Another home social ICT technology I use is MSN messenger. This is sort of like a chat room, but it is just you and your friend or friends. You are both online, and you type a message which comes up on the screen straight away

Special needs

 

Through the examples discussed above one can realise that by Integrating Computer Technology with learning, these special needs children are becoming more eager to learn, they are being provided with new ways to manipulate their environment in order to communicate better with the rest of society, barriers are being blown away and a variety of new worlds opened up, all by the use of Computer Technology. Apart from all this, ICT has provided them with what any individual wants that is their independence.

Illegal Copying of Intellectual Property

Alert!! You may be Unaware of Committing Computer Crimes… What is Illegal Copying?
