  The world is always in constant change and we must keep up with it. Along with this, we must 
also  understand  how  the  changes  work  –  specifically,  through  Information  and  Communication 
Technology (ICT) – and what are their implications in our modern society 

With this, we must learn and explore ICT and the online platform, sites, content and how it 
affects the way we think.  This will focus on the different online platform. The duration of this activity 
will be two (2) days. 

What is ICT? 

  ICT  (Information  and  Communication  Technology)-  deals  with  the  use  of  different

ONLINE PLATFORMS (30 minutes)

 4

an online marketplace that places one party in touch with another, such as buyers and sellers. 

ONLINE PLATFORM CATEGORIES:  

- Social Media  

  Social Media are forms of electronic communication (as Websites for social networking and 
microblogging)  through  which  users  create  online  communities  to  share  information,  ideas,  personal 
messages, and other content (as videos). 

Social Networking  

  What  is  the  difference  between  social  media  and  social  networking?  These  are  forms  of 
media.  Essentially,  social media is a platform for broadcasting information, whereas social networking 
is  a  platform  for  communicating  with  one  another.  Social  media  is  a  communication  channel, 
whereas,  in  social  networking,  communication  has  a  two-way nature. Even with the distinction being 
given, some nuances can be pointed out. 

  As an example of how they differ and yet somewhat overlap, Facebook is a social networking 
site.  You  register  and  post  your  profile,  connect  with  friends,  and  comment  on  topics  in  a  generally 
interactive  way.  On  that  same  social  networking  site,  companies  set  up  a  presence  and  use 
Facebook as a way to promote their brand and gain followers. 

- Search Engines  

  It is a software system designed to search for information on the World Wide Web (WWW). The 
search  results  are  generally  presented  in  a  line  of  results  referred  to  as  Search  Engine  Results  Pages 
(SERPs). 

- Communications Services  

  These  are  outsourced  enterprise  communications  solutions that can be leased from a single 

vendor  or  provider.  A Communications Service Provider (CSP) is a provider that transports information 
electronically  and  can  encompass  public  and  private  companies  in  telecom,  internet,  cable, 
satellite, and managed services business.   

- Payment Systems  

  It is any system used to settle financial transactions through the transfer of monetary value and 
includes the institutions, instruments, people, rules, procedures, standards, and technologies. 

- Advertising Platforms 

  It  allows  users to create and manage advertising campaigns, generate reports, and retrieve 

information  about  the  ads,  campaigns,  and  organizations  associated  with  an  account.  With  the 
advent  of  technology,  these  types  of  payments  are  now  being  done  through  online  transactions.  It 
has  made  payments  and  sending  or  receiving  money  more  comfortable,  convenient,  less  hassle, 
and not time-consuming for people 

PLATFORM FOR ADVERTISING 

Facebook advertising is picking up speed in the business world. It uses social graph and 
activities to pinpoint those who fall into your buyer demographics, making Facebook ads incredibly 
useful. Facebook ads are more likely to bring in strong leads that are looking for your services. They 
help make sure your advertising budget is 8 not wasted on those who are not interested in what you 
4
 5

are offering. Facebook makes your product or service put into the hands of the exact person who 
wants it. 
 
PLATFORM FOR HASHTAGGING  
Twitter is a fast-paced, concise, and easy way to connect with your audience. With over 
310 million registered users (and growing), Twitter is a sea of information of 140 characters or less 
content waiting to be read, clicked, followed, and re-tweeted. When marketing on Twitter, you need 
to have content that is enticing to stop and click through. People are usually scrolling quickly, to take 
more than just a simple text to stop them in their tracks. Make sure when you are constructing your 
tweets, you are making people want to click through 
 
PLATFORM FOR GROUPING  
LinkedIn is different from the rest of the social media outlets because it is specially designed 
for businesses and professionals. Users mainly go to LinkedIn to showcase their job experience and 
professional thoughts, making it one of the most important platforms to use for those in B2B. 
PLATFORM FOR TEACHING  
   
YouTube is the leading video-sharing platform in the world. On your channel, your brand 
can share and edit videos, create playlists, and prompt discussions. 
PLATFORM FOR ANALYZING BUSINESS  
Pinterest is one of the unique marketing platforms on this list. Instead of posting content for 
your audience to read, on Pinterest, you will post just a clickable picture and a short caption. 
Pinterest is a top-rated platform for brands with a tangible product, i.e., clothing and food brands, 
restaurants, those in eCommerce, etc

Real world relevance of the topic ​Networked World​ – everything is connected through the Internet. In 
a publication by Marshall McLuhan, he coined the term “Global Village” 

- Due to the continuous spread of connection to the Internet, the world as we know it gets 
smaller and smaller. A lot more people are getting connected (virtually or online) to each other. 
And information is much easier to be accessed. 
- The rise of the Global Village (or the Networked World) causes a huge dilemma between: 
o Since a lot more people are connected over the Internet, there will be an inevitable risk to 
each users’ privacy. This is already seen in the events where hacking of personal and 
private information is prevalent.  
o The community’s need to know.  
 

As McLuhan stated in his 1967 book The Medium is the Message: ​“Electrical information devices for 
universal, tyrannical womb-to-tomb surveillance are causing a very serious dilemma between our 
claim to privacy and the community’s need to know.”

IV: INTRODUCTION/RATIONALE 

In this generation, people are dependent on the Internet. Like how people socialize face to 
face, we should always follow etiquette as it mirrors our personality. Being on different platforms, we 
should be aware of our actions and protect ourselves at the same time. Remember that once 
something has been shared online, it cannot be deleted.   

This lesson provides information about Netiquette. It will serve as your guide on how to behave 
appropriately online. It is vital to use Netiquette because communication online is non-verbal. Most 
often, online discussion consists of reading something someone else’s has type. The duration of the 
activity will be 2 days.

TEN CORE RULES OF NETIQUETTE 

16
 17

  Netiquette,  or  network  etiquette,  is  concerned  with  the  "proper"  manner  of  communication  in 
the  online  environment.  Every  Time  you  communicate  in  the  virtual  world,  consider  the  following 
"rules," adapted from Virginia Shea's Core Rules of Netiquette. 

Rule 1: Remember the Human  

  When communicating electronically, whether through email, instant message, discussion 
post,  text, or another method, practice the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do 
unto  you.  Remember,  your  written  words  are  read  by  real  people,  all  deserving  of  respectful 
communication.  Before  you  press  "send"  or  "submit,"  ask  yourself,  "Would  I  be  okay  with  this  if 
someone else had written it?" 

​Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life 

  While it can be argued that standards of behavior may be different in the virtual world, 
they  certainly  should  not  be  lower.  You  should  do  your  best  to  act  within  the  laws  and  ethical 
manners  of  society  whenever  you  inhabit  "cyberspace."  Would  you  behave  rudely  to  someone 
face-to-face? On most occasions, no. Neither should you behave this way in the virtual world. 

Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace "Netiquette varies from domain to domain."(Shea, 1994)  

  Depending on where you are in the virtual world, the same written communication can 
be  acceptable  in  one area, where it might be considered inappropriate in another. What you text to 
a  friend  may  not  be  appropriate  in  an  email  to  a  classmate  or  colleague.  Can  you  think  of another 
example?  

Rule  4:  Respect  other  people's  time  and  bandwidth  Electronic  communication  takes  time:  time  to 
read and time in which to respond.  

  Most  people  today  lead  busy  lives,  just  like  you  do,  and  do  not  have  time  to  read  or 
respond  to  frivolous  emails  or  discussion  posts.  As a virtual world communicator, it is your responsibility 
to  make  sure  that  the  time  spent  reading  your  words  is  not  wasted.  Make  your  written 
communication  meaningful  and  to  the  point,  without  extraneous  text  or  superfluous  graphics  or 
attachments that may take forever to download. 

Rule 5: Make yourself look good online  

  One of the virtual world's best things is the lack of judgment associated with your physical 
appearance,  the  sound  of  your  voice,  or  the  clothes  you  wear  (unless  you  post  a  video  of  yourself 
singing  Karaoke  in  a  clown  outfit.)  The  quality  of  your writing will judge you, so keep the following tips 
in  mind:  Always  check  for  spelling  and  grammar  errors  Know  what  you  are talking about and state it 
clearly Be pleasant and polite  

Rule 6: Share expert knowledge  

  The  Internet  offers  its  users  many  benefits;  one  is the ease in which information can be 

shared  or  accessed,  and  in fact, this "information sharing" capability is one of the reasons the Internet 
was  founded.  So, in the spirit of the Internet's "founding fathers," share what you know! When you post 
a  question  and  receive  intelligent  answers,  share  the  results  with  others.  Are  you  an  expert  at 
something?  Post  resources  and references for your subject matter. You have recently expanded your 
knowledge about a subject that might be of interest to others? Share that as well.  

Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control 

17
 18

  What  is  meant  by  "flaming"  and  "flame  wars?"  "Flaming  is  what  people  do  when  they 
express  a  strongly held opinion without holding back any emotion."(Shea, 1994). As an example, think 
of  the  kinds  of  passionate  comments  you  might  read  on  a  sports  blog.  While  "flaming"  is  not 
necessarily  forbidden  in  virtual  communication,  "flame  wars,"  when  two  or  three  people  exchange 
angry  posts  between  one  another,  must  be  controlled,  or  the  camaraderie  of  the  group  could  be 
compromised.  Do  not  feed  the  flames;  extinguish  them  by  guiding  the  discussion  back  to  a  more 
productive direction.  

Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy  

  Depending on what you are reading in the virtual world, be it an online class discussion 
forum,  Facebook  page,  or  an  email,  you  may  be  exposed  to  some  private  or  personal  information 
that  needs  to  be  handled  with  care.  Perhaps  someone  is  sharing some medical news about a loved 
one  or  discussing  a  situation  at work. What do you think would happen if this information "got into the 
wrong hands?" Embarrassment? Hurt feelings? Loss of a job? Just as you expect others to respect your 
privacy,  so  should  you  respect  the  privacy  of  others.  Be  sure  to  err  on  the  side  of  caution  when 
deciding to discuss or not to discuss virtual communication.  

Rule 9: Don't abuse your power  

  Like in face-to-face situations, there are people in cyberspace who have more "power" 
than  others.  They  have  more  expertise  in  technology  or  have  years  of  experience  in  a skill or subject 
matter.  Maybe  it  is  you  who  possesses  all  of  this  knowledge  and  power!  Just  remember:  knowing 
more  than  others  do or having more power than others may have does not give you the right to take 
advantage of anyone. Think of Rule 1: Remember the human.  

Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes  

  Not everyone has the same amount of experience working in the virtual world. And not 
everyone  knows  the  rules  of  Netiquette.  At  some  point,  you  will  see  a  stupid  question,  read  an 
unnecessarily  long  response,  or  encounter  misspelled  words;  when  this  happens,  practice  kindness 
and forgiveness as you would hope someone would do if you had committed the same offense. If it is 
a minor "offense," you might want to let it slide. If you feel compelled to respond to a mistake, do so in 
a  private  email  rather  than  a  public  forum.  Shea,  V.  (1994).  Core  Rules  of Netiquette. Retrieved from
