 Introduction
- The internet is a global wide area network that
connects interconnected computer systems all
over the world.

- The internet has become an important

platform for accessing a vast array of
information
Internet as a Computer Network
The term "Internet" was first coined
as a result of a project led by Vinton
Cerf and Robert Kahn, which looked
for ways to address the issue of
incompatible networks, which are
computer networks connected
together for communication
purposes.
Internet Service Provider (ISP)

They are businesses that offer

internet access to people,
organizations, and other
businesses. Since not everyone
has direct Internet access, their
service is important.
Modem

Connects the internet to your local

network or the computers you've
connected for contact or file sharing.
Switch & Ethernet Cable
When you have many other
devices such as computers that
need to be linked through a
cabled link, an Ethernet switch
is necessary.
 Router
A system that transfers data to its
intended destination. It examines a
data packet's destination IP address
(just like our home address),
determines the best path for it to take
to its destination, and then forwards it
accordingly.
 Ethernet Cable
It can be used to connect a single
device (such as a computer)
directly from the modem, to
connect the modem and the router,
and most importantly, to connect
several devices in the network
through an Ethernet switch.
 ISP (Internet Service Provider)
They are businesses that offer
internet access to people,
organizations, and other businesses.
Since not everyone has direct
internet access, their service is
important, Globe, PLDT, and
SkyCable, and well-known ISP’s in
the Philippines.
 World Wide Web (www)
The web is a framework that
makes it easier to find web
resources using the (Uniform
Resource Locator (URL). When
we use our Search Engines to
look for something, we get
details from the Web.
Search Engine
A search engine is a mechanism that allows
users to enter keywords or characters as a
search key, and it then searches for and finds
objects in a database that match those
keywords or characters.

Samples: Google, Yahoo, Bing,

Ask DuckDuckGo
Search Engine

Search engines have a variety

of appearances, but they all
serve the same purpose.
Microsoft Bing

including web, video, image and map search
products.
Yahoo
is an Internet portal that incorporates a search
engine and a directory of World Wide Web
sites organized in a hierarchy of topic
categories that provides both new and seasoned
Web users the reassurance of a structured view
of hundreds of thousands of Web sites and
millions of Web pages.
DuckDuck Go
-an internet search engine that
emphasizes protecting
searchers' privacy and avoiding
the filter bubble of personalized
search results.
- DuckDuckGo does not show search
results from content farms.
Ask
-to allow users to get answers to
questions in everyday, natural
language, and traditional keyword
searching.
-Ask Jeeves doesn’t offer an Add URL
page, like human-powered directories
such as Yahoo, Look Smart and the
Open Directory.
Filtering of Search Engine Results

Filtering Mechanism

filtering data. You just need to go to
the settings menu or icon and look for
the search setting.

search key
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO is the method of using

non-paid (also known as
"organic") search engine results
to increase the frequency and
quantity of website traffic as
well as brand visibility.
Reliability of Internet Contents
You'll need to learn to evaluate the
reliability of the sources you use in
your analysis. Don't be misled into
thinking that since something is on
the Internet, it must be real. As a
general rule, don't believe anything
you read right away.
Criteria for Evaluating
Content
1. Authority
2. Currency
3. Accuracy
4. Objectivity
5. Usability
6. Appropriateness
 AUTHORITY
This factor refers to the reliability and credibility of
the source or the one who created the contents.
• Who is the author?
• What are the author's qualifications?
• Is the author or source affiliated with a
reputable organization?
• Are contact details of the author provided?
 CURRENCY
This consideration has to do with
the content's timeliness, or how
recent it is. It is important that the
contents are not out of date or they
will lose their significance.
 ACCURACY
This factor has something to do with the veracity
or the conformity to facts of the content.
• Are sources properly cited?
• Is it based on science or statistics?
• Does it conform to any prior knowledge?
• Is it dependable?
• Is it free from error?
• Is the information comprehensive?
 OBJECTIVITY
This consideration has much to do with the content's
objectivity. It's important to note that writers have
biases and prejudices, which can influence the content.
• Is the information presented with a particular
bias?
• Does site advertising conflict with the content?
• Is any information purposely omitted?
 USABILITY
This factor refers to user friendliness and how easily
the site allows you to retrieve information.
• Is it easy to find, read, and use the information?
• Is the information logically and clearly
organized?
• Are navigation buttons consistent?
 APPROPRIATENESS
This consideration has much
to do with the content's
consistency with the site's
ultimate goal.
 SAY NO TO FAKE NEWS
"False stories that tend to be
news, distributed on the internet
or by other media, typically
produced to sway political
opinions or as a joke,"
according to Cambridge
dictionary
In this digital age, the issue of fake news is
becoming more severe. People are also frustrated by
the vast amount of knowledge available, making it
difficult to distinguish between what is real and what
is not. Worse, the unverified information is being
spread on social media, compounding the issue.
As a general rule, be cautious about what you post or
share online, especially on social media. Be sure to
read the whole post, not just the title or the headline,
and then double-check the material by looking up the
sources, comparing it to other pages, and deciding
whether or not it's worth sharing.
