LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION TO ICT
ICT3 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 89ICT 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 country9s information and communications technology (ICT) agenda in support of national
development.

Computer3 an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to
instructions given to it in a variable program.
Internet3 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 89the Net99, 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 identiûed by URLs,
interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet.
Invented by Tim-Berners Lee
Web Pages
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

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 3 refers to the ûrst stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely made up of the Web
pages connected by hyperlinks.
2. Web 2.0 3 is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic pages. The user is able to see a website
differently than others.
3 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 3 this platform is all about semantic web.
3 Aims to have machines (or servers) understand the user9s preferences to be able to deliver web
content.
Static Web Page- is known as a üat page or stationary age in the sense that the page is 89as is99 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 Pages3 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, Twi er, use tags that start with the sign #, referred to as hashtag.
2. Rich User Experience – content is dynamic and is responsive to user9s 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 Tail3 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 Participation3 diverse information sharing through universal web access. Web 2.09s content is
based on people from various cultures.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

TRENDS IN ICT
1. Convergence3 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 Media3 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 3 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 proûle, add people, share
content, etc
Example: Facebook and Google+
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

b)Bookmarking Sites 3 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.
Stumble Upon, Pinterest
c) Social News 3 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
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

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. Twi er 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
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

3. Mobile Technologies3 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 3 use in apple devices such as iPhone and iPad
Android 3 an open source OS developed by Google. Being open source means mobile phone
companies use this OS for free.
Blackberry OS 3 use in blackberry devices
Windows phone OS 3 A closed source and proprietary operating system developed by Microsoft.
Symbian 3 the original smartphone OS. Used by Nokia devices
WebOS- originally used in smartphone; now in smart TVs.
Windows Mobile 3 developed by Microsoft for smartphones and pocket PCs
4. Assistive Media3 is a non- proût service designed to help people who have visual and
reading impairments. A database of audio recordings is used to read to the user.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

5. e.g. Yahoo!, Gmail, HotmailCloud computing-distributed computing on internet or delivery of
computing service over the internet.
-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 doesn9t exist
on your computer 3 it9s on the service9s computer cloud.
It has three components
1. Client computers 3 clients are the device that the end user interact with cloud.
2. Distributed Servers 3 Often servers are in geographically diﬀerent places, but server acts as if they
are working next to each other.
3. Datacenters 3 It is collection of servers where application is placed and is accessed via Internet.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

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.

LESSON 3: Advanced Word Processing Skills
Lesson Discussion
In the professional world, sending out information to convey important information is vital. Because of
ICT, things are now sent much faster than the traditional newsle ers or postal mail. You can now send
much faster than the traditional newsle ers or postal mail. You can now use the Internet to send out
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

information you need to share. What if we could still do things much faster 3 an automated way of
creating and sending uniform le ers with diﬀerent recipients? Would that not be more convenient?
I. Mail Merge and Label Generation
A. Mail Merge
One of the important reasons in using computers per se is its ability to do recurring tasks
automatically. But this ability has to be honed by learning the characteristics and features of the software
you use with your computer. After all, no ma er how good or advance your computer and software
may be, it can only be as good as the person using it.
In this particular part of our lesson, we will learn one of the most powerful and commonly used
features of Microsoft Word called Mail Merge. As the name suggests, this feature allows you to create
documents and combine or merge them with another document or data ûle. It is commonly used when
sending out advertising materials to various recipients.
The simplest solution for the scenario above is to create a document and just copy and paste it
several times then just replace the details depending on whom you send it to. But what if you have
hundreds or thousands of recipients? Would not that take too many hours? What if you have a small
database of information where you can automatically generate those le ers?
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

Two Components of Mail Merge
1. Form Document
The ûrst component of our mail merged document is the form document. It is generally the
document that contains the main body of the message we want to convey or send. The main body of the
message is the part of the form document that remains the same no ma er whom you send it to from
among your list.
Also included in the form document is what we call place holders, also referred to as data ûelds or
merge ûelds. This marks the position on your form document where individual data or information will
be inserted. From our sample document, the place holders are denoted or marked by the text with
double-headed arrows (<< >>) on each side and with a gray background. On a printed standard form,
this will be the underlined spaces that you will see and use as a guide to where you need to write the
information that you need to ûll out. In its simplest form, a form document is literally a <form= that you
ûll out with individual information. A common example of a form document is your regular tax form or
application form.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

2. List or Data File
The second component of our mail merged document is the list or data ûle. This is where the
individual information or data that needs to be plugged in (merged) to the form document is placed and
maintained. One of the best things about the mail merge feature is that it allows data ûle to be created
fro within the Microsoft Word application itself, or it gets data from a ûle created in Microsoft Excel or
other data formats. In this way, ûelds that needed to be ûlled up on the form document can easily be
maintained without accidentally altering the form or main document. You can also easily add, remove,
modify, or extract your data more eﬃciently by using other data management applications like Excel or
Access and import them in Word during the mail merge process.
B. Label Generation
Included in the mail merge feature on Microsoft Word is the Label Generator. It just makes sense
that after you print out your form le ers, you will need to send it to individual recipients in an envelope
with the matching address printed directly on the envelope or on a mailing label to stick on. By using
virtually the same process as a standard mail merge, Microsoft Word will print individual addresses to a
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

standard form that it has already pre-forma ed. Simply put, it creates a blank form document that
simulates either a blank label or envelope of pre-deûned size and will use the data ûle that you selected
to print the information, typically individual addresses. So even in generating labels, the two essential
components of creating a merged document are present: the form document and the data ûle. Only in
this case, you did not have to type or create the form document yourself because it was already created
and pre-forma ed in Microsoft Word. All you need to do is select the correct or appropriate size for the
label or envelope and select the data ûle that contains the addresses (data) to be printed. You can also
preview your merged labels before printing if you want to.
II. Integrating Images and External Materials
Integrating or inserting pictures in your document is fun and it improves the impression of your
document. A common use of inserting a picture on a document is when you are creating your resume.
Though seemingly simple to do, your knowledge on the different kinds of materials that you can insert
or integrate in a Word document and its characteristics can help you create a more efficient, richer
document not only in content but also in physical form. A be er understanding of the physical form of
your document as well as the different materials you would integrate in it would allow you to be more
efficient and versatile in using Microsoft Word.
A. Kinds of Materials
There are various kinds of materials Microsoft Word is capable of integrating to make the
documents richer, more impressive, and more informative.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

1. Pictures
Generally, these are electronic or digital pictures or photographs you have saved in any local
storage device. There are three commonly used types of picture ûles. You can identify them by the
extension on their ûle names.
a. .JPG/JPEG
This is pronounced as <jay-peg< and is the short form of .jpeg or Joint Photographic Experts
Group. Like all the rest of the image ûle extensions, it identiûes the kind of data compression process
that it uses to make it more compatible and portable through the Internet. This type of image ûle can
support 16.7 million colors that is why it is suitable for use when working with full color photographic
images. Unfortunately, it does not support transparency and therefore, images of this ûle type can be
diﬃcult to integrate in terms of blending with other materials or elements in your document. But if you
are looking for the best quality image to integrate with your document then this is the image ûle type for
you. .JPG does not work well on le ering, line drawings, or simple graphics. .JPG images are relatively
small in ûle size.
b. .GIF
This stands for Graphics Interchange Format. This type of image ûle is capable of displaying
transparencies. Therefore, it is good for blending with other materials or elements in your document. It
is also capable of displaying simple animation. Apparently, this may not be too useful on a printed
document but if you are sending documents electronically or through email, or even post documents
into a website, then this could be quite impressive. The downside is that it can only support up to 256
colors so it is good mostly on logos and art decors with very limited, and generally solid colors. .GIF is
much be er for logos, drawings, small text, black and white images, or low-resolution ûles.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

Example of a .gif format picture.
c. .PNG
This is pronounced as <ping<. It stands for Portable Network Graphics. It was built around the
capabilities of .GIF. Its development was basically for the purpose of transporting images on the Internet
at faster rates. It is also good with transparencies but unlike .GIFs, it does not support animation but it
can display up to 16 million colors, so image quality for this image ûle type is also remarkably
improved. .PNG allows the control of the transparency level or opacity of images.
Example of .png format picture.
2. Clip Art
This is generally a .GIF type; line art drawings or images used as generic representation for ideas
and objects that you might want to integrate in your document. Microsoft Word has a library of clip arts
that is built in or can be downloaded and used freely. There are still other clip arts that you can either
purchase or freely download and use that come from third-party providers.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

Clip Art Icon in Microsoft Oﬃce 2010.
3. Shapes
These are printable objects or materials that you can integrate in your document to enhance its
appearance or allow you to have some tools to use for composing and representing ideas or messages. If
you are designing the layout for a poster or other graphic material for advertising, you might ûnd this
useful.
Shapes Icon under the Insert ribbon tab.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

4. Smart Art
Generally, these are predeûned sets of diﬀerent shapes grouped together to form ideas that are
organizational or structural in nature. If you want to graphically represent an organization, process,
relationships, or üow for infographic documents, then you will ûnd this easy and handy to use.

Smart Art
5. Chart
Another type of material that you can integrate in your Word document that allows you to represent
data characteristics and trends. This is quite useful when you are preparing reports that correlate and
present data in a graphical manner. You can create charts that can be integrate in your document either
directly in Microsoft Word or imported from external ûles like Microsoft Excel.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

Chart – Used to illustrate and compare data.
6. Screenshot
Sometimes, creating reports or manuals for training or procedures will require the integration of a more
realistic image of what you are discussing on your report or manual. Nothing can get you a more
realistic image than a screenshot. Microsoft Word even provides a snipping tool for your screen shots so
you can select and display only the part that you exactly like to capture on your screen.
III. Image Placement
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

Layout of text wrapping options.
A. In Line with Text
This is the default se ing for images that are inserted or integrated in your document. It treats your
image like a text font with the bo om side totally aligned with the text line. This se ing is usually used
when you need to place your image at the beginning of a paragraph. When placed between texts in a
paragraph or a sentence, it distorts the overall appearance and arrangement of the texts in the paragraph
because it will take up the space it needs vertically, pushing whole lines of texts upward.
B. Square
This se ing allows the image you inserted to be placed anywhere with the paragraph with the text going
around the image in a square pa ern like frame.
C. Tight
This is almost the same as the Square se ing, but here the text <hug= or conforms to the general shape of
the image. This allows you to get a more creative eﬀect on your document. This se ing can mostly be
achieved if you are using an image that supports transparency like a .GIF or .PNG ûle.
D. Through
This se ing allows the text on your document to üow even tighter taking the contours and shape of the
image. Again, this can be best used with .GIF or .PNG type of image.
E. Top and Bo om
This se ing pushes the texts away vertically to the top and/or the bo om of the image so that the image
occupies a whole text line on its own.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

p
F. Behind Text
This allows your image to be dragged and placed anywhere on your document but with all the texts
üoating in front of it. It effectively makes your image look like a background.
G. In Front of Text
As it suggests, this se ing allows your image to be placed right on top of the text as if your image was
dropped right on it. That means whatever part of the text you placed the image on, it will be covered by
the image.

LESSON 5: Advanced Presentation Skills
Powerpoint is a highly innovative and versatile program that can ensure a successful communication
whether you9re presenting in front of potential investors, a lecture theatre or simply in front of your
colleagues. The following are the ûve features you should be using-if youy aren9t already. Learn
everything about these tips: they will improve your presentation skills and allow you to communicate
your message successfully. The ûve features of powerpoint was
1)adding smart art
2)Inserting Shapes
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

3)Inserting and Image
4)Slide Transitions
5)Adding Animations
Creating an Effective Presentation
1. Minimize: Keep slides counts to a minimum to maintain a clear message and to keep the audience
a entive. Remember that the presentation is just a visual aid. Most information should still come from
the reporter.
2.Clarity: Avoid being to fancy by using font style that is easy to read. Make sure that it is also big
enough to be read by the audience. Once you start making your presentation, consider how big the
screen is during your report.
3.Simplicity: Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize the information on the screen to have your
audience focus on what the speaker is saying than on reading the slide. Limit the content to six lines and
seven words per line. This is known as the 6 x 7 rule.
4. Visual: Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many to distract the audience. In
addition, instead of using table of data, use charts and graphs.
5. Consistency: Make your design uniform. Avoid having diﬀerent font styles and backgrounds.
6. Contrast: Use a light font on dark background or vice versa. This is done so that it is easier to read. In
most instances, it is easier to read on screen if the background is dark. This is due to the brightness of the
screen.
LESSON 6: Imaging and Design for Online
Environment
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

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
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

1. RASTER IMAGESare stored in a computer in the form of a grid of picture elements or pixels.
2. VECTOR IMAGESsuch 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 IMAGESuse 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 üexibility. Constructed using mathematical
formulas rather than individual colored blocks, vector ûle 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
Ø JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those
images produced by a digital photography.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

Ø PNG (PORTABLE NETWORK GRAPHICS) is a raster graphics ûle format that supports lossless
data compression.
Ø GIF a lossless format for image ûles that supports both animated and static images.
Ø BMP is a raster graphics image used to store bitmap digital images
Ø EPS used in vector-based images in Adobe Illustrator.
Ø SVG is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics w/ support for interactivity
and animation
Ø .3ds is one of the ûle formats used by the Autodesk 3Ds Max 3D Modelling, animation and rendering
software.
Ø . x 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
Ø MARQUEE TOOL for selecting rectangular or other regular polygon-shaped regions
Ø LASSO TOOL for freehand selection of a region
Ø MAGIC WAND TOOL selects objects or regions in the image deûned 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.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

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 pa ern. 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 üipped or vertically
üopped. Rotated image usually require cropping afterwards, in order to remove the resulting gaps at the
image edges.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

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 üaws. Too much causes the image to blur.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

SATURATION- is an expression for the relative bandwidth of the visible output from a light source. As
saturation increase, colors appear more <pure.99 As saturation decreases, colors appear more 89 washed-
out.99
CONTRAST AND BRIGHTENING
Contrast of images and brighten or darken the image. Underexposed images can be often be improved
by using this feature.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

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 be er 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 be er.
DIFFERENCES
PHOTO EDITING 3 signiûes the regular process used to enhance photos and to create them 89Actual
editing simple process99. Also includes some of the regular programs used for editing and expose how to
use them.
PHOTO MANIPULATION 3 includes all simple editing techniques and have some manipulation
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

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 person9s
face and changing the features of a person9s body.
b.) 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 89infographics99, we9re using it as a general term used to describe data presented in a visual
way.
Infographics are important because they change the way people ûnd 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.

LESSON 7: Online Platforms for ICT Content
Development
1.Facebook
(https://onlineplatformsweb.wordpress.com/2017/02/13/first
-blog-post/)
Posted on February 13, 2017
1. Marketplace 3 allows members to post, read and respond to classiûed ads.
2. Groups 3 allows members who have common interests to ûnd each other and interact.
3. Events 3 allows members to publicize an event, invite guests and track who plans to a end.
4. Pages 3 allows members to create and promote a public page built around a speciûc topic.
5. Presence technology 3 allows members to see which contacts are online and chat.
Within each member9s personal proûle, there are several key networking components. The most popular
is arguably the Wall, which is essentially a virtual bulletin board. Messages left on a member9s Wall can
be text, video or photos. Another popular component is the virtual Photo Album. Photos can be
uploaded from the desktop or directly from a smartphone
(h p://searchmobilecomputing.techtarget.com/deûnition/smartphone) camera. There is no limitation on
quantity, but Facebook staﬀ will remove inappropriate or copyrighted images. An interactive album
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

feature allows the member9s contacts (who are called generically called <friends=) to comment on each
other9s photos and identify (tag) people in the photos. Another popular proûle component is status
updates, a microblogging
(h p://searchmobilecomputing.techtarget.com/deûnition/microblogging)feature that allows members to
broadcast short Twi er-like announcements to their friends. All interactions are published in a news
feed, which is distributed in real-time to the member9s friends.
Facebook oﬀers a range of privacy
(h p://searchdatamanagement.techtarget.com/deûnition/privacy) options to its members. A member
can make all his communications visible to everyone, he can block speciûc connections or he can keep all
his communications private. Members can choose whether or not to be searchable, decide which parts of
their proûle are public, decide what not to put in their news feed and determine exactly who can see
their posts. For those members who wish to use Facebook to communicate privately, there is a message
feature, which closely resembles email.
2. Instagram
Instagram is an online mobile (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_social_network) photo-sharing
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_sharing) site that allows its users to share pictures and videos
either publicly or privately on the app, as well as through a variety of other social networking platforms,
such as Facebook (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook), Twi er
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twi er), Tumblr (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumblr), and Flickr
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flickr). Originally, a distinctive feature was that it conûned photos to a
square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid SX-70 images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio
typically used by mobile device cameras. In August 2015, version 7.5 was released, allowing users to
upload media captured in any aspect ratio. Users can also apply digital ûlters
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_ûlter) to their images. Videos on Instagram debuted in June
2013, allowing prerecorded square standard deûnition (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard-
deûnition_television) resolution clips of up to 15 seconds to be shared; later improvements added
support for widescreen (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widescreen)resolutions of up to 1080p
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p) and longer recording times for either prerecorded (up to one
minute) or disappearing live (up to one hour) videos.
Instagram was created by Kevin Systrom (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Systrom) and Mike
Krieger (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Krieger), and launched in October 2010 as a free mobile
app (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_app). The service rapidly gained popularity, with over 100
[10] (h // iki di / iki/I t # it t i 10)
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

million active users as of April 2012
and over 300 million as of December 2014.
Instagram is distributed through the
Apple App Store (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App_Store_(iOS)) and Google Play
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play).
Support for the app is available for iPhone (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone), iPad
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad), iPod Touch (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Touch), Windows
10 (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_Mobile) devices and Android
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)) handsets, while third-party Instagram apps
are available for BlackBerry 10 (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_10) and Nokia-Symbian
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbian) Devices.
3. Twitter
Twi er is an online news (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News) and social networking
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking_service) service where users post and interact with
messages, <tweets,= restricted to 140 characters
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_(computing)). Registered
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_registration) users can post tweets, but those who are unregistered
can only read them. Users access Twi er through its website interface, SMS
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Message_Service) or a mobile device app
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_software).
Twi er Inc. is based in San Francisco
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco), California
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California), United States (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States),
and has more than 25 offices around the world.
Twitter is about learning and adding value
It is also about adding value to others by giving or sharing something valuable to them so that they are
able to learn something. That is why I usually tweet about stuff that I read, learned or have good value. I
have learned so much from the others that is why I love twi er. It is also about helping others, I disagree
with many8experts9 that say you should only follow 8influential9 users because I don9t judge someone that
[10] (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instagram#cite_note-igpress-10)
[11] (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instagram#cite_note-11)

[10]
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twi er#cite_note-10)
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

way, and because I believe the people at Twi er don9t believe in them either. I also disagree that you
should only share your own stuﬀ otherwise you will dilute your brand. Sure it makes sense but 24/7
sharing your own blog post and following inüuential people?
BLOGGING SITES
1. Weebly
Weebly is one of the easiest website builders in the market
(h p://www.websitebuilderexpert.com/go/weeblyvswp). They allow you to drag and drop content into
a website, so it9s very intuitive to use (click here to see our opinion on Weebly
(h p://www.websitebuilderexpert.com/weebly-review/)).
By using Weebly9s website building elements, you can literally drag them into your website and have a
website built relatively quickly, and painlessly. The beauty of this system is that you can pre y much
drag the elements to wherever you want 3 so it9s not very restrictive on where and how you place your
website content.
Weebly9s elements include pictures, paragraphs, videos, bu ons, maps, contact forms 3 basically all the
basics for website building.
2. Tumblr
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

Tumblr is a popular microblogging platform designed for creative self-expression. It is considered a
mindful alternative to Facebook and other social media websites where users blog on a myriad of topics.
You can link your Tumblr account to other social networks you use and you can feed your traditional
blog or other RSS feed (h ps://www.lifewire.com/lessons-in-rss-3476628) to your Tumblelog. You can
also create static pages such as your own Questions page that people are automatically taken to when
they ask you a question. If you want to make your Tumblelog look more lie a traditional website, you
can do it by adding pages. You can make your Tumblelog private or just make speciûc posts private as
needed, and you can schedule posts to publish in the future.
Tumblr is perfect for people who don9t need a full blog to publish lengthy posts. It9s also great for
people who prefer to publish quick multimedia posts, particularly from their mobile devices. Tumblr is
also a great choice for people who want to join a larger community. If a blog is too much or too big for
you, but Twi er is too small or too li le for you and Instagram isn9t versatile enough for you, then
Tumblr might be just right for you.
It9s also easy to invite other people to contribute to your Tumblelog.
If you want to track your stats, you can add any analytics tracking code (h ps://www.lifewire.com/top-
blog-statistics-trackers-3476176) to your Tumblelog. Some users will even burn a feed with Feedburner,
create custom themes, and use their own domain names
3. Pinterest
Pinterest is a free website that requires registration to use.Users can upload, save, sort, and manage
images4known as pins4and other media content (e.g., videos) through collections known as
pinboards. Pinterest acts as a personalized media platform. Users can browse the content of others in
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

their feed. Users can then save individual pins to one of their own boards using the <Pin It= bu on, with
pinboards typically organized by a central topic or theme. Users can personalize their experience by
pinning items, creating boards, and interacting with other members. The end result is that the <pin feed=
of each user displays unique, personalized results.
Content can also be found outside of Pinterest and similarly uploaded to a board via the <Pin It= bu on,
which can be downloaded to the bookmark
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmark_(World_Wide_Web)) bar on a web browser, or be
implemented by a webmaster directly on the website. They also have the option of sending a pin to other
Pinterest users and email accounts through the <Send= bu on. Some websites include red and white
<pin it= bu ons on items, which allow Pinterest users to pin them directly.
Initially, there were several ways to register a new Pinterest account. Potential users could either receive
an invitation from an already registered friend, or they could request an invitation directly from the
Pinterest website that could take some time to receive. An account can also be created and accessed by
linking Pinterest to a Facebook (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook) or Twi er
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twi er) proûle. When a user re-posts or re-pins an image to their own
board, they have the option of notifying their Facebook and Twi er followers. This feature can be
managed on the se ings page.
On the main Pinterest page, a <pin feed= appears, displaying the chronological activity from the
Pinterest boards that a user follows.
A <board= is where the user9s pins are located. Users can have several boards for various items such as
quotes, travel or, most popularly, weddings. A <pin= is an image that has either been uploaded or linked
from a website. Once users create boards and add pins, other users can now repin, meaning they
can pin one user9s image to their board as well. Once the user has set up their account and boards, they
can browse, comment, and like other pins. Users might be discouraged by repeated images and diﬃcult-
to-follow direct linking features. Pinterest has also added the option of making boards <secret= so that
the user can pin to and view boards that only the user can see when logged into their own account.
Pinterest does not generate its own content; rather, it draws from many resources around the web and
compiles them in one convenient location for users.
LESSON 8: Basic Web Page Creation
1.) What are the advantages and disadvantages of a WYSIWYG editor?
ADVANTAGE :
-You don9t need any scripting/coding experience.
3 It9s simple and easy for beginners.
3 Everything moves üuently, and you can easily preview what you want.
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

DISADVANTAGE :
-A lot of HTML code churned out by the editors is superüuous which makes the web pages bulky in ûle
size
-WYSIWYG editors let you ignore certain aspects that are important.
-WYSIWYG editors simply do not provide enough support and help in optimizing your web site for
search engines.

LESSON 11: ICT as Platform for Change
The Role of ICT in Recent History
Throughout recent history, the Philippines have been one of a few nations that demonstrate unity for
a call to action or social change. These campaigns for social change would have not been successful if it
were not for ICT.
1. EDSA (PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION). The people power revolution lasted from 1083 to 1986.
During a radio broadcast of Radio Veritas, Cardinal Sin encouraged the Filipinos to help end the
lOMoARcPSD|19576804

regime of then President Ferdinand Marcos. A major protest took place along the EDSA from
February 22 to 25, 1986 involving two million Filipinos from diﬀerent sectors. These included
civilians, political parties, the military and religious groups.
2. EDSA DOS.This is also known as the 2001 EDSA Revolution, happened during January 17 to 21,
2001. It was fueled after 11 prosecutors of the President Joseph Estrada walked out of the
impeachment trial. As a result, the crowd in EDSA grew over the course of a few days through text
brigades.
3. Million People March.This is a series pf protest that mainly took place in Luneta Park from august
22 to 26, 2013. There were also several demonstrations that happened around key cities in the
Philippines and some location overseas. The organizers and promoters of the Million People March
used Facebook and Change.org as their, mediums.
4. Yolanda People Finder.Recent storms in Philippines history gave birth to the People ûnder database
powered by Google. During typhoon Yolanda, the people ûnder was a vital tool for people across the
globe to track the situation of their relatives. This proved to be successful and is now adapted by
more organizations to help people track relatives during calamities.
Change.org
Change.org is dubbed as the <world9s platform for change= where anyone from the online
community can create a petition and ask others to sign in it. During the past times petitions are only
done through signing a paper, usually done by a group asking for signatures via travel. Change.org
gives access to more people by allowing the online community to aﬃx their digital signatures on
petition.
