Advantages and Disadvantages of ICT
ICT has made my project easier to do.
Making a catalogue is a long process, involving a lot of design and
research plans, using a computer and IT based materials has cut down
the time it would take of I had done it manually.
For example, before starting to make my catalogue I had to do some
research on the items I wanted to advertise, using the internet was a
faster more efficient way of doing this. The internet showed the
websites I needed to go on that had the right information.
If I had not used a computer I would have had to carry task out
manually, which is very time consuming, for example,
Cropping pictures down to the right size to fit the catalogue.
The computer does this accurately and more precise than a human can
do, cutting.
Also copying and pasting, doing this on a computer, then printing
means no Pritt Stick: This can look tacky and bad quality. Using ICT
gives the best presentation possible.

There is so much technical equipment in the ICT rooms, precautions
need to be taken, so that nobody gets hurt, when I was in the ICT
room, I made sure that drinks and food were not near the computers, so
that the equipment would operate in the right order.
Also I made sure that bags were not left in the walking areas, so that
others would not trip over them and hurt themselves.
To prevent fires, fore extinguishers were present in the room and the
sockets were not over loaded.
Work surfaces remained clear to avoid clutter.
Five minutes before the end of every lesson, I saved the work I had
done that day to make sure all my work is well documented and so I can
continue from where I stopped in the next lesson.

Would that be possible to stay away from our technology’s devices for just a day? The answer for this question will bring a lot of negative answers, and of course if we ask this question in a survey, “NO” will be the winner of this survey. Talking about the use of technology reminded me one of the sources from my annotated bibliography by Amy Petersen, who is the Theatre and Media Arts Department Chair and Associate Professor in the College of Fine Arts and Communications at Brigham Young University. In her article which she wrote about the overuse of tech in our daily life and its affects, she said “If you would have told me a few years ago that I would feel completely lost without a cell phone, I never would have believed you. Now my iPhone is almost always within reach. My children likely believe that my most important possession is my MacBook Air, which is usually open and on whenever I am in the house. (“Jensen” par. 3)” Yes technology, internet, and cell phone became our best friends, and most of us can’t live without them.
A great day to add to my diary. I've got a new job after that stupid
The Good and The Bad of Technology In Our World Today I do not remember the exact moment that I first came in contact with a computer. However, my first memory that I do have is playing the game Madeline, from the children’s book and movie. It was my favorite pastime when I couldn’t play outside because of the weather. It was during this time when I think I first found my way around a computer.
Digital communication has evolved in such a rapid time. Some say that it is bad, others say it is good, and other say it can be good and bad. In Gerald Graff’s and Cathy Birkenstein’s book, They Say/I say, they have a chapter that talks about digital communication. They talk about the pros and cons on it as well. Digital communication is destroying young user’s ability to communicate but it also is helping spread viral memes quickly, and bringing people together.
Assessing student progress in the classroom is a vital part in being a good teacher. When teachers assess student progress it allows teachers to not only see how well the students are comprehending the material being taught, but also how well the teacher is instructing his/her class. Without teachers assessing students both through formative and summative assessments teachers have very little way of knowing how well their students are learning and how well they are doing their jobs. There are a ton of ways technology can be used to help teachers assess their students. This essay will cover the different types of technology that can help teachers assess their students and the pros and cons to using technology to do so.
Information security refers to “the process and methodologies that are designed and implemented to protect print, electronic, or any other form of confidential, private and sensitive information or data from unauthorized access, use, misuse, disclosure, destruction, modification, or disruption” (SANS Institute, n.d.). Information security programs are important in maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and availability (figure 1 page X). For example, a Trojan horse was planted on your system and result in the loss of customers’ personal and financial information. This failure to protect data will result in a loss, legal liability, and goodwill. In this scenario, both confidentiality and
most of the children and teens growing up in America. The integration of technology and education is following a far rockier road, however, and that is to the determent of those children whose future will require a comprehensive, practical understanding of the digital landscape. Many teachers and parents resist the fusion of the Internet with education; the teachers fear the emphasis on technology will limit their ability to teach effectively, while parents are more concerned with safety and the risk of promiscuity aided by technology. Proponents of a more robust technological education are divided as well, with some schools beginning to productively bring the virtual
We are all very aware that technology has become a big part of our lives. In the most recent years we use technology for almost everything, for instance you can go to a restaurant and order your food through an iPad. It was just a matter of time until we start noticing this technology being used in classrooms, and surely enough students now are doing in class activities on tablets and reading books off the apps. Teachers are finding ways to incorporate the new technology into their lessons and activities students can do. There are many positives with bringing technology into a learning environment but there can also be many downfalls. Due to the advances in technology, kids in all grade levels get to experience education in a totally different way older generations couldn’t.
We now use computers every day, as well as graphing calculators and other technological advances such as the scanner and the Internet. We use computers to do anything from typing English papers to checking our e-mail. My Grandparents never imagined things such as the computer, let alone the Internet.

My computer really needed to have serious counseling sessions. When I was at home alone, I disciplined my computer. "Hey! You computer listen. I do not think you know who you are. I am the one who tells you what to do. I am a commander, and y ou are my servant. If I tell you to draw a picture, you need to draw me a picture. Do you understand? How dare you to show me stop sign! Please do not tell me what to do. Who is the commander here? You just follow what I tell you to do."
Technology has changed modern society drastically, both positively and negatively. Technology has influenced every aspect of our life, making it simpler but not necessarily better. Albert Einstein was concerned about the advancement of technology. "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction."1 Undoubtedly, what has changed the most are communication, the spread of information, and how business is practiced. Consequently, practically everyone knows how to use a computer, connect to the Internet, or use a smartphone. This is demonstrated by the way the Internet is used daily by millions of people to communicate, to sell, advertise, retrieve, and share information. Thanks to the Internet, information from anywhere in the world is at our fingertips. As a result, the advancement of technology has changed our life in many ways including; sharing of information, communication, business, education, social interaction, simplifying everyday tasks, replacing basic skills and jobs.
The new age of technology was born late last century in the form of the silicone chip. Since this early invention computers have progressed in leaps and bounds from the very basic early models to the now very complicated and very powerful computers of today. In between this growth the Internet developed into a mega market where billions of dollars are traded daily. It is a place where you can pretty much buy and sell anything you can think of. But with the development of such a powerful tool there are always going to be problems such as pornography, hackers, dodgy chat rooms and authenticity of information. But like with any argument you have to weigh up the good with the bad, the internet provides you with a wealth of information so that you can find out much on many different products, allows businesses to function so much more efficiently, there is also the availability of online learning.
