2. ICT Project for
social change
Plan and conceptualize an
ICT project for social change
Develop and
construct the ICT
project

3. Creating a Concept Paper
Before starting your project, your group should
be able to do the necessary paperwork. This allows
experts to see if your project is doable over the time
frame that was given and if it is significant enough to
be made into reality.
A concept paper is a document used to convince a
panel of potential funders to help a product, program,
or service become a reality. Your teacher will play the
role of the sponsor and you have to convince him or
her that your project is worth your time and effort.

4. Five elements of a concept paper:
Introduction
Purpose
Description
Support
Contact
Information

5. Five elements of a concept paper:
1. Introduction - includes your group's mission and
vision and a brief introduction of your project.
2. Purpose - includes the reasons why this project is
worth your group and your sponsor's time, effort,
and money.
3. Description - includes all the necessary
information about the project. In ICT, it involves
the sites you are going to produce and the purpose
of each and how they work in unison.

6. Five elements of a concept paper:
4. Support- contains the budget needed
for the project. Some concept papers do
not specify any amount requested from
the sponsor.
5. Contact Information - includes
information on how the group can be
contacted.

7. Sample Concept Paper
For years, many students depend on the school's
drinking fountain. Aside from Saving them money, the
school's drinking fountain contains filters that make the
water safe enough to drink. But according to our
research, the last time the water Was tested was about
three years ago and by using the drinking fountains
around school, it is highly questionable that the water is
still safe for drinking.

8. Our group has theorized that the natural wear-and-tear
of the drinking fountain has led to the water's unpleasant
taste. Our group, The Mosaic Alliance, aims to create several
online sources that will help promote the awareness of
people involved about this problem and create an online
petition with the goal of improving our drinking fountains
here in school.
Our group aims to create Change.org petition, a Facebook
group and a blog to help achieve our goals. We will be creating
infographics and other related information connected to the
dangers of drinking unsafe water especially at a young age. The
scope of our project is to be able to reach the school's
administration, parents, teachers, and students to sign our
petition.

9. We will be requiring a week to develop this
project and we will start our promotion right after
we have uploaded the website. We will also be
using our own resources so the funding for this
project will be close to none.
Our expenses may only include the printing of
campaign materials and the Internet and
computer shop rentals in case we need more time
outside school hours. We will also be using free
services already offered by Facebook, Blogger, and
Change.org.

15. ICT Project Publication
and Statistics
Uploading, creating content,
and designing a website and
social media page
Promotion, traction,
and traffic monitoring

16. Website operators use website statistics to determine their visitor's
demographic and the time and day they usually log in. These statistics are used
to know when a site owner should publish new content and which determine
which content could affect more visitors. WordPress offers statistics about each
post that you made. You can check the blog's popularity daily, weekly, monthly,
and annually. Facebook also offers statistical tools capable of telling the page
owner about the page's performance. It also includes the demographics of the
page's visitors which is essential in creating and posting future content.
User feedback is an essential way of improving your website. It allows
your site's
visitors to have their say about the site's strengths and weaknesses. Google
Forms allows
your audience to answer a set of questions you have set which can then be
imported as a
part of a spreadsheet and later used in a chart.

17. Google Forms allows you to use different question
types: Text is a question that can be answered by a
short text. Paragraph Text is a question that can be
answered in a long text. Multiple choice is a question
that can be answered by only one answer in a set of
options. Checkboxes is a question that can be answered
with multiple answers in a set of options.
