Information and Communication Technologies Websites

(ICT)
- It deals with the use of different communication
technologies such as mobile phones, telephones,
internet to locate, save, send and edit
information.
ICT in the Philippines
- 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.

- Philippines is dub as the “ICT Hub of Asia”

because of huge growth of ICT-related jobs, one
of which is BPO, Business Process.
- 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.

Internet
Web Browser
- Is the global system of interconnected computer
networks that use the Internet protocol suite - It displays a web page on a monitor or mobile
(TCP/IP) to link billions of devices worldwide. device.
- Means of connecting a computer to any other - Is a software application for retrieving,
computer anywhere in the world via dedicated presenting, and traversing information resources
routers and servers. on the World Wide Web.
- 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. Static Web Pages
- Is an information space where documents and
other web resources are identified by URLs, - Static is Web 1.0
interlinked by hypertext links, and can be - Dynamic is Web 2.0, 3.0
accessed via the internet. - Static web page is known as flat page or
- Invented by Tim-Berners Lee stationary page in the sense that the page is “as
is” and cannot be manipulated by the user.
Web Pages - The content is also the same for all users that is
referred to as Web 1.0
- Web page is a hypertext document connected to
the World Wide Web. Dynamic Web Pages
- It is a document that is suitable for the World
Wide Web.
- 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
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 hastag.
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 machines or
servers understand the user’s preferences to be
able to deliver web content specifically targeting
the user.

4. Perform logical operations. A computer can be
of great help in solving complex problems that
require a certain decision. It can logically
manipulate data using logical operators (<,>,+,-
,*,/).
5. Communicates with other users or with the
machine. A computer can actually instruct the
user how to debug his work. A certain message
is shown on the screen when the user commits
an error and doesn’t know what to do. Debug-
find and remove errors from something.
