN EDUCATION SECTOR
By: Saverinus Kaka, S.Pd.
Nowadays the role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), especially internet in the education sector plays an important role, especially in the process of empowering
the technology into the educational activities. Education sector can be
the most effective sector to anticipate and eliminate the negative
impact of ICT. Technology (internet) in another side can be the most
effective way to increase the student’s knowledge.
Being
aware of the significant role of ICT (internet) in our life, especially
in the educational activities, education authorities should be wise
enough in implementing the strategies to empower ICT in supporting the
teaching and learning process in the classroom. ICT is not just the
bloom of the educational activities, but also it will be the secondary
option to improve the effective and meaningful educational process.
The main purpose
of the Strategy for Information and Communication Technology
Implementation in Education is to provide the prospects and trends of
integrating information and communication technology (ICT) into the
general educational activities.
There are some unavoidable facts in the modern education; First,
the ICT has been developing very rapidly nowadays. Therefore, in order
to balance it, the whole educational system should be reformed and ICT
should be integrated into educational activities.
Second,
the influence of ICT, especially internet (open source tool) cannot be
ignored in our student’s lives. So, the learning activities should be
reoriented and reformulated, from the manual source centered to the open
source ones. In this case the widely use of internet access has been an
unavoidable policy that should be anticipated by schools authorities.
Third,
the presence of multimedia games and online games by internet has been
another serious problem that should be wisely handled by the educational
institutions. The students cannot be exterminated from this case. They
can have and do with it wherever and whenever they want. Schools, as a
matter of fact, do not have enough power and time to prevent or stop it
after school times. Meanwhile, most parents do not have enough times to
accompany and control their children. So, the students have large
opportunities to do with multimedia games or online games or browsing the negative and porn sites. Having been addicted, the students will have too little time to study, and even do not want to attend classes.
In
such situation, education institutions play an important role to
eradicate these problems. One of which is by facilitating the students
to do edutainment or educational games. Schools can let their students
be familiar with educational games adjusted by their teachers. Besides,
they can also support and facilitate their students to have their own
blogs in the internet. A lot of WebBlog providers are free to the users,
such as WordPress. In their blogs, the students can create and
write something, like an article, poem, news, short stories, features,
or they can also express their opinion by an online forum provided in
the internet. They are able to share experiences throughout their blogs
to others from all over the world. I think it will be an interesting
activity for them, and it will lessen their time to visit the negative or porn sites existed.
By
doing so, I think our young generation will get more and more
information and knowledge by browsing in the internet. They can also
create innovation in web design that it may be out of the formal
curriculum content, but it will be useful for their future.
Fourth,
the implementation of ICT in education has not been a priority trend of
educational reform and the state paid little attention to it.
Therefore, there should be an active participation, initiative and good
will of the schools and the government institutions to enhance ICT
implementation at school.
Fifth,
the teachers should be the main motivator and initiator of the ICT
implementation at schools. The teachers should be aware of the social
change in their teaching activities. They should be the agent of change
from the classical method into the modern one. They must also be the
part of the global change in learning and teaching modification.
The followings are the aim and objectives of ICT implementation in education:
1. To implement the principle of life-long learning / education.
2. to increase a variety of educational services and medium / method.
3. to promote equal opportunities to obtain education and information.
4. to develop a system of collecting and disseminating educational information.
5. to promote technology literacy of all citizens, especially for students.
6. to develop distance education with national contents.
7. to
promote the culture of learning at school (development of learning
skills, expansion of optional education, open source of education, etc.)
8. to support schools in sharing experience and information with others.
