BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE LESSON

Information and Communications Technology has different impacts

when it is used as a medium for promoting social change. May it be
cyber-bullying, promotion for feminism, abolition of slavery, or industrial
revolution, ICT gives an opportunity for people to be aware of the
problems in the society and offers them the opportunity participate and
be part of these social changes.

REMEMBER
The Power of Social Media
Social Media has the potential to effect social change. It can be an
environment to encourage, communicate, share stories, get opinions, and
exercise the freedom to say what people want. With social media, you can
deliver your message to more people quickly; it is free and accessible.
Social media can:
1. Promote social change or advance reforms.
2. Support social justice or create social movements.
3. Access to those who are impoverished, hurting, left out, or victims.
4. Stop bullying or discrimination.
5. Help during calamities or tragedies.
6. Allow people to have responsibility to engage as citizen.

Digital Citizenship
Digital Citizens are “those who use the Internet regularly and
effectively” as defined by K. Mossberger, et al. Digital Citizens are
generally skillful and knowledgeable about the use of the Internet through
mobile phones, web ready devices, and computers to intermingle with the
government, private, and public groups. Digital citizenship starts when you
open an email account, join social media sites, buy or sell merchandise or
services online. Beyond these, according to T.H. Marshall, online
citizenship has traditions:
1. Liberalism – a political philosophy founded on the ideas of liberty
and equality.
2. Republicanism – ideology of being citizen and the people are the
sovereign power.
3. Ascriptive Hierarchy – no one person or organization is in control
over the internet.

Elements of Digital Citizenship

Digital Citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate,
responsible behavior with regard to technology use.
According to digital citizenship.net, the nine elements of digital
citizenship are:
1. Digital Access or Internet access is the basic element to becoming
a digital citizen.
2. Digital Commerce or e-commerce as selling and buying goods
online and becomes the norms for shopping for its ease and
savings.
3. Digital Communication today is easier, faster and cheaper to get in
touch with anyone around the world and beyond. Email, Facebook
messenger and whole lot of applications have allowed the ease of
sharing one’s thoughts in words, photos and videos.
4. Digital Literacy deals with learning and then sharing or teaching
about technology available online.
5. Digital Etiquette is appropriate and is very challenging considering
that people come from different backgrounds and cultures.
6. Digital Law deals with the laws and ethics in society as a whole.
7. Digital Rights and Responsibilities is the right to privacy and
speech protection in the digital world. Digital citizens must know
how to use the technology in the proper way.
8. Digital Health and Wellness. The dangers of using the computer and
the internet have manifested and have caused suffering to digital
citizens.
9. Digital Security (self-protection). Digital citizens must protect
themselves by creating difficult passwords, installing virus
protection, back up data, and many other protection protocols to
protect their digital rights.
Activity 2:

BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE LESSON

Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing and

securing and managing resources for the successful completion of a task
of project to meet specific goals and objectives. The team should follow
the stages of a project development and practice effective communication
and brainstorming discussion on development.

REMEMBER

Principles of Visual Message Design Using Infographics

Infographics are visual presentations of information that use the

elements of design to quickly communicate an idea. Good infographics
attract readers and are viewed more easily than long text articles.
Therefore, infographics can deliver a message more easily which can be
spread around the world with the use of free sharing tools.

Ways that infographics can be used:

 Presenting survey data – Infographics are highly useful in
presenting results gathered from survey data. It becomes much
easier and faster to draw meaning from data.
  Simplifying a complicated concept – the core purpose of an
infographic is to simplify a complex idea which makes them great
education tools.
 Explaining how things work – they are often used to reveal the
mechanics behind how objects work.
 Comparisons – infographics help organize similarities and
differences by visually creating parallels that complement the
information being presented.

Principles in creating an infographic

 Be creative – use combination of text, shapes and images in a
creative way.
 Be unique – present it in a surprising and exciting way to draw
attention.
 Be simple – too many pictures and colors may be hard to
understand and distract the readers from getting the message.
 Use graphics and visuals – you can illustrate your point with
pictures, typography and color.
 Use the forwarding tool – it is important that the viewer will be able
to easily click “share” after reading so that your message can be
forwarded and read by as many people as possible.

Infographic Elements and Tools:

 Graphs and bars
 Pies and icons
 Human Infographics
 Timeline Infographics
 Puzzle pieces

Activity 2: Directions: Following the principles in creating an

infographic. Create an infographic about one topic of your choice below.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE LESSON

After creating, designing and launching your website, there are

other works that you must do – you have to regularly maintain and update
it to keep the contents fresh. This will encourage people to view your site
more often, increase web traffic and attain more visits.

REMEMBER

Updating Content and Maintaining Traffic to an ICT Project

1. Update Contents regularly – Add fresh, new contents, pictures,
videos, infographics, blog, news, articles and ideas regularly.
2. Update links – regularly check links to other sites to make sure they
are current and better if you have new links to add.
3. Reply to inquiries – Activity in your site will increase more traffic and
visitors.
4. Maintaining your Site – Check that any changes or addition you will
make will not affect the links and loading images and pages.

Monitoring Social Impact of Advocacies via an ICT Project

A rapidly changing and growing world entails many negative effects.
For example, people who have limited access to the modern world are left
out and are unable to participate and benefit from the changes. Digital
Divide is a term that refers to the gap between demographics and regions
that have access to modern information and communication technology,
and those that don’t or have restricted access. This technology can
include the telephone, television, personal computers and the internet.

Thanks to the people involved in various advocacies that extend a

helping hand to people who are marginalized and left out. There is still
hope in the horizon for both. However, remote and poor areas are not
properly assessed whether these advocacies are changing the lives of
people or the environment that have been affected by change.

ICT will be able to monitor remote and poor areas now that
technology is accessible and affordable to many. Empowered volunteers
can take photos and videos as well as write assessments to headquarters
for further data analysis and tasked whether the various advocacies for
people or environment are improving the people’s lives or the
environment.

Reflecting on the ICT Learning Process

1. ICT
Computers were created to facilitate engineering and scientific
calculations. Then, gradually the computers’ usefulness found its
way into business and industry. Lately, computers have reached a
point that they have also become common learning tools, finding
their way into schools and homes to accomplish tasks, and obtain
knowledge and information.

From the usual writing letters and reports, performing

mathematical solutions, drawing and editing photos and many
others, materials around in the realm of the World Wide Web for the
learner and learn from.

Online education and learning are now common both for the
formal and the self-help students. All these became available due to
the advances in computer technology, internet communication and
educational innovations, Computers have been in a big boom to
education due to its effectiveness and efficiency.

2. Self
As an individual learner in school or at home, the student now
has access to enormous educational resources in advancing and
learning more than what the regular classroom can offer. The
students have now in their fingertips the resources that were not
available without ICT, and the efficiency and ease in accessing them
has never been as fast as today. The challenge today is the self-
discipline and self-management of young students in the use of ICT,
since computers also tend to attract them to entertainment and
games, which distracts them from learning.

3. Society
ICT as a means to improve the quality of community life is
real and feasible. An effective ICT execution should provide the
following benefits.
▪ Better income and business climate
▪ Superior health system
▪ Improved educational system
 ▪ Constant information campaign
▪ Participative decision-making for constituents
▪ Equitable sharing and utilization of resources
▪ Effective feedback mechanism to enhance government
services

 BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE LESSON
In today’s era, many jobs require artistic and creative skills with the
use of computer. You have to learn and practice the use of software
programs to be able to master your skills. There are also businesses that
you can start with your skill.

ICT may be a business tool or maybe the business itself. You can
use online tools and applications software to plan, manage and
accomplish the day-to-day business operations, communication to peers,
and market to clients.

REMEMBER

Brief Introduction

Key Concepts of Selecting a Business Idea

In screening your ideas, examine each one in terms of the following

guide questions:

1. How much capital is needed to put up the business?

2. Where should the business be located?
3. How big is the demand for the product? Do many people need this
product and will continue to need it for a long time?
4. How is the demand met? Who is processing the products to meet the
needs (competition or demand)? How much of the need is now being
met (supply)?
5. Do you have the background and experiences needed to run this
particular business?
6. Will the business be legal and not against any existing or foreseeable
government regulations?
7. Is the business in line with your interest and expertise?

Your answers to these questions will be helpful in screening which

among your many ideas are worth examining further and worth pursuing.

Branding

Branding is a marketing practice of creating a name, a symbol or

design that identifies and differentiates product or services from the rest.
It is also a promise to your customers. It tells them what they can expect
from your product or service and it differentiates your offerings from other
competitors. Your brand is derived from who you are, who you want to be
and what people perceive you to be.
 Branding is one of the most important aspects in any business. An
effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly
competitive markets.

A good product can:

- deliver message clearly
- confirm credibility
- connect to target prospect
- motivate buyers, and
- concretize user loyalty

Here are simple tips to publicize your brand:

● Develop a tagline. Write a statement that is meaningful,

impressive, and easy to remember to capture the essence of your
brand.
● Design a logo. Create a logo symbolic of your business and
consistent with your tagline and displace it strategically.
● Write a brand message. Select a key message to communicate
about your brand.
● Sustain a brand quality. Deliver a promise of quality through your
brand.
● Practice consistency. Be reliable and consistent to what your
brand means in your business.

Activities

ACTIVITY 1: SWOT Analysis

Directions: In a separate sheet of paper or in your notebook list down

all your observations for your business idea. Categorize your
observations according to strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
treats. After carefully listing them down, use the stated strategies to
come up with a sound analysis, activities and best business idea.
ACTIVITY: Designing A Logo
Directions: In a separate sheet of paper or in your notebook draw
a logo that you will use in your business. Provide a simple statement to
describe your logo.
 Remember

Business ideas can come from your own skills. The work and
experience you may have in agricultural arts, industrial arts, home
economics, or ICT classes will provide you with business opportunities
to acquire the needed skills which will earn you extra income should
you decide to engage in income-generating activities. With your skills,
you may also think around with various things in your spare time. Many
products are invented this way.

In your own observation, the lessons of this particular subject that

you have learned this semester have changed your point of view or
perception on the nature of ICT into positive ways or manner of using
social media as a tool or platform to give the general public the true
