WHAT IS
ICT?
“Information” means many things to people.
Depending on the context. Scientifically, information is
a processed data.
 Communication
a transfer of information,
ideas, thoughts and messages.
it involves a sender, a receiver,
a code and a language that is
understood by both the
sender and receiver.
“Technology” refers to the use of scientific knowledge to
invent tools that assist human beings in their efforts to
overcome environmental hazards and impediments to
comfort. In this regard, technology refers to the things like
computer, telephone, cell phone, GSM handsets, television,
radio, etc.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

encompasses the vast world of technologies that shape

how we create, access, store, and share information.
 INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGY

✓Deals with the use of different

communication technologies such as
mobile phones, telephone, Internet,
etc. to locate, save, send, and edit
information.

✓Digital forms of communication

including tools available in the
internet , such as blogging and e-mail,
as well as computer software, such as
Microsoft PowerPoint and Word
 CONCEPT OF ICT

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have

been seen as pioneering tools for the promotion of the better
delivery of government programmes and services, enabling
the empowerment of citizens through greater access to
information, delivery of more efficient government
management processes, better transparency and
accountability, and the mitigation of corruption risks.
Key Components of ICT
 Hardware: The physical devices that make up
the technological infrastructure, like computers,
smartphones, servers, and networks.
Key Components of ICT
 Software: The programs and applications that
operate on the hardware, like operating
systems, productivity tools, communication
apps, and games.
 Key Components of ICT
 Data: The digital information processed and
manipulated by hardware and software,
including text, numbers, images, audio, and
video.
Key Components of ICT
 Networks: The infrastructure that connects all
these elements, allowing data to be shared and
communicated instantly across the globe.
 Advantages of using ICT in Education

 Increased access to information: ICT provides students with access

to a vast amount of information from all over the world.
Improved communication: ICT can help students to communicate
with their teachers, classmates, and other learners from all over the
world.
 Personalized learning: ICT can be used to personalize learning for
each student.
 Advantages of using ICT in lessons

Improved problem-solving skills: ICT can help students to develop

their problem-solving skills.

Prepared for the future: ICT is an essential skill in the 21st century
workforce.

Increased engagement: ICT can make learning more engaging for

students.
Some Negative Effects of ICT

Cyberbullying: ICT can be used for cyberbullying, which is the use of

electronic devices to bully or harass another person
Distraction: ICT can be a distraction for students, especially if they
are not using it responsibly.
Cost: ICT can be expensive, both for schools and for families.
Digital divide: Not all students have equal access to ICT, which can
create a digital divide between those who have access and those
who do not.
 Current Situation of ICT in the Philippines

Philippines

✓Philippines as the “ICT Hub of Asia”.

✓Huge growth of ICT related jobs around the country, one of which is call
center or BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) centers.
✓In a data gathered by the Annual Survey of Philippines Business and
Industries, NSO, in 2010, the ICT industry shares 19.3% of the total
employment population.
✓Time magazines declared Makati City, Philippines-
Rank 1 as the “Selfiest Cities around the world and
Rank 9 is Cebu City.
 WWW (World Wide
Web)
Composed of many web
pages that are accessible
anytime.

Website-location where
there are many web pages.

Web browser-search engine:

a tool for searching.
 Web 1.0 or Static
Webpage

It contains Web pages with fixed content.

Each page is coded in HTML and displays

the same information to every visitor.

Static sites are the most basic type of

website and are the easiest to create.
 Web 2.0 or Dynamic
Webpage

Web 2.0 (also known as

participative or participatory web
and social web) refers to websites
that emphasize user-generated
content, ease of use, participatory
culture and interoperability (i.e.,
compatibility with other products,
systems, and devices) for end users.
 Web 2.0 or Dynamic
Webpage

Web 2.0 allows the user to interact

with the page known as DYNAMIC
PAGE;

It is a webpage that displays

different content each time it’s
viewed.
 Web 2.0 Examples

Hosted Services Video Sharing Sites blogs Folksonomies

Social Networking Microblogging

Web Applications Wikis
 Web 2.0
Characteristics

1. Interactive – to encourage visitors

to sign-up, inquire, buy, download
or click further.
2. Fresh – designed to keep new
news front and center.
3. Informative – websites are
repositories of great information
and allowing your visitors to use
your site as a place to research,
learn and educate themselves is
what it’s all.
 Web 2.0
Characteristics

4. Less cluttered – gone are the days

of hugely complex navigation –
the simpler you can make it, the
better
5. Pertinent – long winded, lengthy
copy is out and short, vibrant copy is
what visitors want
6. Organized – companies and
organizations often have a lot of
information to present to various
audiences who use the site
 Key Features of Web
2.0

Folksonomy – allows users to

categorize and classify/arrange
information using freely chosen
keywords(e.g. tagging).

Rich User Interface – content is

dynamic and is responsive to user’s
input. An example would be a
website that shows local content.
 Key Features of Web
2.0

User Participation – the owner of

website is not the only one who is able to
put content.

Long Tail – services are offered on

demand rather than on a one-time
purchase.
 Key Features of Web
2.0

Software as a Service (SaaS) – allows users

to connect to and use cloud-based apps
over the Internet.

Mass Participation – is a diverse

information sharing through universal web
access. Since most users can use the
Internet, Web 2.0’s content is based on
people from various cultures.
 Semantic Web (Web
3.0)

The Semantic Web, sometimes known as

Web 3.0, is an extension of the World
Wide Web through standards set by the
World Wide Web Consortium.

The semantic web provides a framework

that allows data to be shared and reuse
to deliver web content specifically
targeting the user.

 Factors for not fully recognizing
semantic as web 3.0:
✓ Compatibility – HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web
3.0.

✓ Security – The user’s security is also question since the machine is saving his
or her preferences.

✓ Vastness – The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.

✓ Vagueness – Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small”
would depend to the user.

✓ Logic – since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a computer
to be able to predict what the user is referring to at a given time.
 ICT in business is categorized into broad
types:
•Traditional computer based technologies –
These are common things you do on personal
computer, maybe at work or in home.
Examples:
standard office application (Excel, word, ppt,
database software).
 ICT in business is categorized into broad
types:
• Digital Communication Technology
It is the communication of data by electronic
means, allowing people to share
Information digitally.
