 Notes to the Teacher
This module aims to prepare the students to be knowledgeable
in ICT in the context of global communication in our society’s
new normal state. It also empowers the students to be literate
on how to use digital tools without compromising their private
information.

What’s New

Make a video call to your teacher. First, make sure that your calling device
has already a video call app installed in it. Second, you need to have an internet
access. Connection to the internet can come from Wi-Fi or cellular data. Your calling
device can be a cellular phone, tablet or a computer with a front camera since you
are going to make a video call. Video call app can be Facebook Messenger, Viber,
Facetime, Skype, Hangout or Whatsapp. It should be the same app use by the
person that you intend to call. Facetime is best for iPhones or iOS devices, unlike
other video call apps that can be run in Android devices.

What is It

ICT refers to technologies that provide access to information through

telecommunications. It focuses primarily on communication technologies. This
includes the internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication
mediums (Christensson 2010). Add the computer and network hardware and
software, satellite systems, as well as the various services and applications
associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning. With the
rapid growth in our technology, communication now became global where you can
communicate to other people anytime or anywhere as long as you have an internet
connection and a device.

Computer is an electronic device that can accept raw data as input,

manipulate or process it to produce output. Computer system is consists of

7
hardware, software, and peopleware. Hardware refers to the tangible component of
the computer system. This can be monitor, keyboard, mouse, webcam, USB flash
drive, speaker, headset, microphone, or printer. Software refers to the intangible
part of the computer system. This can be the Microsoft Office Application like MS
Word, MS PowerPoint or MS Excel or other applications used to produce output.
Peopleware is the user, in which, if either one of the three components is missing,
the entire computer system will not function.

Online platform is defined as a digital service that facilitates interactions

between two or more distinct but interdependent sets of users (whether firms or
individuals) who interact through the service via the Internet (OECD 2019). ICT is
one of the online platforms in the market. Others are Collaborative platforms which
“is a category of business software that adds broad social networking capabilities to
work processes.” Assistive Media which is a component under Assistive technology
(AT), which is a generic term used to refer to a group of software or hardware devices
by which people with disabilities can access computers. Online systems are online
versions of information systems, which is “the process of and tools for storing,
managing, using, and gathering of data and communications in an organization. One
example of this is the Learning Information System (LIS) where the records of
students are stored, gathered and managed for easy process and retrieval.

Mobile Media - This refers to “media devices such as mobile phones and PDA’s
were the primary source of portable media from which we could obtain information
and communicate with one another. And leading in the market now is smart phone.
But each mobile device will not function if it does not have an Operating System in
it.

Android – powers Symbian OS – Blackberry OS – powers iOS-powers the iPhone, iPad,

Samsung and powers Samsung and other Android and iPod Touch
other Android Samsung and phones
phones other Android
