Direction: Read independently the links that I sent and answer the questions.

1. List at least 1O negative effects in the use of ICT and briefly explain the reason.
- Fraud - due to the growth of e-commerce, mobile payments, and computing
power, fraud has also accelerated and has become even more complex in
modern times.
- Moral and Ethical Problems - pornographic websites are just one example of
a type of online content whose nature might lead to ethical and moral issues.
- Addiction - Students and some teachers may become more interested in
technology than actual topic matters.
- Digital Divide - there is a digital gap because of the high cost of ICT
equipment procurement, which places poorer students and organizations at a
disadvantage or a disadvantageous position.
- Cost - The cost of purchasing and maintaining much ICT hardware and
software is high.
- Reduced physical activity - most ICT and computer users lead increasingly
sedentary, desk-bound lives.
- Reduced Physical Interaction - In-person social connection has decreased as
a result of social networking.
- Job loss - being replaced by fewer workers who can use computers to
complete the same amount of work as many more.
- Obesity - the fact that young fat youngsters prefer playing online games to
engage in any physical activity during their free time is one of the primary
causes.
- Eyes strain - too much time spent on screens while utilizing computers,
smartphones, or tablets for work.

2. State some ICT policies that educators and common netizens must be aware of and
explain briefly.
Students' Appropriate Use of Mobile Phones and Other Electronic Equipment
- Students are not permitted to bring cell phones to school. If a student needs to bring a
phone before or after school, permission from the principal is required. If the phone is
approved, it must be left at the office upon arrival and picked up at the end of the day.
Noncompliance will result in phone confiscation and notification of parents so that
collection can take place.Other electronic equipment is not permitted unless the teacher
grants permission. There will be no 3G connectivity in this case.

Authorisation and controls

- The principal reserves the right to restrict student access to the school's ICT facilities and
devices if access and usage requirements are not met or are breached. However restricted
access will not disrupt the provision of the student's educational program. For example, a
student with restricted school network access may be allocated a stand-alone computer to
continue their educational program activities.
