ICT policies and Issues 

Last week, I talk about the evolution of the classroom, the netiquette and the cyberbullying. I also talked about the presentation that we've done about the Netiquette and Cyberbullying. For today's blog, I'm going to talk about the ICT Policy and issues on internet and implications to teaching and learning and also the safety issues on the use of ICT.

During the discussion 

Our student teacher, showed a presentation about the ICT policies and Issues plus the safety issues on the use of ICT. Our student teacher also talks about the freedom of thought, speech, action and religion.

After the discussion 

One of the 6 groups, presented their topic about the ICT policy base on the copyright, fair use and plagiarism.

What I've learned for today's meeting 

The first thing that I've learned is that, there is a lot of policies that exists in regards to the ICT. Policies that talks about how they should handle a problem that may result into an issue. I've also learned that there are lots of recommended polices in regards to the ICT. As for example, ICT educational in master plan, ICT skills strategic plan, PHeDnet and eQuality programs.


The second thing that I've learned, is the e-pollutants and e-waste. E-pollutants or E-Pollution refers to the pollution cause by the disregarded electrical or electronic devices. E-waste refers to the discarded electrical or electronic devices/products after the end of it's useful life.

The third thing that I've learned, is the freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of action and freedom of religion. In this part of lesson, I've realized that all of these freedom started from our thought. Our thoughts are limitless that's why we have this kind of freedom. It started or born from our thoughts, then it will be going as our speech which is freedom of speech, will go to be come freedom of action and lastly, it will become the freedom of religion which refers to our beliefs. That's all what I've learned and the things we've done during this meeting.
