UNIT 1 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.

Ex. 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.

CLOUD COMPUTING

5. Cloud computing- distributed computing on internet or delivery of computing service over

the internet.

e.g. Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail

-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.
UNIT 1 LESSON 2: ONLINE SAFETY, SECURITY AND RULES OF NETIQUETTE

Keyword searching

Enter terms to search

Use quotation marks to search as a phrase and keep the words linked together

Common words are ignored (That, to, which, a, the ...)

+ and – can be used to include or exclude a word

Boolean

AND - enter words connect with AND- it will include sites where both words and found

Uses: joining different topics (i.e. global warming AND California)

OR - requires at least one of the terms is found.

Uses: join similar or synonymous topics (i.e. global warming OR greenhouse effect)

NOT - searches for the first term and excludes sites that have the second term.

(i.e. Washington NOT school)

Question

A question may be entered in the search field of search

engine Advanced

Features are offered on many engines by going to an "Advanced search" page and making selections.
Effective in narrowing search returns to a specific topic or phrase.

professional tracks
IMAGING & 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 IMAGES are stored in a computer in the form of a grid of picture elements or pixels.
2. VECTOR IMAGES such 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 IMAGES use 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

JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images
produced by a digital photography.
PNG (PORTABLE NETWORK GRAPHICS) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data
compression.
GIF a lossless format for image files that supports both animated and static images.
BMP is a raster graphics image used to store bitmap digital images
EPS used in vector-based images in Adobe Illustrator.
SVG is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics w/ support for interactivity and
animation

3ds- is one of the file formats used by the Autodesk 3Ds Max 3D Modelling, animation and rendering
software.
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

MARQUEE TOOL for selecting rectangular or other regular polygon-shaped regions

LASSO TOOL for freehand selection of a region

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.

PROJECT 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.

TYPES OF INFOGRAPHICS
1. Statistical

2. Process Flow

3. Geographic

PROCESS OF MAKING INFOGRAPHICS

1. Research
a) Know what is needed
b) Take a reference
c) Know the audience
d) Decide the type of infographics

2. Brainstorm
a) Gather ideas
b) Build thought process
3. Design
a) Choose your tool and start designing
4. Review

BEST PRACTICES WHEN CREATING INFOGRAPHICS

a) Maintain a structure
b) Don’t use more than 3 color palletes
c) Typography matters a lot
d) Include source and references
UNIT 2 Lesson 7: Integrating ICT content through collaboration with classmate and teacher as both
peer and partner

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF WEB GRAPHICS AND LAY-OUT

 BALANCE- The visual weight of objects, textures, colors, and space is evenly distributed on the
screen.
 EMPHASIS - An area in the design that may appear different in size, texture, shape or color to
attract the viewer's attention.
 MOVEMENT - Visual elements guide the viewer's eyes around the screen.
 PATTERN AND REPETITION - These are the repeating visual element on an image or lay-out to
create unity in the lay-out or image.
 RHYTHM - is achieved when visual elements create a sense of organized movement.
 PROPORTION - Visual elements create a sense of unity where they relate well with one another.
 VARIETY - This uses several design elements to draw a viewer's attention.

BLOGGING ETHICS

 ACCOUNTABILITY - Authors must be accountable on whatever they write on their blogs.

Accountability means holding responsibilities to high standards of performance, the goal is to
produce the best content with our readers' interest in mind. They are, after all, the only reason
we write.
 ACCURACY - As a content creator, educator, news relayed, information slayer, your job as a
blogger is to give your readers the most accurate information - identifying your sources,
checking facts, never sacrificing accuracy and fairness for the sake of a "good" study. This
includes citing and attributing everything you've used, read and referenced when writing a post.
 INDEPENDENCE - means freedom from outside control or support, a blogger can write anything
he or she wants to share without having someone saying he/she must do.
 TONE - bloggers must write with their intended audience in mind. The key to successful blogging
is alignment of interests between writer and reader. It's that sweet spot where what's good for
your readers matches what's good for you. Don't focus on having a great blog. Focus on
producing a blog that's great for your readers.

UNIT 3 Lesson 9: ICTs as platform for change

Web Portal- A web portal is a website that contains information from different sources
and places them in a one location in a uniform way. An example of a web portal is Google.

Top 10 Web Portals

MySpace
Baidu
Wikipedia
Blogger
MSN
Facebook
Youtube
Yahoo
Google

Portlet- Interactive elements that gives information to the user.

Online Collaboration- Simply put, online collaboration lets a group of people work together in real-time
over the internet

Web Conference- provides live audio/video communication between two or more locations to conduct
meetings, training, or presentations via the Internet.

The difference between Online Collaboration and Web conference is that Online collaboration is sharing
information to each other to come with a way to achieve the groups goal. While in Web Conference is
more like a meeting to discuss about a certain topic.

Encryption- additional layer of security that makes content unreadable for people with malicious
intent.

SSL( Secure Socket Layer )- is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link
between a web server and a browser.

UNIT 4 Lesson 11-ICT as a Platform for Change (Summary)

ICT as a platform for social change came into effect in some of the following events in the Philippines:

 EDSA People Power Revolution (22-25 February 1986) - The People Power Revolution lasted
from 1983 to 1986. During a radio broadcast of Radyo Veritas, Cardinal Sin encouraged the
Filipinos to help end the regime of (then) President Ferdinand Marcos. A major protest took
place along EDSA from 22-25 February 1986, involving two million Filipinos from different
sectors.

 Million People March (22-26 Aug 2013) - This is a series of protests that mainly took place in
Luneta Park. There were also several demonstrations that happened around key cities in the
Philippines and some overseas locations. This protest was to condemn the misuse of the Priority
Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). Though it was dubbed as the "Million People March", the
number of total attendees were only around 400,000. Social Media was used as a means of
spreading campaigns/goals intended to be achieved in this protest.

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 it.

Change.org's mission is to help people from around the world to create the change they want to see. For
years, Change.org hosted several petitions that help solve the following problems: economic problems,
criminal injustice,. abuse of human rights, animal rights protection, and so on.
