2. ICT TOOLS USED IN EDUCATION
Term is referring to various digital tools, e.g. Software, applications that can be used
for different purpose. Each ICT tool has it own purpose, e.g. Tools for editing images,
digital drawing and creating illustration, developing mind maps, etc. They are used in
education process as assets for enrichment of the teaching process
Information communication technology tools are digital infrastructures such as;
computers, laptops, desktops, data projector, software programs, printers scanners
and interactive teaching box.
3. The ICT tools are the latest technology or devices and concepts
used in Information and Communication Technology among
students to students, students to teacher interaction (e.g., flipped
classroom, mobile apps, and clickers devices

5. COMPUTER
A computer is a machine that can be programmed to carry out
sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Modern
computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs.
These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks.
A computer system is a "complete" computer that includes the
hardware, operating system (main software), and peripheral equipment
needed and used for "full" operation. This term may also refer to a group of
computers that are linked and function together, such as a computer
network or computer cluster.
6. A PC can be defined as a small, relatively
inexpensive computer designed for an
individual user. PCs are based on the
microprocessor technology that enables
manufacturers to put an entire CPU on one
chip
PC(PERSONAL COMPUTER)
7. WORKSTATION
Workstation is a computer used for
engineering applications (CAD/CAM), desktop
publishing, software development, and other
such types of applications which require a
moderate amount of computing power and
relatively high quality graphics capabilities.
8. Minicomputer
It is a midsize multi-processing system
capable of supporting up to 250 users
simultaneously.
9. MAINFRAME
Mainframe is very large in size and is an
expensive computer capable of supporting
hundreds or even thousands of users
simultaneously. Mainframe executes many
programs concurrently and supports many
simultaneous execution of programs.
10. SUPER COMPUTER
Supercomputers are one of the fastest
computers currently available.
Supercomputers are very expensive and are
employed for specialized applications that
require immense amount of mathematical
calculations (number crunching).
11. DIGITAL CAMERAS
A digital camera is a camera that captures photographs in
digital memory. Most cameras produced today are digital,
largely replacing those that capture images on photographic
film. While there are still dedicated digital cameras, many
more cameras are now incorporated into mobile devices like
smartphones, which can, among many other purposes, use
their cameras to initiate live video-telephony and directly
edit and upload images to others.
12. TYPES OF DIGITAL CAMERA
COMPACT CAMERA
Compact cameras are intended to be portable (pocketable) and are
particularly suitable for casual "snapshots".
13. BRIDGE CAMERA
Bridge cameras physically resemble DSLRs, and are
sometimes called DSLR-shape or DSLR-like. They provide
some similar features but, like compacts, they use a
fixed lens and a small sensor. Some compact cameras
have also PSAM mode
14. Mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras
a new type of camera emerged, called a mirrorless
interchangeable-lens camera. It is technically a DSLR
camera that does not require a reflex mirror, a key
component of the former. While a typical DSLR has a
mirror that reflects light from the lens up to the optical
viewfinder, in a mirrorless camera, there is no optical
viewfinder.
15. Digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLR)
Digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLR) use a reflex mirror that can reflect the
light and also can swivel from one position to another position and back to
initial position.
16. Line-scan camera
A line-scan camera traditionally has a single row of pixel sensors, instead
of a matrix of them. The lines are continuously fed to a computer that
joins them to each other and makes an image.
17. Multimedia Equipment (AUDIO/VIDEO)
Multimedia Equipment is a group or “family” of
product, which include devices categorized as
Information Technology Equipment or Sound and
Television Broadcast Receivers and Associated
Equipment under CISPR 22 / 25 and CISPR 13 / 20
respectively. The definition also includes audio
equipment, video equipment, entertainment
lighting, or any combination of the above for
personal or professional use.
18. LAPTOP
A laptop, laptop computer, or notebook computer is a
small, portable personal computer (PC) with a screen and
alphanumeric keyboard.
These typically have a "clamshell" form factor, typically
having the screen mounted on the inside of the upper lid
of the clamshell and the keyboard on the inside of the
lower lid, although 2-in-1 PCs with a detachable keyboard
are often marketed as laptops or as having a "laptop
mode.“
19. Laptops are folded shut for transportation, and thus are
suitable for mobile use. Its name comes from lap, as it was
deemed practical to be placed on a person's lap when being
used. Today, laptops are the used in a variety of settings,
such as at work, in education, for playing games, web
browsing, for personal multimedia, and general home
computer use.
20. TYPES OF LAPTOP
SMALL AND LARGER LAPTOP:
There were in the past a number of marketing categories for
smaller and larger laptop computers; these included "subnotebook"
models, low cost "netbooks", and "Ultra-mobile PCs" where the size
class overlapped with devices like smartphone and handheld
tablets, and "Desktop replacement" laptops for machines notably
larger and heavier than typical to operate more powerful processors
or graphics hardware
21. CONVERTIBLE LAPTOP
Convertibles are devices with the ability to conceal a
hardware keyboard. Keyboards on such devices can be
flipped, rotated, or slid behind the back of the chassis,
thus transforming from a laptop into a tablet.
22. RUGGED LAPTOP
A rugged laptop is designed to reliably operate in
harsh usage conditions such as strong vibrations,
extreme temperatures, and wet or dusty
environments. Rugged laptops are bulkier, heavier,
and much more expensive than regular laptops, and
thus are seldom seen in regular consumer use.
23. INTERNET
The internet is emerging as potential
tool to contribute to agriculture
development as one can have access
to vast global information resources.
24. TABLET
A tablet computer, commonly
shortened to tablet, is a mobile device,
typically with a mobile operating
system and touchscreen display
processing circuitry, and a rechargeable
battery in a single, thin and flat package
25. IPAD
iPad is a line of tablet computers
designed, developed and marketed
by Apple Inc., which run the iOS and
iPadOS mobile operating systems.
26. IPHONE
The iPhone is a line of smartphones designed
and marketed by Apple Inc. that use Apple's
iOS m The iPhone has a user interface built
around a multi-touch screen.
27. MOBILE PHONE
A mobile phone, cellular phone, cell
phone, cellphone, handphone, or hand
phone, sometimes shortened to simply
mobile, cell or just phone, is a portable
telephone that can make and receive calls
over a radio frequency link while the user
is moving within a telephone service area.
28. SKYPE
Skype (/skaɪp/) is a proprietary telecommunications
application that specializes in providing video chat and
voice calls between computers, tablets, mobile devices,
the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles, and
smartwatches over the Internet. Skype also provides
instant messaging services. Users may transmit text,
video, audio and images. Skype allows video conference
calls.
