 What’s New

Make a video call to your teacher. First, make sure that your calling
device has already a video call app installed in it. Second, you need to have an
internet access. Connection to the internet can come from Wi-Fi or cellular data.
Your calling device can be a cellular phone, tablet or a computer with a front camera
since you are going to make a video call. Video call app can be Facebook Messenger,
Viber, Facetime, Skype, Hangout or Whatsapp. It should be the same app use by
the person that you intend to call. Facetime is best for iPhones or iOS devices, unlike
other video call apps that can be run in Android devices.

What is It

ICT refers to technologies that provide access to information through

telecommunications. It focuses primarily on communication technologies. This
includes the internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication
mediums (Christensson 2010). Add the computer and network hardware and
software, satellite systems, as well as the various services and applications
associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning. With the
rapid growth in our technology, communication now became global where you can
communicate to other people anytime or anywhere as long as you have an internet
connection and a device.

Computer is an electronic device that can accept raw data as input, manipulate or
process it to produce output. Computer system is consists of hardware, software,
and peopleware. Hardware refers to the tangible component of the computer system.
This can be monitor, keyboard, mouse, webcam, USB flash drive, speaker, headset,
microphone, or printer. Software refers to the intangible part of the computer
system. This can be the Microsoft Office Application like MS Word, MS PowerPoint or
MS Excel or other applications used to produce output. Peopleware is the user, in
which, if either one of the three components is missing, the entire computer system
will not function.

Online platform is defined as a digital service that facilitates interactions between

two or more distinct but interdependent sets of users (whether firms or individuals)
who interact through the service via the Internet (OECD 2019). ICT is one of the
online platforms in the market. Others are Collaborative platforms which “is a
category of business software that adds broad social networking capabilities to work
processes.” Assistive Media which is a component under Assistive technology (AT),

managing, using, and gathering of data and communications in an organization. One
example of this is the Learning Information System (LIS) where the records of
students are stored, gathered and managed for easy process and retrieval.

Mobile Media - This refers to “media devices such as mobile phones and PDA’s were
the primary source of portable media from which we could obtain information and
communicate with one another. And leading in the market now is smart phone. But
each mobile device will not function if it does not have an Operating System in it.
