CHANGE
QUARTER 4 - Module 2
HOW ICT CHANGE THE WORLD?
• Considering the world being a global village, Information and
communication technologies (ICT) have become more valuable
entity in all aspects of life. Over thirty years, the use of ICT has
fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all
forms of exertion surrounded by business, governance and
education.
• In today’s interrelated world, information and communication
technology (ICT) is extensively used by our country and it affects
our lives everyday. ICT has contributed a lot to change our
everyday life such as letter to e-mail, market shopping to on-line
shopping, classroom learning to e-learning, etc.
INTRODUCTION TO ICT
OBJECTIVES:
• Improves their knowledge on how ICT affects their everyday
lives and the state of our nation;
• Compare and contrast the differences between online
platforms, sites , and content ;
• Understand the future of the World Wide Web through Web
3.0;
• Learn the different trends in ICT use them to their advantage.
ABOUT ICT
• ICT deals with the use of different communication technologies such
as mobile phones, telephone , internet , etc. to locate, save, send and
edit information.
• As a matter of fact, we are living in a constantly evolving digital world.
ICT has an impact on nearly every aspect of our lives – from working
to socializing, learning to playing. The digital age has transformed the
way young people communicate, network, seek help, access
information and learn.
• Example: when we make a video call, we use internet.
WEB 2.0
• Web 2.0 allows the user to interact with the page known as DYNAMIC
PAGE; instead of just reading a page, the user may be able to comment
or create a user account. Dynamic Page refers to the web pages that
are affected by user input or preference.
Example of Web 2.0
• Social Networking Sites
•Blog
•Wikis
• Video Sharing Sites
WEB 3.0
•Semantic Web – is a movement led by the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) . The
semantic web provides a framework that
allows data to be shared and reuse to
deliver web content specifically targeting
the user.
TRENDS IN ICT
Convergence – is the synergy of technological
advancements to work on similar goal or task .
• For example, besides using your personal computer
to create word documents, you can now use your
smartphones.
Social Media- is a website, application, or online
channel that enables web users to create, co- create ,
discuss , modify, and exchange user generated content.
SIX TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA:
The world of social media is an ever-evolving
beast, so it helps to get an update on the current
state of affairs from time to time. Here are the six
primary categories of social media as of 2020,
each with their own unique characteristics and
marketing strengths.
1.SOCIAL NEWS
•Social news sites are aggregators that allow
users to post news links to external sites, on
which other users can then vote submissions up
or down in a way that affects their overall
exposure. In practice, this means that links with
the highest number of votes are the most
prominently displayed.
• Microblogging platforms are sites that
allow users to post short written entries,
which can include links to product and
service sites, or links to other social media
platforms. Microblogging sites typically
build a “wall” or “newsfeed” to allow for
specific sharing with followers.
2. MICROBLOGGING
3.SOCIAL NETWORK
•Social Networks
•When most people think of social media, they
tend to imagine social networking sites. A social
networking site is a platform that allows people
from similar backgrounds or with similar
interests to connect online.
4. BOOKMARKING SITES
•Bookmarking sites are used to save and
organize links from the internet’s plethora of
online resources and websites. These sites
typically allow users to “tag” or categorize
these links, making it easier to share with
specific groups of followers.
5.MEDIA SHARING
Media sharing platforms allow users to share a range of media online; in
practice, images and video dominate these sites. YouTube has been one of
the world’s most well-known media sharing platforms since its launch in
2005. In 2019, more than 500 hours of video content were being uploaded
to the platform every minute.
Example platforms includes:
• Facebook. Instagram.
• Twitter. Tiktok.
• LinkedIn. YouTube.
• Pinterest.
6.ONLINE FORUM
• An online forum is an internet space structured around and dedicated
to conversation, usually through posting questions, answers, and
responses. Online forums do not usually happen in real time. By
archiving past responses and arranging posts (either in order of
posting or by popularity), a forum can host an engaging discussion
that is carried out over days, months, or even years.
• Some online forums are built around a special interest, anything from
organic gardening tips to fiery political debates. Some are built
around a product, like the community of bookkeepers who trade
notes about using Quickbooks, the accounting software.
