Quarter 1 – Module for Senior High School Grade 11

ICT in the Context of Global Communication

This module will help you explore the different technologies and online platforms
and how they can be used effectively. It contains activities that will let you create
your own ICT contents and evaluate existing online creation tools, platforms, and
applications. The module is self – instructional and allows you to learn in your own
space, at your own pace. So, relax and enjoy learning.
OVERVIEW

Information and Communication Technology or “ICT,” includes products that store, process,
transmit, convert, duplicate, or receive electronic information. ... Electronic textbooks, instructional
software, email, chat, and distance learning programs are also examples of ICT. The term ICT
simplified means any technology that has to do with information and communication.

Information can come in many forms such as sound, video, text, and images, so when you think of
what technology it is available that produces these aspects of information and sometimes a
combination of all these, we refer to such technology as mobile phones, digital cameras, video
cameras for example.

Today we do not need to go any further than our own home or even room, to see some form of
ICT in our lives. Whether it be a computer, plasma TV, or mobile phone, we all have them in some
part of our lives. In today’s society, people as consumers of ICT, all strive for the one dream – the
dream of a connected life.

WHAT IS IT

The term Information and Communication Technology (ICT) collectively refers to the technologies, both
hardware and software, that enable humans to communicate with one another. It is a common
misconception that ICT is the Internet or computer alone. Basically, it is any form of technology that
enables you to communicate

ICT IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Philippines is dubbed as the “ICT Hub of Asia” because of the huge growth of ICT-related jobs, one of
which is BPO, Business Process Outsourcing, or call centers. In a data gathered by the Annual Survey of
Philippines Business and Industries in 2010, the ICT industry shares 19.3% of the total employment
population.

When the internet was fully commercialized in 1995, it has tremendously impacted culture and commerce,
including the rise of near instant communication by email, instant messaging, telephony (Voice over
Internet Protocol or VoIP), two-way interactive video calls, and the World Wide Web with its discussion
forums, blogs, social networking, and online shopping sites. The Internet is the global system of
interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between
networks and devices.

THE WORLD WIDE WEB

The World Wide Web is 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. It was invented by Tim-Berners Lee. The World Wide Web browser software, such
as Microsoft's Internet Explorer/Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome, let users
navigate from one web page to another via the hyperlinks embedded in the documents. These documents
may also contain any combination of computer data, including graphics, sounds, text, video, multimedia
and interactive content that runs while the user is interacting with the page. The Web has enabled
individuals and organizations to publish ideas and information to a potentially large audience online at
greatly reduced expense and time delay.

TYPES OF WEB PAGES

 WEB 1.0 OR THE WEB. It is the first stage of the World Wide Web evolution. It is a flat or stationary
page since it cannot be manipulated by the user.

 WEB 2.0 OR THE SOCIAL WEB allows users to interact with the page, the user may be able to
comment or create a user account. Most websites that we visit today are Web 2.0.

 WEB 3.0 OR SEMANTIC WEB. The semantic web provides a framework that allows data to be shared
and reuse to deliver web content specifically targeting the user. Search Engine will learn about you and
your habits from each search you perform and will gather details about you from your previous activities like
likes and social postings and present the answers as per your preferences.
Below is a comparison of Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0:

FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

FEATURES WEB 2.0
FOLKSONOMY Allows users to collectively classify and find information using freely
chosen keywords (e.g. "tagging" by Facebook). Tagging uses the pound
sign #, often referred to as a hashtag.
RICH USER dynamic content that is responsive to user input (e.g., a user can "click"
EXPERIENCE on an image to enlarge it or find out more information)
USER’S The owner of a website is not the only one who is able to put content.
 PARTICIPATION Others are able to place content on their own by means of comments,
reviews, and evaluation.
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 on the Internet, or a data plan that
charges you for the amount of bandwidth you used.
SOFTWARE AS A Users will subscribe to a software only when needed rather than
SERVICE purchasing them.
