ICT and Indigenous Education: A Case Study on Challenges and Solutions

This case study examines the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on indigenous education, focusing on the challenges and ethical considerations that arise. The study highlights the increasing use of ICT globally and its influence on various aspects of life, including education. It explores the need for ethical codes of conduct within the ICT industry and addresses issues like computer hacking and intellectual property rights. The case study references the challenges faced by indigenous communities in accessing and utilizing ICT for educational purposes, emphasizing the need for user-friendly interfaces and digital literacy programs. It proposes solutions such as hack-proof systems, simple designs, and the employment of tech-savvy individuals to support the integration of ICT in education. The study also discusses the importance of integrating ICT with existing curricula and providing training for both teachers and students. Overall, the case study aims to provide insights into the complexities of ICT implementation in indigenous education and suggests strategies for addressing the associated challenges.

Impact of ICT on different Communities
Since the last quarter of last century, at least, the world has witnessed a significant increase in
both the development and use of what is known as Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT). This development, initiated mainly in industrialized countries, has gradually
covered the entire globe. It has also been well-known that the changes brought about by the
use of ICT tend to produce new forms of work, communication, learning and interaction; Words,
digital culture affects practically all people (regardless of age, gender or field of work) in all the
different dimensions of daily life. Courtney had to create an interface that helps in identifying the
educational challenges of the indigenous people (Bloom, 2013).
It has been called Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to devices such as
computers, multimedia, networks, cell phones, or any other designed to create, store, exchange
and process information based on microelectronics, information technology and communication
networks. One way of solving this problem has led, in the educational field, to implement
different strategies to incorporate the use of ICT in the teaching-learning process.
Ethical Issues in ICT
Content and compliance with codes of ethics, we see how ICT professionals and companies in
the world of ICTs are developing code of ethics to ensure ethical conduct in their associates or
in their organizations. This is a constant challenge. Unfortunately, many professional
associations and companies believe that their task ends when they succeed in presenting a
well-developed code of ethics in their own country and in the eyes of the international
community as responsible and concerned organizations (Halimahton Shaari, 2009).However,
today there are serious attempts to show professional associations that it is necessary to
actively and continuously support their partners in their desire to act fairly in their profession.
The ethical performance in the use of information technology and communication, it is
recommended the appropriate use of computer products avoiding the harm and annoyance
towards other people, which may even occur involuntarily.
Computer programs are protected on the same terms as in literary areas. Such protection

extends both in operational programs and in application programs, whether in the form of
source code or object code.
Computer hacking in computer terms means being in front of the PC for very long periods of
time having an unauthorized use or access of networked computer systems (Kizza, 2007).
Recommendation to Ethical Issues in ICT
Equally, this dynamic development of digital culture has also influenced the educational field.
And while everyone agrees on the advantages that such technology brings to the teaching-
learning process, there is no agreement on how best to implement ICT in education. Such an
implementation would involve the resolution of issues such as the integration and adaptation of
ICTs with existing curricula, as well as the structuring of digital literacy programs for both
teachers and students (Langdon et al., 2012). In particular, the analysis of this set of problems
will be the objective of the present work.
Hacking issues can only be solved through employing systems that are hack-proof. Designing a
system for the people that is simple and user-friendly is also a great way of protecting the
system. Lastly, employing tech- savvy people to operate and educate the people like Courtney.
