LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION TO
ICT

ICT– Information and Communication-

 It deals with the use of different communication technologies such as mobile phones, telephone,
Internet to locate, save, send and edit information
  Is a study of computers as data processing tools. It introduces students to the fundamental of
using computer systems in an internet environment.

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.

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.
          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:
1. 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.
2. 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.

3. 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
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 services- 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:
a)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+
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.
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.
Ex. Reddit and Digg

d)      Media Sharing – sites that allow you to upload and share media content like images,
music and  video.
Ex. Flickr, YouTube and Instagram

e) Microblogging – focus on short updates from the user. Those that subscribed to the user will be
able to receive these updates.
Ex. Twitter and Plurk

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.

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 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.  e.g. Yahoo!, Gmail, HotmailCloud computing-distributed computing on internet or delivery

of computing service over the internet.

  
-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.

It has three components

1. Client computers   –   clients are the device that the end user interact with cloud.
2. Distributed Servers – Often servers are in geographically different places, but server acts as if
they are working next to each other.
3. Datacenters – It is collection of servers where application is placed and is accessed via
Internet.

TYPES OF CLOUDS
PUBLIC CLOUD allows systems and services to be easily accessible to the general public. Public
cloud may be less secured because of its openness, e.g. e-mail
PRIVATE CLOUD allows systems and services to be accessible within an organization. It offers
increased security because of its private nature.
COMMUNITY CLOUD allows systems and services to be accessible by group of organizations.
HYBRID CLOUD is a mixture of public and private cloud. However, the critical activities are
performed using private cloud while the non-critical activities are performed using public cloud.

LESSON 2: ONLINE SAFETY,

SECURITY AND RULES OF
NETIQUETTE
INTERNET SAFETY- it refers to the online security or safety of people and their information
when using internet.
NETIQUETTE- is network etiquette, the do’s and don’ts of online communication.

LESSON 3: Advanced Word

Processing Skills
Lesson Discussion
In the professional world, sending out information to convey important information is vital.
Because of ICT, things are now sent much faster than the traditional newsletters or postal mail. You
can now send much faster than the traditional newsletters or postal mail. You can now use the
Internet to send out information you need to share. What if we could still do things much faster – an
automated way of creating and sending uniform letters with different recipients? Would that not be
more convenient?

I. Mail Merge and Label Generation

A. Mail Merge
          One of the important reasons in using computers per se is its ability to do recurring tasks
automatically. But this ability has to be honed by learning the characteristics and features of the
software you use with your computer. After all, no matter how good or advance your computer and
software may be, it can only be as good as the person using it.

          In this particular part of our lesson, we will learn one of the most powerful and commonly
used features of Microsoft Word called Mail Merge. As the name suggests, this feature allows you
to create documents and combine or merge them with another document or data file. It is
commonly used when sending out advertising materials to various recipients.

           The simplest solution for the scenario above is to create a document and just copy and paste
it several times then just replace the details depending on whom you send it to. But what if you
have hundreds or thousands of recipients? Would not that take too many hours? What if you have a
small database of information where you can automatically generate those letters?
Two Components of Mail Merge
1. Form Document
          The first component of our mail merged document is the form document. It is generally the
document that contains the main body of the message we want to convey or send. The main body
of the message is the part of the form document that remains the same no matter whom you send it
to from among your list.

           Also included in the form document is what we call place holders, also referred to as data
fields or merge fields. This marks the position on your form document where individual data or
information will be inserted. From our sample document, the place holders are denoted or marked
by the text with double-headed arrows (<< >>) on each side and with a gray background. On a
printed standard form, this will be the underlined spaces that you will see and use as a guide to
where you need to write the information that you need to fill out. In its simplest form, a form
document is literally a “form” that you fill out with individual information. A common example of
a form document is your regular tax form or application form.
2. List or Data File
           The second component of our mail merged document is the list or data file. This is where the
individual information or data that needs to be plugged in (merged) to the form document is placed
and maintained. One of the best things about the mail merge feature is that it allows data file to be
created fro within the Microsoft Word application itself, or it gets data from a file created in
Microsoft Excel or other data formats. In this way, fields that needed to be filled up on the form
document can easily be maintained without accidentally altering the form or main document. You
can also easily add, remove, modify, or extract your data more efficiently by using other data
management applications like Excel or Access and import them in Word during the mail merge
process.

B. Label Generation
            Included in the mail merge feature on Microsoft Word is the Label Generator. It just makes
sense that after you print out your form letters, you will need to send it to individual recipients in an
envelope with the matching address printed directly on the envelope or on a mailing label to stick
on. By using virtually the same process as a standard mail merge, Microsoft Word will print
individual addresses to a standard form that it has already pre-formatted. Simply put, it creates a
blank form document that simulates either a blank label or envelope of pre-defined size and will
use the data file that you selected to print the information, typically individual addresses. So even in
generating labels, the two essential components of creating a merged document are present: the
form document and the data file. Only in this case, you did not have to type or create the form
document yourself because it was already created and pre-formatted in Microsoft Word. All you
need to do is select the correct or appropriate size for the label or envelope and select the data file
that contains the addresses (data) to be printed. You can also preview your merged labels before
printing if you want to.

II.  Integrating Images and External Materials

           Integrating or inserting pictures in your document is fun and it improves the impression of
your document. A common use of inserting a picture on a document is when you are creating your
resume. Though seemingly simple to do, your knowledge on the different kinds of materials that
you can insert or integrate in a Word document and its characteristics can help you create a more
efficient, richer document not only in content but also in physical form. A better understanding of
the physical form of your document as well as the different materials you would integrate in it
would allow you to be more efficient and versatile in using Microsoft Word.

A. Kinds of Materials
           There are various kinds of materials Microsoft Word is capable of integrating to make the
documents richer, more impressive, and more informative.

1. Pictures
          Generally, these are electronic or digital pictures or photographs you have saved in any local
storage device. There are three commonly used types of picture files. You can identify them by the
extension on their file names.
a. .JPG/JPEG
          This is pronounced as “jay-peg“ and is the short form of .jpeg or Joint Photographic Experts
Group. Like all the rest of the image file extensions, it identifies the kind of data compression
process that it uses to make it more compatible and portable through the Internet. This type of
image file can support 16.7 million colors that is why it is suitable for use when working with full
color photographic images. Unfortunately, it does not support transparency and therefore, images
of this file type can be difficult to integrate in terms of blending with other materials or elements in
your document. But if you are looking for the best quality image to integrate with your document
then this is the image file type for you. .JPG does not work well on lettering, line drawings, or
simple graphics. .JPG images are relatively small in file size.

b. .GIF
          This stands for Graphics Interchange Format. This type of image file is capable of displaying
transparencies. Therefore, it is good for blending with other materials or elements in your
document. It is also capable of displaying simple animation. Apparently, this may not be too useful
on a printed document but if you are sending documents electronically or through email, or even
post documents into a website, then this could be quite impressive. The downside is that it can only
support up to 256 colors so it is good mostly on logos and art decors with very limited, and
generally solid colors. .GIF is much better for logos, drawings, small text, black and white images,
or low-resolution files.
 Example of a .gif format picture.

c. .PNG 
           This is pronounced as “ping“. It stands for Portable Network Graphics. It was built around
the capabilities of .GIF. Its development was basically for the purpose of transporting images on
the Internet at faster rates. It is also good with transparencies but unlike .GIFs, it does not support
animation but it can display up to 16 million colors, so image quality for this image file type is also
remarkably improved. .PNG allows the control of the transparency level or opacity of images.

Example of .png format picture.

2.  Clip Art

          This is generally a .GIF type; line art drawings or images used as generic representation for
ideas and objects that you might want to integrate in your document. Microsoft Word has a library
of clip arts that is built in or can be downloaded and used freely. There are still other clip arts that
you can either purchase or freely download and use that come from third-party providers.
 Clip Art Icon in Microsoft Office 2010.
3.  Shapes
          These are printable objects or materials that you can integrate in your document to enhance
its appearance or allow you to have some tools to use for composing and representing ideas or
messages. If you are designing the layout for a poster or other graphic material for advertising, you
might find this useful.

Shapes Icon under the Insert ribbon tab.

4. Smart Art
          Generally, these are predefined sets of different shapes grouped together to form ideas that
are organizational or structural in nature. If you want to graphically represent an organization,
process, relationships, or flow for infographic documents, then you will find this easy and handy to
use.
 Smart Art

5.  Chart
Another type of material that you can integrate in your Word document that allows you to represent
data characteristics and trends. This is quite useful when you are preparing reports that correlate
and present data in a graphical manner. You can create charts that can be integrate in your
document either directly in Microsoft Word or imported from external files like Microsoft Excel.
 Chart – Used to illustrate and compare data.
6. Screenshot
Sometimes, creating reports or manuals for training or procedures will require the integration of a
more realistic image of what you are discussing on your report or manual. Nothing can get you a
more realistic image than a screenshot. Microsoft Word even provides a snipping tool for your
screen shots so you can select and display only the part that you exactly like to capture on your
screen.

III. Image Placement

Layout of  text wrapping options.

A. In Line with Text

This is the default setting for images that are inserted or integrated in your document. It treats your
image like a text font with the bottom side totally aligned with the text line. This setting is usually
used when you need to place your image at the beginning of a paragraph. When placed between
texts in a paragraph or a sentence, it distorts the overall appearance and arrangement of the texts in
the paragraph because it will take up the space it needs vertically, pushing whole lines of texts
upward.

B. Square

This setting allows the image you inserted to be placed anywhere with the paragraph with the text
going around the image in a square pattern like frame.

C. Tight
This is almost the same as the Square setting, but here the text “hug” or conforms to the general
shape of the image. This allows you to get a more creative effect on your document. This setting
can mostly be achieved if you are using an image that supports transparency like a .GIF or .PNG
file.

D. Through

This setting allows the text on your document to flow even tighter taking the contours and shape of
the image. Again, this can be best used with .GIF or .PNG type of image.

E. Top and Bottom

This setting pushes the texts away vertically to the top and/or the bottom of the image so that the
image occupies a whole text line on its own.

F. Behind Text

This allows your image to be dragged and placed anywhere on your document but with all the texts
floating in front of it. It effectively makes your image look like a background.

G. In Front of Text

As it suggests, this setting allows your image to be placed right on top of the text as if your image
was dropped right on it. That means whatever part of the text you placed the image on, it will be
covered by the image.

 LESSON 5: Advanced Presentation
Skills
Powerpoint is a highly innovative and versatile program that can ensure a successful
communication whether you’re presenting in front of potential investors, a lecture theatre or simply
in front of your colleagues. The following are the five features you should be using-if youy aren’t
already. Learn everything about these tips: they will improve your presentation skills and allow you
to communicate your message successfully. The five features of powerpoint was

1)adding smart art

2)Inserting Shapes

3)Inserting and Image

4)Slide Transitions

5)Adding Animations

Creating an Effective Presentation

1. Minimize: Keep slides counts to a minimum to maintain a clear message and to keep the
audience attentive. Remember that the presentation is just a visual aid. Most information should
still come from the reporter.
2.Clarity: Avoid being to fancy by using font style that is easy to read. Make sure that it is also big
enough to be read by the audience. Once you start making your presentation, consider how big the
screen is during your report.
3.Simplicity: Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize the information on the screen to have your
audience focus on what the speaker is saying than on reading the slide. Limit the content to six
lines and seven words per line. This is known as the 6 x 7 rule.
4. Visual: Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many to distract the audience. In
addition, instead of using table of data, use charts and graphs.
5. Consistency: Make your design uniform. Avoid having different font styles and backgrounds.
6. Contrast: Use a light font on dark background or vice versa. This is done so that it is easier to
read. In most instances, it is easier to read on screen if the background is dark. This is due to the
brightness of the screen.

 LESSON 6: Imaging and Design

for Online Environment
PHOTO EDITING
 Photo editing encompasses the processes of altering images, whether they are digital
photographs, traditional photo chemical photographs, or illustrations. Traditional analog image
editing is known as photo retouching, using tools such as an airbrush to modify photographs, or
editing illustrations with any traditional art medium.

Graphic software programs

 Which can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors, raster graphics editors, and 3D
modelers are the primary tools with which a user may manipulate, enhance, and transform
images. Many image editing programs are also used to render or create computer art from
scratch.
BASIC OF IMAGE EDITING
1. RASTER IMAGESare stored in a computer in the form of a grid of picture elements or pixels.
2. VECTOR IMAGESsuch as Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape and etc. are used to create and modify
vector images, which are stored as descriptions of lines, Bezier curves and text instead of pixels.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RASTER AND VECTOR IMAGES
RASTER IMAGESuse many colored pixels or individual building blocks to form a complete
image JPEGs, GIFs and PNGs are common raster image types. Almost all of the photos found on
the web and in print catalogs are raster images.
 VECTOR IMAGES alternatively, allow for more flexibility. Constructed using mathematical
formulas rather than individual colored blocks, vector file types such as EPS, AI and PDF are
excellent for creating graphics that frequently require resizing.
3. 3D MODELING (OR MODELLING) is the process of developing a mathematical
representation of any three dimensional surface of an object via specialized software. The
product is called a 3D model. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process
called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation or physical phenomena. The model can
also be physically created using 3D printing devices.

IMAGE FORMATS
Ø  JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for
those images produced by a digital photography.
Ø  PNG (PORTABLE NETWORK GRAPHICS) is a raster graphics file format that supports
lossless data compression.
Ø  GIF a lossless format for image files that supports both animated and static images.
Ø  BMP is a raster graphics image used to store bitmap digital images
Ø  EPS used in vector-based images in Adobe Illustrator.
Ø  SVG is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics w/ support for
interactivity and animation
Ø  .3ds is one of the file formats used by the Autodesk 3Ds Max 3D Modelling, animation and
rendering software.
Ø  .fbx is an exchange format, in particular for interoperability between Autodesk products and
other digital content creation software
FEATURES OF IMAGE EDITORS

SELECTION One of the prerequisites for many of the app mentioned below is a method of
selecting part(s) of an image, thus applying a change selectively without affecting the entire picture
Ø  MARQUEE TOOL for selecting rectangular or other regular polygon-shaped regions
Ø  LASSO TOOL for freehand selection of a region
Ø  MAGIC WAND TOOL selects objects or regions in the image defined by proximity of color or
luminance

LAYERS which are analogous to sheets of transparent acetate, stacked on top of each other, each
capable of being individually positioned, altered and blended with the layers below, w/o affecting
any of the elements on the other layers.

IMAGE SIZE resize images in a process often called image scaling, making them larger, or
smaller. High image resolution cameras can produce large images which are often reduced in size
for Internet use.
CROPPING creates a new image by selecting a desired rectangular portion from the image being
cropped. The unwanted part of the image is discarded. Image cropping does not reduce the
resolution of the area cropped.

CLONING uses the current brush to copy from an image or pattern. It has many uses: one of the
most important is to repair problem areas in digital photos.
IMAGE ORIENTATION – Image editors are capable of altering an image to be rotated in any
direction and to any degree. Mirror images can be created and images can be horizontally flipped or
vertically flopped. Rotated image usually require cropping afterwards, in order to remove the
resulting gaps at the image edges.

PERSPECTIVE – is the art of drawing solid objects on a two- dimensional surface so as to give
the right impression of their height, width, depth and position in relation to each other when viewed
from a particular point.

SHARPENING AND SOFTENING– Sharpening makes images clearer. Too much sharpening

causes grains on the surface of the image. Softening makes images softer that removes some of the
highly visible flaws. Too much causes the image to blur.
SATURATION- is an expression for the relative bandwidth of the visible output from a light
source. As saturation increase, colors appear more “pure.’’ As saturation decreases, colors appear
more ‘’ washed-out.’’

CONTRAST AND BRIGHTENING

Contrast of images and brighten or darken the image. Underexposed images can be often be
improved by using this feature.

Brightening lightens the image so the photo brightens up. Brightness is a relative expression of the
intensity of the energy output of a visible light source.

Adjusting contrast means adjusting brightness because they work together to make a better image.
PHOTO MANIPULATION
Photo manipulation involves transforming or altering a photograph using various methods and
techniques to achieve desired results. Some photo manipulations are considered skillful artwork
while others are frowned upon as unethical practices, especially when used to deceive the public,
such as hat used for political propaganda , or to make a product or person look better.

  
DIFFERENCES
PHOTO EDITING – signifies the regular process used to enhance photos and to create them
‘’Actual editing simple process’’. Also includes some of the regular programs used for editing and
expose how to use them.
PHOTO MANIPULATION – includes all simple editing techniques and have some manipulation
techniques like erasing, adding objects , adding some graphical effects, background correction,
creating incredible effect, change elements in an image,  adding styles , eliminating blemishes from
a  person’s face and changing the features of a person’s body.
b.) Infographics
 also known as data visualization, information design, and communication design
 It is any graphic that display and explains information, whether that be data or words. When we
use the term ‘’infographics’’, we’re using it as a general term used to describe data presented in
a visual way.
 Infographics are important because they change the way people find and experience stories.
Infographics are being used to augment editorial content on the web, it create a new way of
seeing the world of data, and they help communicate complex ideas in a clear and beautiful
way.

 LESSON 7: Online Platforms for
ICT Content Development
1.Facebook
Posted on February 13, 2017

1. Marketplace – allows members to post, read and respond to classified ads.

2. Groups – allows members who have common interests to find each other and interact.
3. Events  – allows members to publicize an event, invite guests and track who plans to attend.
4. Pages – allows members to create and promote a public page built around a specific topic.
5. Presence technology – allows members to see which contacts are online and chat.
Within each member’s personal profile, there are several key networking components. The most
popular is arguably the Wall, which is essentially a virtual bulletin board. Messages left on a
member’s Wall can be text, video or photos. Another popular component is the virtual Photo
Album. Photos can be uploaded from the desktop or directly from a smartphone camera. There is
no limitation on quantity, but Facebook staff will remove inappropriate or copyrighted images.  An
interactive album feature allows the member’s contacts (who are called generically called
“friends”) to comment on each other’s photos and identify (tag) people in the photos. Another
popular profile component is status updates, a microbloggingfeature that allows members to
broadcast short Twitter-like announcements to their friends. All interactions are published in a
news feed, which is distributed in real-time to the member’s friends.
Facebook offers a range of privacy options to its members.  A member can make all his
communications visible to everyone, he can block specific connections or he can keep all his
communications private. Members can choose whether or not to be searchable, decide which parts
of their profile are public, decide what not to put in their news feed and determine exactly who can
see their posts. For those members who wish to use Facebook to communicate privately, there is a
message feature, which closely resembles email.

2. Instagram

Instagram is an online mobile photo-sharing site that allows its users to share pictures and videos
either publicly or privately on the app, as well as through a variety of other social networking
platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Flickr. Originally, a distinctive feature was that
it confined photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid SX-70 images, in
contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras. In August 2015, version
7.5 was released, allowing users to upload media captured in any aspect ratio. Users can also apply
digital filters to their images. Videos on Instagram debuted in June 2013, allowing prerecorded
square standard definition resolution clips of up to 15 seconds to be shared; later improvements
added support for widescreenresolutions of up to 1080p and longer recording times for either
prerecorded (up to one minute) or disappearing live (up to one hour) videos.
Instagram was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, and launched in October 2010 as a
free mobile app. The service rapidly gained popularity, with over 100 million active users as of
April 2012[10][11] and over 300 million as of December 2014.[12] Instagram is distributed through
the Apple App Store and Google Play.[13]Support for the app is available for iPhone, iPad, iPod
Touch, Windows 10 devices and Android handsets, while third-party Instagram apps are available
for BlackBerry 10 and Nokia-Symbian Devices.

3. Twitter

Twitter  is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact with

messages, “tweets,” restricted to 140 characters. Registered users can post tweets, but those who
are unregistered can only read them. Users access Twitter through its website interface, SMS or a
mobile device app.[10] Twitter Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, United States, and has
more than 25 offices around the world.
Twitter is about learning and adding value
It is also about adding value to others by giving or sharing something valuable to them so that they
are able to learn something. That is why I usually tweet about stuff that I read, learned or have good
value. I have learned so much from the others that is why I love twitter. It is also about helping
others, I disagree with many‘experts’ that say you should only follow ‘influential’ users because I
don’t judge someone that way, and because I believe the people at Twitter don’t believe in them
either. I also disagree that you should only share your own stuff otherwise you will dilute your
brand. Sure it makes sense but 24/7 sharing your own blog post and following influential people?

BLOGGING SITES
1. Weebly

Weebly is one of the easiest website builders in the market .  They allow you to drag and drop
content into a website, so it’s very intuitive to use (click here to see our opinion on Weebly).
By using Weebly’s website building elements, you can literally drag them into your website and
have a website built relatively quickly, and painlessly.  The beauty of this system is that you can
pretty much drag the elements to wherever you want – so it’s not very restrictive on where and how
you place your website content.
Weebly’s elements include pictures, paragraphs, videos, buttons, maps, contact forms – basically
all the basics for website building.

2. Tumblr

Tumblr is a popular microblogging platform designed for creative self-expression. It is considered a

mindful alternative to Facebook and other social media websites where users blog on a myriad of
topics.

You can link your Tumblr account to other social networks you use and you can feed your
traditional blog or other RSS feed to your Tumblelog. You can also create static pages such as your
own Questions page that people are automatically taken to when they ask you a question. If you
want to make your Tumblelog look more lie a traditional website, you can do it by adding pages.
You can make your Tumblelog private or just make specific posts private as needed, and you can
schedule posts to publish in the future.
 Tumblr is perfect for people who don’t need a full blog to publish lengthy posts. It’s also great for
people who prefer to publish quick multimedia posts, particularly from their mobile devices.
Tumblr is also a great choice for people who want to join a larger community. If a blog is too much
or too big for you, but Twitter is too small or too little for you and Instagram isn’t versatile enough
for you, then Tumblr might be just right for you.
It’s also easy to invite other people to contribute to your Tumblelog.

If you want to track your stats, you can add any analytics tracking code to your Tumblelog. Some
users will even burn a feed with Feedburner, create custom themes, and use their own domain
names
3. Pinterest

Pinterest is a free website that requires registration to use.Users can upload, save, sort, and manage
images—known as pins—and other media content (e.g., videos) through collections known as
pinboards. Pinterest acts as a personalized media platform. Users can browse the content of others
in their feed. Users can then save individual pins to one of their own boards using the “Pin It”
button, with pinboards typically organized by a central topic or theme. Users can personalize their
experience by pinning items, creating boards, and interacting with other members. The end result is
that the “pin feed” of each user displays unique, personalized results.
Content can also be found outside of Pinterest and similarly uploaded to a board via the “Pin It”
button, which can be downloaded to the bookmark bar on a web browser, or be implemented by a
webmaster directly on the website. They also have the option of sending a pin to other Pinterest
users and email accounts through the “Send” button. Some websites include red and white “pin it”
buttons on items, which allow Pinterest users to pin them directly.
Initially, there were several ways to register a new Pinterest account. Potential users could either
receive an invitation from an already registered friend, or they could request an invitation directly
from the Pinterest website that could take some time to receive. An account can also be created and
accessed by linking Pinterest to a Facebook or Twitter profile. When a user re-posts or re-pins an
image to their own board, they have the option of notifying their Facebook and Twitter followers.
This feature can be managed on the settings page.
On the main Pinterest page, a “pin feed” appears, displaying the chronological activity from the
Pinterest boards that a user follows.
A “board” is where the user’s pins are located. Users can have several boards for various items
such as quotes, travel or, most popularly, weddings. A “pin” is an image that has either been
uploaded or linked from a website. Once users create boards and add pins, other users can
now repin, meaning they can pin one user’s image to their board as well. Once the user has set up
their account and boards, they can browse, comment, and like other pins. Users might be
discouraged by repeated images and difficult-to-follow direct linking features. Pinterest has also
added the option of making boards “secret” so that the user can pin to and view boards that only the
user can see when logged into their own account.
Pinterest does not generate its own content; rather, it draws from many resources around the web
and compiles them in one convenient location for users.
 

LESSON 8: Basic Web Page

Creation
1.) What are the advantages and disadvantages of a WYSIWYG editor?
ADVANTAGE :

-You don’t need any scripting/coding experience.

– It’s simple and easy for beginners.

– Everything moves fluently, and you can easily preview what you want.

DISADVANTAGE :

-A lot of HTML code churned out by the editors is superfluous which makes the web pages bulky
in file size

-WYSIWYG editors let you ignore certain aspects that are important.

-WYSIWYG editors simply do not provide enough support and help in optimizing your web site
for search engines.

LESSON 11: ICT as Platform for

Change
The Role of ICT in Recent History
     Throughout recent history, the Philippines have been one of a few nations that demonstrate unity
for a call to action or social change. These campaigns for social change would have not been
successful if it were not for ICT.
1. EDSA (PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION). The people power revolution lasted from 1083
to 1986. During a radio broadcast of Radio Veritas, Cardinal Sin encouraged the Filipinos to
help end the regime of then President Ferdinand Marcos. A major protest took place along the
EDSA from February 22 to 25, 1986 involving two million Filipinos from different sectors.
These included civilians, political parties, the military and religious groups.
2. EDSA DOS.This is also known as the 2001 EDSA Revolution, happened during January 17 to
21, 2001. It was fueled after 11 prosecutors of the President Joseph Estrada walked out of the
impeachment trial. As a result, the crowd in EDSA grew over the course of a few days through
text brigades. 
3. Million People March.This is a series pf protest that mainly took place in Luneta Park from
august 22 to 26, 2013. There were also several demonstrations that happened around key cities
in the Philippines and some location overseas. The organizers and promoters of the Million
People March used Facebook and Change.org as their, mediums.
4. Yolanda People Finder.Recent storms in Philippines history gave birth to the People finder
database powered by Google. During typhoon Yolanda, the people finder was a vital tool for
people across the globe to track the situation of their relatives. This proved to be successful and
is now adapted by more organizations to help people track relatives during calamities.
Change.org
     Change.org is dubbed as the “world’s platform for change” where anyone from the online
community can create a petition and ask others to sign in it. During the past times petitions are only
done through signing a paper, usually done by a group asking for signatures via
travel. Change.org gives access to more people by allowing the online community to affix their
digital signatures on petition.
Signing an Online Petition
1. VisitChange.org
2. Change.org works this way. If this is your first time to use Change.org, click Sign up or log in
with Facebook. Otherwise, just input your log in details.
3. You can then start your own petition, but for now click on any petition you want under tending
petitions.
4. Read the petitions description to see if this petition matters to you. If it is, sign the petition by
filling up the information on the right side of the screen.
5. Share the petition on Facebook to promote it.
     Alternatively, you can check out petitions of your friends on Facebook, and then click on those
petitions to read about it and sign it.
 LESSON 12: ICT Project for Social
Change

Before starting your project, your group should be able to do the necessary paperwork. This allows
experts to see if your project is doable over the time frame that was given and if it is significant
enough to be made into reality.

Five elements of a concept paper

1.Introduction-includes tour group’s mission and vision and a brief introduction of your project.
2.Purpose-includes the reasons why this project is worth your group and your sponsor’s time,
effort and money.
3.Description-includes all the necessary information about the project. In ICT, it involves the sites
you are going to produce and the purpose of each and how they work in unison.
4.Support-contains the budget needed for the project. Some concept papers do not specify any
amount requested from the sponsor.
5.Contact information-includes information on how the group be contacted.
Simplified ICT Project Process Overview
1.Planning-Involves the following task (but not limited to):
1. Conceptualizing your project project
2. Researching on available data about your topic
3. Setting deadlines and meetings
4. Assigning people to various tasks
5. Finding a web or blog host
6. Creating a site map for tour website
7. Listing down all applications, that you need including web apps
8. Funding (If applicable)
2.Development-involves the actual creation of the website(s), involves the production of images,
infographics, etc.
3.Release and Promotion-involves the actual release of the website for public view and promoting
it. Promotion typically starts before the actual release.
4.Maintenance-involves responding to feedback of your site visitors and continuing to improve
your website.
 LESSON 13: ICT Project

Monitoring Site Statistics on Different Platforms

1. WordPress
Once you log in to your WordPress account, you are on the Reader tab by default. Simply click
on My Sites and from there you will see the statistics for your blog.
2. Facebook
 In your Facebook page, a summary of the statistics will appear on the right side of your cover
photo: Hovering your mouse pointer over “Post Reach” will give you more insights on which
recent post reached the most people: Clicking on the Insights tab will give more in-depth statistics:
1. Overview– contains the summary of statistics about your page
Definition of terms on your Facebook statistics:

Reach: Organic – your posts seen through the page’s wall, shares by users, and the news feed
Reach: Paid – your posts seen through paid ads
Post Clicks – number of clicks done to your posts
Likes, Comments, and Shares – actual interaction done by your audience either through liking the
post, commenting on it, or sharing it on their walls.
1. Likes– contains the statistics about the trend of page likes
2. Reach– contains information about the number of people who was reached by your post
3. Visits– contains data of the number of times your page tabs (like the Timeline) are visited
4. Post– contains data showing when (day and time) you site visitors visit your site
5. People– contains statistics about your audience’s demographics (age, location, gender,
language, and country). It is also includes demographics about the people you have reached and
engaged with.
Demographics  refers to the statistics characterizing human population usually divided by age,
gender, income, location, and language.

LESSON 14: ICT Project

Maintenance
Creating online surveys feedbacks forms.
The Internet will give you a lot of options in gathering your audience’s feedback. The only
difference that you and your group may notice is how these services are presented. Some of them,
because they are free to use, may have too many ads or some features are lacking. In any case, it’s
your group’s choice which of these services is t cumbersome to reach your objective.
Google offers one of the easiest ways to gather user’s feedback. Google forms allow your audience
to answer a set of questions you have set. These can be used for surveys, feedback, online
registrations, and customer care support.

4. You will be taken to Google Form’s interface:

Next is !
Lets move on to !
6. Once you are done editing the question, click Done.
7. To add a new question or item, click on Add Item, clicking on the drop down arrow at the right
side of the Add Item button will bring up other options for layout:
a. Section Header – adds a header for a specific a part of your survey.
b. Page break- adds a page break which means that the items at the button of the page will be added
to the next page: necessarily if your survey is too long.
c. Image- adds an image to your survey
d. Video- adds a video to your survey

iii. Multiple Choice – can be answered by only one answer in a set of options

LESSON 15: Disadvantages of ICT

Cybercrimes are illegal acts done through the use of the internet. People all over the world use the
Internet to commit a host of crimes, some of which the public doesn’t even know are capable of
being done electronically.

1. Phishing and Spoofing

Spoofing attack is when a malicious party impersonates another device or user on a network in

order to launch attacks against network hosts, steal data, spread malware or bypass access controls.
There are several different types of spoofing attacks that malicious parties can use to accomplish
this.
Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit
card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money), often for malicious reasons, by masquerading as a
trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
2. Blackmail/Extortion                                          

Extortion (also called blackmail, shakedown, out wresting, and exaction) is a criminal offence of

unlawfully obtaining money, property, or services from a person, entity, or institution, through
coercion. Refraining from doing harm is sometimes euphemistically called protection. Using the
Internet to threaten to cause damage with the intent to extort from any person any money or other
thing of value.

popular AlDub tandem and posted links and messages on the account

item.
6. Electronic/ Cyber Harassment
Cyber harassment refers to online harassment. Cyber harassment or bullying is the use of email,
instant messaging, and derogatory websites to bully or otherwise harass an individual or group

rooms, sending of offensive or cruel e-mail, or even harassing others by posting on blogs or social

of cyber harassment remains anonymous while threatening others online. This usually applies to
school-age children.
