At the end of this module, you should be able to:
• Define conceptually or operationally terms that are basic to the understanding of ICT.
• Used the concepts and terms in communicating with peers for further understanding

II. INTRODUCTION: “I think we need to be careful not to get too specific (i.e., technology = computers)
while at the same time not getting so broad that our definition of technology includes everything from
pencil and paper to lasers and computers. I’d like to see us define technology in a manner that looks at
electronic tools we use to enhance teaching and learning. “Sally, grade teacher from Joy Egbert (2009).
III. STRATEGIES
A. ACTIVITY: TURN UP YOUR KNOWLEDGE
➢ Excite

Task 1: Explore with a Partner

1. These are only a few of the many terms found in our world cloud. With your partner, explore
in the web or reference book how, other terms are defined and understood. You can also go
over the Module and discover that there are many terms that we have not included in the list.

2. Make a glossary of terms of at least 20 ICT-related terms with each having a conceptual
or operational definition or description. Cite the source of your definition.

B. ABSTRACTION AND GENERALIZATION

GEAR UP YOUR MIND!
