 Lesson Information and Communication
1 Technologies
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) deals with the use of different
communication technologies such as mobile phones, telephone, Internet, etc. to
locate, save, send, and edit information.

When we make a video call, we use the Internet. When we send a text or make
a call, we use cellular networks. When we run out of load or battery, we use
payphones which use a telephone network. Having a unified way to communicate is
one of the goals of ICT. In terms of economics, ICT has saved companies a lot of
resources (time and money) with the kind of communication technology they use,
nowadays. In a similar way, we spend less because of ICT. As it normally costs us a
peso to send a text message or SMS, with the Internet, we can send multiple
messages and only be charged by a fraction.

What’s In

- It deals with the use of different communication technologies such as

mobile phones, telephone, Internet to locate, save, send and edit
information.

ICT in the Philippines

Several international companies dub the Philippines as the

"ICT Hub of Asia" It is no secret that there is a huge growth of ICT-
related jobs around the country, one of which is the call center or
BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) centers.
According to the 2013 edition of Measuring the
Information Society by the International Telecommunication
Union, there are 106.8 cellphones per 100 Filipinos in the year
2012. That would mean that for every 100 Filipinos you meet,
there is a high chance that they have a cellphone and approximately for the seven of
them, they have two.
In a data gathered by the Annual Survey of Philippine
Business and Industries in 2010, the ICT industry shares 19.3%
of the total employment population here in the Philippines.
To add to these statistics, Time Magazines "The Selfiest
Cities around the World” of 2013 places two cities from the
Philippines in the top 1 and top 10 spots. The study was
conducted using Instagram, a popular photo sharing
application.
With these numbers, there is no doubt that the Philippines is one of the
countries that benefits most out of ICT.

 Philippines is dub as the “ICT Hub of Asia” because of huge growth of
ICT-related jobs, one of which is BPO, Business Process
Outsourcing, or call centers
 ICT Department in the Philippines
is responsible for the planning, development and promotion of the
country's information and
communications technology (ICT) agenda in support of national
development.

What is It
Activity 3:
ICT, Me, and My Community

To fully understand the importance of ICT, let us first look at our community. Look
for a small business around your community.
Conduct a short interview (via free data on messenger) of the business owner using
the following guide:
Company/Establishment Name:
Address:
Nature of Business:
Guide Questions:
1. What are the different ways for customers and/or suppliers to
contact you?
2. How often do you use a phone or cellular phone for business? Estimate
only.
3. Does your establishment have Internet connection? If yes, what is its
purpose? If no, would you consider having it in the future? Why or why
not?
4. Does your business have a website? if yes, how does it help the company?
If no, would you consider having one in the future? Why or why not?
5. If applicable) Would you consider giving free Wi-Fi access in the future? If
you already have it, does it help boost sales?
Internet

 It is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use

the Internet protocol suite TCP/IP) to link billions of devices worldwide.
 means of connecting a computer to any other computer anywhere in
the world via dedicated routers and servers.
 sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer
networks - a network of networks in which users at any one computer
can get information from any other computer
World Wide Web
 an information system on the Internet that allows documents to be connected to
other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information
by moving from one document to another.

6
 is an information space where documents and other web resources are
identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via
the Internet.
 Invented by Tim-Berners Lee
Web Pages
 Web page is a hypertext document connected to the World Wide Web.
 It is a document that is suitable for the World Wide Web
Web Sites
 a location connected to the Internet that
maintains one or more pages on the World
Wide Web.
 It is a related collection of World Wide Web
(WWW) files that includes a beginning file
called a home page.

Web Browser
 It displays a web page on a monitor or mobile device
 is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing
information resources on the World Wide Web.

Static Web Pages

 Static is Web 1.0

 Dynamic is Web 2.0, 3.0
 Static web page is known as flat page or stationary page in the sense that
the page is “as is” and cannot be manipulated by the user.
 The content is also the same for all users that is referred to as Web 1.0
Dynamic Web Pages
 web 2.0 is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic web pages
 The user is able to see website
differently than others e.g social
networking sites, wikis, video
sharing sites
 Web 2.0 allows users to interact
with the page, the user may be able
to comment or create a user
account
 Most website the we visit today are
Web 2.0

7
Static vs. Dynamic Web Page
 Static" means unchanged or constant, while
"dynamic" means changing or lively.
 A static site is one that is usually written in plain
HTML and what is in the code of the page is what
is displayed to the user. A dynamic site is one that
is written using a server-side scripting language
such as PHP, ASP, JSP, or ColdFusion.
Features of Web 2.0
1. Folksonomy- allows user to categorize and
classify information using freely chosen
keywords e.g
tagging by Facebook, twitter, use tags that start with the pound sign #,
referred to as hashtag
2. Rich User Experience- content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input
3. User Participation- The owner of the website is not the only one who is
able to put content. Others are able to place a content of their own by means
of comments, reviews, and evaluation e.g lazada.com, amazon.com
4. Long Tail- services that are offered on demand rather than on a one-
time purchase. This is synonymous to subscribing to a data plan that
charges you for the amount of time you spent in the Internet, or a data
plan that charges you for the amount of bandwidth you used.
5. Software as a Service- users will be subscribe to a software only when
needed rather than purchasing them e.g Google docs used to create and
edit word processing and spread sheet.
6. Mass Participation- diverse information sharing through universal
web access. Web 2.0’s content is based on people from various
cultures.
Web 3.0 and Semantic Web
 Semantic Web is a movement led by the World Web Consortium (W3C).
 The W3C standard encourages web developers to include semantic content
in their web pages.
 Semantic web is a component of Web 3.0
 Semantic web provides a common framework that allows data to be
shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community
boundaries.
 The aim of web 3.0 is to have is to have machines or servers understand
the user’s preferences to be able to deliver web content specifically targeting
the user.

Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several problems:

1. Compatibility. HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web
3.0.
2. Security. The user's security is also in question since the machine is saving
his or her preferences.
3. Vastness. The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
4. Vagueness. Certain words are imprecise. The words "old" and "small would
depend on the user.
8
 5. Logic. Since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a computer
to be able to predict what the user is referring to at a given time.

Trends in ICT

2. Convergence- is the synergy of technological advancements to work on a

similar goal or task
3. Social media- is a website, application, or online channel that enables web
users to create, co-create, discuss, modify, and exchange user-generated
content.

Six Types of Social Media:

a. Social Networks- these are sites that allow you to connect with other
people with the same interests or background.
b. Bookmarking Sites- these are sites that allow you to store and manage
links to various websites and resources.
c. Social news- these are sites that allow users to post their own news
items or links to other news sources. The users can also comment on the
post and comments may also be ranked.
d. Media Sharing- these are sites that allow you to upload and share media
content like images, music, and video.
e. Mircoblogging- these are sites that focus on short updates from the
user. Those subscribed to the user will be able to receive these updates.
f. Blogs and Forums- these websites allow users to post their content.
Other users are able to comment on the said topic.
4. Mobile Technologies- popularity of smartphones and tablets. Latest
mobile devices use 4G Networking LTE, which is currently the fastest
mobile network. Mobile devices use different operating systems

 iOS

 Android

 Blackberry OS

 Windows Phone OS

 Symbian

 Web OS

 Windows

Lesson
Rules of Netiquette

Most of us use the Internet every day, Sometimes, we do not pay
attention on how much information we share online. Below is a questionnaire
about how much you have shared so far. Put a check () under Shared or
Not Shared.

How Safe Are You?

Type of Information Shared Not Shared
1. First name
2. Last name
3. Middle name
4. Current and previous school(s)
5. Your cellphone number
6. The name of your mother and
father
7. The name of your siblings
8. Your address
9. Your home phone number
10. Your birthday
How many checks did you have for Shared? You probably answered Shared
in the first two items. If that is the case, try using a search engine like Google then
type your first and last name. Did you get links to your profile page? Try switching
to image search. Did your pictures appear? If you have a unique name, chances are,
it did. Do not feel bad if it did not appear though; in fact, it is probably for your best
interest not to have pictures of yourself in a search engine.
Activity 10: e-Think Mo!!!
Directions: Think of this, with the concepts you have learned answer it based in
your opinion.
So how did these things happen? How can search engines locate me? Is there
any danger of being found by search engines?
 What’s In
Activity 11: e-Think Mo!!!

How many hours do you spend on the Internet per day? Can you live without
the Internet for a week? How many aspects of your life depend on the Internet? How
many times have you complained about your Internet connection speed? As
teenagers, you are all exposed to many things powered by the Internet.
Whether it is socializing, playing games, reading sports news,
shopping, etc., the Internet has given you one of the most powerful
tools that your parents, during their teenage years, did not have.
Because of this, do you not think that it is also important to
wield this powerful tool properly? Without proper training, a
swordsman can easily injure himself when wielding a
swordsman, the same could be said for you whenever you use
the Internet.

3 Research Skills
Being a vast sea of information is one of the key features of the
Internet. it is such a big repository of data that is believed that one
could find out something about anything on the internet. Developing
the necessary knowledge and skills in online searching, however, is the
key to maximizing its use.i

Do you remember the colors of each letter in the google?
• Using this Word Art, color the letters according to
the Google logo.

What’s New
“Googling”
Indeed, Google might be our “friend” but using search
engines for the sake of plain information could actually lead
you misinformed.
In order to stay meaningfully informed, you should start
appreciating the use of the right combination of words or key phrases.
SEARCH ENGINE

A search engine is a software system designed to search the Internet for documents
related to the keyword or search word used or entered into the system. Users are
able to maximize the potential of search engines by learning the proper searching
protocols.ii

TYPES OF SEARCH ENGINES

 Crawler-based search engine - It uses a spider or a crawler to search the

Internet. The crawler digs through individual web pages, pulls out
keywords, and then adds the pages to the search engine's database. Google
and Yahoo are its examples.
 Directories - depend on human editors to create
their listings or database. There are two types of
directories: (1) academic and professional
directories which are often created and
maintained by subject experts to support the
needs of researchers; and (2) commercial and
portal directories that cater to the general public
and are competing for Internet traffic.
 Hybrid search engine uses both crawler based searches and directory
searches to obtain their results.

search engines to carry out the

 Narrow it down- Search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo use several
filters to determine the most appropriate result for you.
 Advanced Search- The best way to filter information you get from
search engines is by using the advanced search.
 Look for a credible source- Some wikis, filled with
updated information, are not a credible source. When
using wikis, check out
the link of the cited texts.
  Give credit- Give credit to the original author of the page or
information. To properly site a reference, you may use the format
below
