LESSON 1
What is Information and

Communications Technology (ICT)?
 ICT is the term that is currently favored by
most business and educational
institutions. The “C” reflects the important
role that computers now play in
communications, e.g., by email, the
Web, by satellite and cellphone (mobile
phone).
 The “S” at the end of communications,

which is a term that predates computer
technology and was originally associated
with Morse code, radio, and often
abbreviated to “comms.”
 ICT deals with the use of different
communication technologies such as
mobile phones, telephone, Internet, etc. to
locate, save, send, and edit information.
 Philippines as the “ICT hub of Asia”. Huge
growth of ICT related jobs around the
country, one of which is Call Center or BPO
(Business Process Outsourcing) centers.
 According to 2013 edition of Measuring the
Information Society by the International
Telecommunication Union, there are 106.8
cellphones per 100 Filipinos in the year
2012.
ICT in the Philippines
 In a data gathered by the annual survey of
Philippines business and industries in
2010, the ICT industry shares 19.3% of
the total employment population.
 Time magazines declared Makati City,

Philippines-Rank 1 as the “Selfiest” Cities

around the world, and Rank 9 is Cebu
City.
WWW (World Wide Web)
When WWW was invented, most web

pages were static. Static (also known as
flat page or stationary page) in the
same that the page “as is” and cannot
be manipulated by the user. This
referred to as Web 1.0.
Web 2.0
Web 2.0 allows the user to interact with
the page known as DYNAMIC PAGE;
instead of just reading a page, the user
may be able to comment or create a user
account. Dynamic page refers to the web
pages that are affected by user input or
preference.
Web 2.0
 Social networking sites
 Blogs
 Wikis
 Video sharing sites
Example
Key Features of Web 2.0
 Folksonomy – allows users to categorize and

classify/arrange information using freely chosen
keywords (e.g. tagging). Popular social
networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram,
Facebook, etc. use tags that start with a pound
sign (#) or hashtag.
 Rich User Interface – content is dynamic and is

responsive to user’s input. An example would be
a website that shows local content. In the case
of social networking sites, when logged on, your
account is used to modify what you see in their

website.
Key Features of Web 2.0
 User Participation – the owner of website is

not the only one who is able to put content.
Others are able to place a content on their
own by means of comments, reviews, and
evaluation.
 Long Tail – services 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 on Internet or a data plan that charges
you for the amount of bandwidth you used.
Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
 Semantic Web – is a movement led by

the World Wide Web Consortium(W3C).
The semantic web provides a framework
that allows data to be shared and reuse to
deliver web content specifically targeting
the user.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
 Compatibility - HTML files and current

web browsers could not support Web 3.0.
 Security - The user’s security is also
question since the machine is saving
his or her preferences.
 Vastness - The World Wide Web already
contains billions of web pages.
 Vagueness – Certain words are imprecise.
The words “old” and “small” would depend to
the user.
 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.

Six types of Social Media

1. Social Networks – These are sites
that allows you to connect with other
people with the same interests or
background. Once the user creates
his/her account, he/she can set up a
profile, add people, share content, etc.
Example : Facebook and Google+
www.facebook.com
2. Bookmarking Sites– These are sites
that allow you to store and manage links
to various website and resources. Most of
these sites allow you to create a tag and
easily share them.
Ex. : StumbleUpon/Pinterest
www.stumbleupon.com
3. 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 rank.
Example: reddit and Digg
www.reddit.com
4. Media Sharing – These are sites that
allow you to upload and share media
content like images, music and video.
Example: Flickr, Youtube and
Instagram.
www.instagram.com
5. Microblogging – These are sites that
focus on short updates from the user.
Those that subscribed to the user will be
able to receive these updates.
Example: Twitter and Plurk
www.twitter.com
6. Blogs and Forums – These websites
allow user to post their content. Other
users are able to comment on the said
topic.
Example: Blogger, WordPress and
Tumblr

www.tumblr.com
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 to
create, co-create, discuss, modify, and
exchange user generated content.
3. Mobile Technologies – The popularities 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
high-speed internet. Today the latest model
devices use 4G Networking(LTE), which is
currently the fastest mobile network.
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.
WebOS – originally used in smartphones;
now used in smartTVs.
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.

Key Terms:
Web 1.0 – static websites without interactivity.
Web 2.0 – websites that contain dynamic
content.
Web 3.0 – a concept of the World Wide Web
that is designed to cater to the individual user.
Static – refers to the web that are the same
regardless of the user.
Dynamic – refers to the web pages that are
affected by user input or preference.
Folksonomy – allows user to categorize and
classify/arrange information.
Hashtag # – used to “categorize” posts in a
website.
Convergence – the synergy of technological
advancements to work a similar goal or task.
Social Media – websites, applications or online
channels that enable users to co-create,
discuss, modify, and exchange user-generated
content.

Online Safety, Security, Ethics, and
Etiquette
What is a cyber-citizen?
Cyber Citizen utilizes technology in an
appropriate manner including etiquette,
communication, education, access,
commerce, responsibility, rights, safety,
and security.
Here are other ways to be cyber aware.
Cell phones
 “Sexting” is a term used to describe inappropriate
photos or text sent via cell phones
 Cell phone history options allow you to view past
callers and messages. Although the history can
be deleted, contact your cell phone provider for
any other options available.
 Geotagging allows users to note where they are
located in a smart phone photo.

Online Search and
Research Skills
LESSON 3
The Contenders About Browser or Search engine
 You’re probably familiar with the two search
engines already, but just for a refresher, here’s
what we’re talking about:
 Google: By far the most used search engine in
the world, Google Search has been around
since 1997 and is constantly improving with new
smart results, advanced features, and
integration with other Google products. As of
February of this year, Google currently has
64.5% of the US’s search market share.
The Contenders
 Bing: Bing is the latest name for Microsoft’s
search engine, previously called Windows
Live Search and MSN Search.
 Bing brands itself as a “decision engine”,
aiming to present results with more real-world
context than just finding text on a page. Bing
also powers Yahoo’s search, which, coupled
with Bing, serves 32.6% of US internet
searchers.
Basic Layout and Features
Lifehacker has some great articles where they
try to convince as much as anyone else why
Bing is a serious contender to google. Plus
points include:
 Bing’s Video search is significantly better
than Google’s, giving you a grid of large

thumbnails that you can click on to play or

preview if you hover them.
 Bing often gives twice as many autocomplete
suggestions than google does.

 Bing can predict when airfares are about to
go up or down if you’re searching for flights
 Bing also has a feature where if you type
linkfromdomain:[sitename], it will highlight
the best ranked outgoing links from the site,
helping you out which other sites your
chosen site links to the most.
 Also note that Bing powers Yahoo’s search
engine
 Google’s shopping suggestions show up
more often than Bing’s do, and they’re
generally much better. So if you’re trying to
find out which stores carry a certain product,
or where to find the best price online, Google
will be better than Bing.

of the University of Pennsylvania, the site is a
“nonpartisan, nonprofit ‘consumer advocate’ for
voters that aims to reduce the level of deception
and confusion in U.S. politics”. While its focus is
on politics, that topic is taken broadly and
encompasses a lot of web content.
Fact-checking sites
Checkdesk
A verification tool designed to help curate usergenerated content during breaking news and
connect journalists to citizen sources on the
ground. “Checkdesk facilitates collaborative factchecking of unverified reports,” the developers
write. “Professional journalists can join forces with
citizen journalists in search of background
information and evidence to corroborate social
media reports.”
Fact-checking sites
Full Fact Finder

This U.K based site covers information on the

economy, health, crime and the law,
immigration and education. “Search results
offer users general background information, as
well as details on the sort of data available in
the area and links to statics from official bodies”
Fact-checking sites
Emergent.Info
The sites tagline is ”real-time rumor tracker”. For
example, on April 1, 2015, it checked whether a
man was wanted in England for slapping people
who sneeze in public(true) and a claim that
doctors had confirmed the first death due to
genetically modified food(false). The site is part of
a research project of the Tow Center for Digital
Journalism at Columbia University that focuses
on how unverified information and rumor are
reported in the media.
Fact-checking sites
Churnalism
From the Sunlight Foundation, Churnalism is
based on a U.K site and compares articles to a
database of press releases. It’s intended as a
public-accountability tool but could also useful
for journalists assessing blog posts and other
source material.

misinformation on Twitter.

Fact-correction tools
MediaBugs
A service for reporting specific, correctable
errors, and problems in media coverage. “We’ll
provide a neutral, civil, moderated discussion
space,” they state. “We’ll try to alert the
journalists or new organization involved about
your report and bring them into a conversation.
As a result of this dialogue between journalists
and the public, some errors may get into
corrected; others won’t. Either way, the
discussion will leave a useful public record.
Retwact
A tool that automates the process of notifying
anyone who retweeted an inaccurate tweet
from your account ; the goal is to help slow the
spread of misinformation by making it easier to
correct tweets.
Report an Error Alliance
This is an ad-hoc group of individuals and
organizations who endorse the idea that
websites should always have an easy-to-find
and-use “report an error” button. It’s a way of
saying to users that you care about accuracy,
you want to know when you make errors, and
you’re conscientious about fixing them.
Image tools
TinEye
A reverse-image search engine, TinEye
allows you to find out where an image came
from, how it is being used, if modified versions
exist, or to find higher-resolution versions.
TinEye is the first image search engine to use
image-identification technology rather than
keywords, metadata or watermarks. It is free to
use for non-commercial searching.

The Top 10 Most Common Internet Threats
There is no doubt that you need to be vigilant online. As the World Wide Web has evolved over
the years, many internet nasties have been playing on vulnerabilities to attack computers and
retrieve sensitive data from individuals. Half the time, we aren’t even aware it is happening
until it is too late.
Whilst the internet is a fantastic place for communication and information, there are many
malicious threats you need to dodge along the way.
Spam
The fact that most of our emails accounts come with a ‘Spam’ or ‘Junk’ folder insinuates that spam emails are a
huge issue, with more than 50% of emails being syphoned into these folders. Aside from being an annoyance, spam
emails are not a direct threat. However, many can contain malware.
Adware
Adware is a type of malware software that displays unwanted ads when a user is surfing the internet. The ads often
redirect your searches to advertising websites and collect marketing-type data about you, behind your back, which is
considered malicious.
Adware is often included in many shareware or freeware downloads as a legitimate way of generating advertising
revenues that help fund development. However, some websites are infected with malicious adware that us
automatically downloaded to your computer. When this has been completed, Trojans can be used.
Trojan
Trojans leave your computer completely unprotected, which can mean that hackers can steal any data from your
system. Trojans often present themselves as harmless computer programmes so that hackers can penetrate your
computer without being detected.
Virus
One of the most talked about internet threats is a virus. Viruses usually attach themselves covertly to downloads as
they are designed to spread at an alarming rate. Viruses are often attached to files for download, shared via CDs,
DVDs, and USB sticks, or loaded on to computers by opening infected email attachments.

Worms
Worms usually make their way on to a computer via a malicious email attachment or USB stick. Once your
computer has been infected by a worm, it will likely send itself to every email address logged in your system. To the
receiver, your email will appear harmless, until they open it and are infected by the same worm.
Phishing
In its simplest terms, phishing is a form of fraudulent activity. More often than not, official-looking emails are sent
impersonating a well-known provider, such as a bank. These emails are sent to acquire people’s passwords and
credit card details.
Spyware
Another form of malware is spyware. Spyware is an all-encompassing internet nasty and is usually attached to pop-
ups of downloadable files. Once installed on your computer, spyware can monitor your keystrokes, read and delete
your files, reformat your hard drive, and access your applications. Whoever is controlling the spyware has access to
your personal details without you even knowing.
Keyloggers
Similar to a part of spyware, keyloggers record a user’s keyboard actions. Most keyloggers will be looking for
distinguishable key entries, such as bank card details and passwords. Keylogging is often linked to identity and
intellectual property theft.
Pharming
Pharming is a more complex version of phishing that exploits the DNS system. Pharmers often create web pages
mimicking that of a trustworthy business, such as an online banking log-in page. Users will then enter their details,
thinking they are logging in to their usual service, and their details will be stolen by the pharmer.
Rogue Security Software

If you are ever downloading antivirus or antispyware programmes, make sure you have purchased it from a
legitimate source. Rogue security software will often ask you to pay for extra protection, which is a huge con. The
security software is completely useless and criminals have robbed you of your money.
