DCT and it's importance

What are Digital and Communication Technologies and why are they important to me

So you’re probably wondering, what’s DCT? 

Well simply put DCT = Digital Communication Technologies. 
There’s a little bit more to it however. Digital and Communication Technologies is stated as “the design and construction of communications technology that transmits information in digital form (“onlinedictionary”, 2016). In short, DCT’s are digital tools that allow two or more people to communicate with one another. They can be written, verbal, visual or audible forms of communication. Some examples include: Texting via mobile phone, video chatting via Skype, collaboration over Google Docs. Etc.

Our era has come to see the vivacious importance of digital technology in our daily lives. The need to use these DCT’s are unquestionable, they are quite literally everywhere. As a human it’s important to use these DCT’s to keep in contact with friends, family and co-workers in cases where collaboration or input is needed. As a future teacher, it will be as worksheets or school work will need to be distributed to the class, or other teachers. 


Additionally, the use of DCT’s will help me improve as a teacher. With the ability of being able to ask, share, search and request new ideas from platforms such as Twitter will be able to not only help me but also help spark creative ideas which in turn could potentially help others (Faden, 2016).
In essence, the use of DCT’s have embedded themselves within modern-day society and in my opinion has too many benefits to the way in which we operate to ever go back to traditional methods.
