Lesson
Introduction to Information &
1 Communication Technology
Education in the twenty-first century is the center from which all changes and
developments arise. Information technology in education needs a culture. This culture
needs to be learned along with the use of hardware resources. The system needs to be
educated to use information technology; otherwise, purchase and transfer of
technology and investment will be nothing but wasting resources. Although these
technologies are not impartial in any sense they should be used as means for
communicating information, in the existing social structures.

However, since the process of change and transformation is in the nature of

human social institutions, the educational system is also prone to some alterations.
But the fundamental problem is that what strategies should be adopted so that

2
education systems in developing countries do not only follow developed countries but
grow and progress base on their own needs in the path of progress.

What is It

ICT- Information and Communication Technology

• It deals with the use of different communication technologies such as mobile

phones, telephone, Internet to locate, save, send and edit information
• It is a study of computers as data processing tools. It introduces students to
the fundamental of using computer systems in an internet environment .

3
 ICT in the Philippines

• 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.

Important terms to remember:

Computer
- an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form,
according to instructions given to it in a variable program
Internet- is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the
internet protocol suite (TCIP/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 the 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.
• It 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.

The different online platforms of World Wide Web

Web 1.0 – refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely made up
of the Web pages connected by hyperlinks.
Web 2.0 – is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic pages. The user is able to see
a website differently than others.
– Allows users to interact with the page; instead of just reading the page, the user
may be able to comment or create user account.
Web 3.0 – this platform is all about semantic web.
– Aims to have machines (or servers) understand the user’s preferences to be able
to deliver web content.
Static Web Page- is known as a flat page or stationary age 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.

FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

1. Folksonomy - allows user to categorize and classify information using freely chosen
keywords e.g. tagging by FB, Twitter, use tags that start with the sign #, referred to
as hashtag.
2. Rich User Experience – content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input

4
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, Amazon.
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.
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.

TRENDS IN ICT
1. Convergence- is the synergy of technological advancements to work on a similar
goal or task.
For example, besides using your personal computer to create word documents, you
can now use your smartphone.
2. Social Media - is a website, application, or online channel that enables web users
web users to create, co-create, discuss modify, and exchange user generated
content.
SIX TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA:

her account, he/she can set up a profile, add people, share content, etc

Example: Facebook and Google+

b) Bookmarking Sites - Sites that allow you to store and manage links to
various website and resources. Most of the sites allow you to create a tag to
others.
Ex. Stumble Upon, Pinterest
c) Social News – 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 rank.

f) Blogs and Forums - allow user to post their content. Other users are able
to comment on the said topic.
Ex. Blogger, WordPress and Tumblr
3. Mobile Technologies - The popularity of smartphones and tablets has taken a
major rise over the years. This is largely because of the devices capability to do the
tasks that were originally found in PCs. Several of these devices are capable of using
a high-speed internet. Today the latest model devices use 4G Networking (LTE),
which is currently the fastest.

5
MOBILE OS
iOS - use in apple devices such as iPhone and iPad
Android - an open source OS developed by Google. Being open source means mobile
phone companies use this OS for free.
Blackberry OS - use in blackberry devices
Windows phone OS - A closed source and proprietary operating system developed
by Microsoft.
Symbian - the original smartphone OS. Used by Nokia devices
Web OS- originally used in smartphone; now in smart TVs.
Windows Mobile - developed by Microsoft for smartphones and pocket PCs

4. Assistive Media - is a non- profit service designed to help people who have visual
and reading impairments.
- A database of audio recordings is used to read to the user.
5. Cloud computing - distributed computing on internet or delivery of computing
service over the internet.

Example:
e.g. Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail
Instead of running an e-mail program on your computer, you log in to a Web e-mail
account remotely. The software and storage for your account doesn’t exist on your
computer – it’s on the service’s computer cloud.
