III. Content Discussion

Lesson 1- Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) deals with the use of different communication technologies
such as Mobile Phone, Telephones, and Internet to locate, save, save, and edit information.

World Wide Web

The World Wide Web, commonly referred to as WWW, W3, or simply the Web is an interconnected system of
public webpages accessible through the Internet. It was invented Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.
Web pages are what make up the world wide web and it can either be static or dynamic.

Web 1.0
Web 1.0 is a flat page or stationary page (Static) in the sense that the page is “as is” and cannot be manipulated
by the user.

Figure 1https://flatworldbusiness.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/dia84.jpg

Web 2.0
• Web 2.0 is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic web pages. Examples of Web 2.0 include social
networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, and web applications.
• The user can see a website differently than others.
• Allows users to interact with the page
• The user may be able to comment or create a user account.
• Allows users to use web browsers instead of just using their operating system.
• Browsers can now be used for their user interface, application software, and even for file storage.

Features of Web 2.0

o Folksonomy - It allows users to categorize and classify/ arrange information using freely chosen keywords
(e.g., tagging). Uses tags that start with the pound sign (#) which is referred as hashtag.
o Rich User Experience - Content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input.. In the case of social networking
sites, when logged on, your account is used to modify what you see in their website.

SQNHS -SHS_HANDOUTS_SY2021 IstSem Page | 2

 o User Participation - The owner of the website is not the only one who is able to put content. Others can also
place a content of their own by means of comment, reviews, and evaluation. Some websites allow readers to
comment on an article, participate in a poll, or review a specific product (e.g., Amazon.com, online stores).
o Software as a Service - Users will subscribe to a software only when needed rather than purchasing them. This
is a cheaper option if you do not always need to use a software. For instance, Google Docs is a free web-based
application that allows the user to create and edit word processing and spreadsheet documents online. When
you need a software, like a Word Processor, you can purchase it for a one-time huge amount and install it in
your computer and it is yours forever. Software as a service allows you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
o Mass Participation - It is a diverse information sharing through universal web access. Since most users can
use the Internet, Web 2.0’s content is based on people from various cultures.

Figure 2https://flatworldbusiness.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/dia84.jpg

Web 3.0
• It is also called as Semantic Web
• Semantics – ability of Web technologies to understand and interpret human-generated content
• The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines understand the user’s preferences to be able to deliver web content
specifically targeting the user.
• The Internet is able to predict the best possible answers to your question by “learning from your previous
choices.

Several Problems in Web 3.0

1. Compatibility
HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web 3.0.
2. Security
The user’s security is also in question since the machine is saving his or her preferences.
3. Vastness
The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
4. Vagueness
Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small” would depend on the user.
5. 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.

TRENDS in ICT
1. Convergence
Technological convergence is the synergy of technological advancements to work on a similar goal or
task.
2. Social Media
Social media is a website, application, or online channels that enable web users to create, co-create,
discuss, modify, and exchange user-generated content.
Types of Social Media
a. Social Networks. These are sites that allow you to connect with other people with the same interests or
background.

e. Microblogging. These are sites that focus on short updates from the user.
f. Blogs and Forums. These websites allow users to post their content.
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 tasks that were originally found in personal computers.

Different types of mobile operating systems:

a. iOS – used in Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad
b. Android – an open source operating system developed by Google. Being open source means several
mobile phone companies use this OS for free.
c. Blackberry OS – used in blackberry devices
d. Windows Phone OS – a closed source and proprietary operating system developed by Microsoft
e. Symbian – the original smartphone OS used by Nokia devices
f. WebOS – originally used for smartphones; now used for smartTVs
g. Windows Mobile – developed by Microsoft for smartphones and pocket PCs.

4. Assistive Media
Assistive media is a nonprofit service designed to help people who have visual and reading impairments.
A database of audio recordings is used to read to the user.

Lesson 2- Online Safety, Security, Ethics, and Etiquette

Online Safety, Security
The Internet, truly, is a powerful tool. It can be used to promote your business, gain new friends, and stay in
touch with the old ones. It is also a source of entertainment. But like most things in this world, there is always “another
side of the coin.” The Internet is one of the most dangerous places, especially if you do not know what you are doing.

TYPES of INFORMATION RISKS

First Name Risky cause hackers may already know plenty of stuff about you.
Last Name Small Risk: because there are too many similar last name in the world wide web
Middle Name Not the riskiest, sharing your full name would be.
Current and Previous School Risky for a stolen identity
Cellphone Number Risky for some reason; Random strangers to text or call you; Pretend they are
someone else
Name of Your Mother and Father Risky, yet not risky cause mother’s maiden name usually used for security
question
Name of Your Siblings A huge risk: may pretend to use their identity to dupe you
Address Risky for some criminals may easier to find you
Home Phone Number Riskier than sharing your personal number. Scam may usually use this to
deceive you.
Birthday You may post it to have as much as gift as possible nut having it in your profile
makes you vulnerable to theft.

Tips to Stay Safe Online

The Internet is a public place and it is up to you to protect yourself. Here are some tips to help you stay safe
when using the internet.
1. Be mindful of what you share online and what site you share it to.
2. Do not just accept terms and conditions; read it.
3. Know the security features of the social networking site you use. By keeping your profile private, search engines
will not be able to scan your profile.
4. Do not share your password with anyone.
5. Avoid logging in to public networks/Wi-Fi. Browsing in “incognito (or private) mode will NOT protect you
from hackers.
6. Do not talk to strangers whether online or face-to-face/
7. Never post anything about a future vacation. It is similar to posting, “Rob my house at this date.”
8. Add friends you know in real life.
9. Avoid visiting untrusted websites.

SQNHS -SHS_HANDOUTS_SY2021 IstSem Page | 5

 10. Install and update an antivirus software on your computer. Use only one anti-virus software to avoid conflicts.
11. If you have Wi-Fi at home, make it private network by adding a password.
12. Avoid downloading anything from untrusted websites.
13. But the software, do not use pirated ones.
14. Do not reply or click links from suspicious emails.
15. Make Online Purchases from Secure Sites

INTERNET THREATS
Here are some of the threats you should be aware of when using the Internet:
1. Malware – or malicious software, is any program or file that is harmful to a computer user.
Types of Malware:
a. Virus - designed to replicate itself and transfer from one computer to another. (internet, local networks,
FDs, CDs, etc.)
b. Worm - a program that transfers from one computer to another by any type of means.
c. Trojan - a program disguised as a useful program. Rogue Security Software tricks the user that it is a
security software.
d. Spyware - a program that runs in the background without you knowing it (thus called “spy”). It has the
ability to monitor what you are currently doing and typing through keylogging. Keylogger is used to
record the keystroke done by the user.
e. Adware - a program designed to send you advertisements, mostly as pop-ups.
f. Ransomware - or ransom software is a type of malicious software from crypto virology that threatens
to publish the victim's data or perpetually block access to it unless a ransom is paid.
2. Spam - an unwanted email mostly from bots or advertisers. It can be used to send malware.
3. Phishing - its goal is to acquire sensitive personal information like passwords and credit card details. This is done
by sending you an e-mail that will direct the user to visit a fake website and be asked to update his/her username,
password, credit card or personal information. Pharming a more complicated ay of Phishing where it exploits the
DNS system.

ACTIVITY 2.1
WORD BANK EXPLORATION. Find the following information you have shared online (FACEBOOK).
Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper and answer the following questions below.

Middle Name First Name Last Name Mothers Name

Address Fathers Name Name of your Siblings Birthday
cellphone number Home Phone number Boyfriend Vacation

• How many information you have shared?

• So how did these things happen?
• From the listed shared information shared, Rate how risky you are online. 1 is the safest and 5 as riskiest and
explain why.

ACTIVITY 2.2
Share an experience that you often do but later you discover that it is not a standard of ONLINE SAFETY,
SECURITY, ETHICS, AND ETIQUETTE. Use a separate sheet of paper for your answer.

 Lesson 3- Contextualized Online Search and Research Skills

Online Research
Online research is the process of interactively searching for and retrieving requested information via a computer
from databases that are online.

Advantages:
• Ability to obtain a large sample, which increases statistical power.
• Data is automatically coded so no data entry errors
• Reduced cost of conducting research

Disadvantages:
• Online is not totally secure and theft is one of the numerous dangers it poses, researchers’ personal
information is at risk of being access by rogue persons.
• Some of the materials on the internet have not been evaluated by experts or thoroughly screened
• Lack of accreditation and low quality

Search Engines
A Web Search Engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web.
The information may be a mix of web pages, images, and other types of files.

Copyright issues
Everyone has a somewhat flexible, but not unlimited, copyright privilege under the "fair use clause" of the U.S.
Copyright Act.

Fair use
Fair use is how educators of non-profit educational institutions may use copyrighted works without seeking
permission or making payment to the author or publisher.

Copyright Infringement
If you create something - an idea, an invention, a form of literary work, or a research, you have the right of how
it should be used by others. This is called intellectual property.

Copyrightable works include the following categories:

• literary works
• musical works, including any accompanying words
• dramatic works, including any accompanying music, pantomimes, and choreographic works
• pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works
• motion pictures and other audiovisual works
• sound recordings
• architectural works

THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK

1. Before you post something on the web, ask these questions to yourself: Would you want your parents or
grandparents to see it? Would you want your future boss to see it? Once you post something on the web, you
have no control of who sees your posts.
2. Your friends depend on you to protect their reputation online. Talk to your friends about this serious
responsibility.
3. Set your post to “private.” In this way, search engines will not be able to scan that post.
4. Avoid using names. Names are easy for search engines to scan.

SQNHS -SHS_HANDOUTS_SY2021 IstSem Page | 7

 5. If you feel that a post can affect you or other’s reputation, ask the one who posted it to pull it down or report it
as inappropriate.

ACTIVITY 3
CREATING: Create a simple infographic about THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK. Use this rubric as a guide when
making your infographics. Use any materials you have in your house (i.e. bond papers, magazines, posters, etc.).
