Issues on Information and Communication Technology

A. Freedom of Expression and Censorship
B. Privacy and Security
C. Surveillance and Data Retention
D. E-pollutants from E-waste


1.) I learned that, 

a.) The Freedom of Expression and Censorship, has a limitation. Why it has a limitation? It is because even though you are free doing or posting any thought you like, but if it is against to someone or individual's perspective they will do anything just to block your information posted in social media, in order to protect their self-interest or for the benefits of a whole.
b.) The Privacy and Security is the most important in ICT. Why it is most important? Because through this policy everyone will be protected in any harmful activities to be done in our personal account through providing security code, but still there's an issue about this policy because even though we use the privacy and security code, there's anonymous trying to hack or collect our personal information. Caution should be observed to protect the individual privacy.
c.) The Surveillance and Data Retention, through electronic communication the learners can enhance their knowledge and skills, but because of some issues in ICT or Information and Communication Technology, some activities undergo in surveillance to trace what the learner's search in a web and what kind of information they want to get.
d.) The E-pollutants from E-waste is due to upgrading the technology and through improvement of software. E-waste will tremendously affect climate change, can damage human lives and to our environment.



2.) I realized that, 

a.) I want to know more about freedom of expression and censorship to gain more knowledge and information, so that I can protect the learners into a harmful information or expression they will encounter in social media and inform them that every time we do surfing in a web, we can't assure that we are protected or not, because everyone can monitor or collect all the activities we are doing without our consent or permission.
b.) I want to know more about privacy and security issues just to avoid certain conflicts for the future learner's. And as a future teacher, we must be aware that the use of technology may jeopardize our privacy and security.
c.) I want to know more how ICT can protect the user of technology specially the learner's.
d.) I want to learn more what is e-waste, how it can affect to our environment, what we should do to avoid e-waste and inform the society what e-waste can do to our lives.



3.) I plan that, 

a.) I will do what is right just to protect the learner's and give them the right information about what is the advantages and disadvantages in using social media or technology in this society as well as teaching them the proper way using technology as a backbone for their learning. 
b.) I will teach the learner's how important the privacy and security, to ensure that information will only be use in which it was gathered and will not be disclose to others without consent of the individuals.
c.) I will do my task to protect and give the right information on how to use the internet or social media to the learner's.
d.) I want to teach the learner's how electronic wastes have undoubtly caused an enormous potential risk to the environment. And inform the public that handling of e-waste is dangerous due to Hazardous chemicals present in the products and therefore, the only positive step to tackle this problem is for manufactures to design clean products free from chemicals with comparatively longer life spans.

VISUAL SYMBOLS

Image
Visual symbols are representations of direct reality, which comes in the form of signs and symbols. The following is a detailed discussion on the different kinds of visual symbols, which are drawings, sketches, cartoons, comics or strip drawing, diagrams, charts and graphs, maps, and posters. Rules of Thumbs in Using Visuals 1. Visuals must be directly relevant to the audio content. 2. Redundancy between visuals and audio must be avoided. If words are displayed, viewers must be given time to read it. 3. Visual displays should be big enough to be seen by the farthest pupil. 4. Visual displays must be attractive. 5. Visual displays must be aesthetically presented to maintain good taste. Kinds of Visual Symbols 1. Cartoons Cartoons tell stories metaphorically through pictures, which need no captions. Symbolism conveys messages, less words more symbolism the better. The cartoon presents a certain issue or concern which could be either for or against it. It is a pictorial representation or ...

Contrived Experience

• These are the edited copies of reality and are used as substitutes for real things when it is not practical or possible to bring or do the real thing in the classroom. Designed to stimulate real life situations Examples of Contrived Experiences: • Model- A reproduction of a real thing in a small scale, or a large scale or exact size- but made of synthetic materials. It is a substitute for a real thing which may or may not operational –Brown, et. al, 1969 • Mock up- An arrangement of a real device or associated devices, displayed in such way that representation of reality is created. • A special model where the parts of a model are singled out, heightened and magnified in order to focus on that part or process under study. Example: Planetarium   Specimen- Any individual or item considered typically of a group, class, or whole.   Object- May also include artifacts displayed in a museum or objective displayed in exhibits or preserved insect specimens in science. Simulation- A r...

OR Codes

As mobile learning becomes more and more prevalent, we must find effective ways to leverage mobile tools in the classroom. As always, the tool must fit the need. Mobile learning can create both the tool and the need. With safe and specific structures, mobile learning tools can harness the excitement of technology with the purpose of effective instruction.  Using QR codes for instruction is one example of this. A Quick Tutorial QR stands for Quick Response. It's basically a quick, scannable barcode-like image that takes you to a specific digital destination. The one to the right, for example, will take you to a QR code generator. There you will be able to create all sorts of QR codes. (Feel free to search the web for them.) Before that, however, you will need an app that reads the QR codes. There are plenty of free QR code apps to download for Android and Apple Products. Just search. To read them, all you need is a phone with a camera. Free makes teachers happy, and of course makes ...
