LESSON 1:
INTRODUCTION TO ICT
ICT– Information and Communication
Technology
• 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 ‘’ICT 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 country’s information and
communications technology (ICT) agenda in support of national
development.
COMPUTER
• an electronic device for storing
and processing data, typically
in binary form, according to
instructions given to it in a
variable program.
INTERNET
• 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 ‘’the Net’’, 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.
WORLD WIDE WEB
• Is an information space where
documents and other web
resources are identified by URLs,
interlinked by hypertext links, and
can be accessed via the Internet.
• Invented by Tim-Berners Lee
Web Pages
• 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 – refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely made up of the
Web pages connected by hyperlinks.
2. Web 2.0 – is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic pages. The user is able to see
a website differently than others.
– 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 – this platform is all about semantic web.
– Aims to have machines (or servers) understand the user’s preferences to be able to
deliver web content.
STATIC WEB PAGE
• is known as a flat page or stationary age in the
sense that the page is ‘’as is’’ 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 PAGES
• 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,
Twitter, use tags that start with the sign #, referred to as hashtag.
2. Rich User Experience – content is dynamic and is responsive
to user’s 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 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 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 Participation– diverse information sharing through
universal web access. Web 2.0’s content is based on people from
various cultures.
TRENDS IN ICT
1. Convergence
• 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 MEDIA
• 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 – 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 profile, add people,
share content, etc
• Example: Facebook and Google+
b). Bookmarking Sites – 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 – 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
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. Twitter 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
3. Mobile Technologies
• 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.
•Networking
(LTE), which is
currently the
fastest.
MOBILE OS
• iOS – use in apple devices such as iPhone and iPad
• Android – an open source OS developed by
Google. Being open source means mobile phone
companies use this OS for free.
• Blackberry OS – use in blackberry devices
• Windows phone OS – A closed source and proprietary operating
system developed by Microsoft.
• Symbian – the original smartphone OS. Used by Nokia devices
• WebOS- originally used in smartphone; now in smart TVs.
• Windows Mobile – developed by Microsoft for smartphones and
pocket PCs
4. Assistive Media
• is a non- profit service designed
to help people who have visual
and reading impairments. A
database of audio recordings is
used to read to the user.
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 doesn’t exist
on your computer – it’s on the service’s computer cloud.
IT HAS THREE COMPONENTS
1. Client computers – clients are the device that

the end user interact with cloud.
2. Distributed Servers – Often servers are in
geographically different places, but server acts as if
they are working next to each other.
3. Datacenters – It is
collection of servers where
application is placed and is
accessed via Internet.
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.
