Information and Communications Technology is concerned with the handling of electronic information (which can consist of text, numbers, images and sounds) and involves creating, collecting, holding, processing, presenting and communicating this information in a variety of ways for a variety of purposes.
ICT is about information that can be manipulated with computers, video recorders and photocopiers, sounds through tape recorders and other signals generated and received by satellite technology.
ICT capability refers to a child’s ability to draw on their knowledge and understanding of ICT to apply it in a variety of contexts.
