ICT IN THE PHILIPPINES
Several international companies dub the Philippines as the “ICT Hub of Asia
because of the huge growth of ICT-related jobs around the country, one of which is
the call center or BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) centers.
THE CURRENT STATE OF ICT TECHNOLOGIES
 Web 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages

When Tim Berners-Lee created the Internet, most web pages were
static (the page is “as is” and cannot be manipulated by the user) which are
now referred to as Web 1.0.
On the other hand, a dynamic web page, introduced in Web 2.0, is a
page where the contents depend on the user or the website visitor.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

Folksonomy

Mass Rich User


Participation Experience

Features of
Web 2.0

Software as a User
Service Participation

Long Tail

1. FOLKSONOMY-allows users to categorize and classify/arrange information


using freely chosen keywords (e.g, tagging).
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.
4. LONG TAIL- services that are offered on demand rather than on a one-time
purchase
5. SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE-users will subscribe to a software only when
needed rather than purchasing them.
6. MASS PARTICIPATION-diverse information sharing through universal web
access

WEB 3.0 AND THE SEMANTIC WEB


The Semantic Web is a movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C).
Web 3.0 aims to improve on Web 2.0 by adding user-specific content through
user preferences. However, the realization of Web 3.0 is hampered by several
problems, namely, compatibility, security, vastness, vagueness, and logic.

TRENDS IN ICT
1. CONVERGENCE-the synergy of technological advancements to work on a
similar goal or task.
2. SOCIAL MEDIA-a website, application, or online channel that enables web
users to create, co-create, discuss, modify, and exchange user-generated
content

TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA:

1. SOCIAL NETWORKS-are sites that allows to connect with other people with
the same interests or background. Examples: Facebook and Google+
2. BOOKMARKING SITES-are sites that allows to store and manage links to
various websites and resources. Examples: StumbleUpon and Pinterest
3. SOCIAL NEWS-sites that allow users to post their own news items or links to
other news sources. Examples: reddit and Digg.
4. MEDIA SHARING-are sites that allows you to upload and share media
content like images, music and videos. Examples: Flicker, Youtube, and
Instagram.
5. MICROBLOGGING-are sites that focus on short updates from the user.
Examples:Twitter and Plurk.
6. BLOGS AND FORUM-allows users to post their content. Examples:
Blogger, WordPress and Tumblr.

ONLINE SAFETY AND SECURITY

What is Online Safety?


It refers to the practices and precautions that should be observed when using
the Internet to ensure that the users as well as their computers and personal
information are safe from crimes associated with using the Internet.

Numerous delinquencies that can be committed on the Internet:


1. Stalking
2. Identity Theft
3. Privacy Violations
4. Harassments

ONLINE SAFETY MEASURES


1. Be mindful of what you share online and what site you share it to.
2. Do not just accept terms and conditions; read it.
3. Check the privacy policy page of a website to learn how the website handles
the information you share.
4. Know the security features of the social networking site you use. By keeping
your profile private, search engines will not be able to scan your profile.
5. Do not share your password with anyone.
6. Avoid logging in to public networks/Wi-Fi. Browsing in “incognito (or private)
mode” will not protect you from hackers.
7. Do not talk to strangers whether online or face-to-face.
8. Never post anything about a future vacation.
9. Add friends you know in real life.
10. Avoid visiting untrusted websites.
11. Install and update an antivirus software on your computer.
12. Avoid downloading anything from untrusted websites.
13. Buy the software; do not use pirated ones.

PROTECTING REPUTATIONS ONLINE


1. Respect your—and their—privacy. Don't share personal information or post
things that might harm your, or other people's, reputation or privacy.
2. Your Facebook status isn't worth your social status. What you post or
share now could seriously affect how your friends, family, and even future
employers see you. Think carefully about whether your post sends the
message you want the world to hear.
3. It's only forever. Once you share something on the internet, it can be copied
and reshared beyond your control. You might be able to delete your own post,
but you can't make other people forget about it, and you can't control copies,
screenshots, and reshares that other people made.
4. Manage your settings. Social media, and even commercial, accounts have
privacy settings that let you control who can see your information and posts
and how they can interact with you. These settings don't provide absolute
control over how your content is shared with the world, but they're a good
start.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
Copyright infringement (colloquially referred to as piracy) is the
use of works protected by copyright law without permission for a
usage where such permission is required, thereby infringing
certain exclusive rights granted to the copyright holder, such as
the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected
work, or to make derivative works. The copyright holder is typically
the work's creator, or a publisher or other business to whom
copyright has been assigned. Copyright holders routinely invoke
legal and technological measures to prevent and penalize copyright infringement.

“If you create something-an idea, an invention, a form of literary work, or a research, you
have the right as to how it should be used by others. This is called intellectual property.”

Tips that could help avoid copyright infringement:

1. UNDERSTAND. You can express something using your own words, but you should give
credit to the source.
2. BE RESPONSIBLE. Be responsible enough to know if something has a copyright.
3. BE CREATIVE. Ask yourself whether what you are making is something that came from
you or something made from somebody else’s creativity.
4. KNOW THE LAW. If you have doubts that what you are doing does not fall under the
policy of fair use, seek permission first. “Fair use” means that an intellectual property may
be used without a consent as long as it is used in commentaries, criticisms, search engines,
parodies, news reports, research, library archiving, teaching and education.

YOUR TURN TO SHINE!

Express your opinion on the picture below.

TAKE THE CHALLENGE!


Create a campaign material promoting “Think before you click” in the form of small
posters. The first five most creative posters will be uploaded to the social media.
ONLINE RESEARCH
Internet research is the practice of using internet information especially free
information on the World Wide Web.

GUIDELINES ON SEARCHING ONLINE


1. Have a question in mind. Focus on a question you want to answer.
2. Narrow it down.

3. Advanced search. The best way to filter information you get from search engines
is by using the advanced search. This will allow you to filter out information you do
not need.
KEYWORDS AND SYMBOLS THAT CAN BE USED IN ADVANCED SEARCH
Symbol Functions
+ Finds web pages that contain all the terms that are preceded by the +
symbol; allows to include terms that are usually ignored
““ Finds the exact words in a phrase
() Finds or excludes web pages that contain all the terms or phrases
AND or & Find web pages that contain all the terms or phrases
NOT or - Excludes web pages that contain a term or phrase
OR or | Finds web pages that contain either of the terms or phrases

4. Look for a credible source. The most credible sources are scientific journals,
established news and magazine websites, online encyclopedias, and scholarly
databases.
5. Give credit. If you are going to use the information from a source for educational
purposes, give credit to the original author of the page or information. To properly
cite a reference, the following format can be used:

Name of the person or organization (the author of the information). Title of


the home page in italics. URL. Date last seen.

Input
In the professional world, sending out information to convey important
information is vital. Because of ICT, things are now sent much faster than
the traditional newsletters or postal mail. You can now send much faster
than the traditional newsletters or postal mail. You can now use the Internet
to send out information you need to share. What if we could still do things
much faster – an automated way of creating and sending uniform letters
with different recipients? Would that not be more convenient?

I. Mail Merge and Label Generation

A. Mail Merge

          One of the important reasons in using computers per se is its ability
to do recurring tasks automatically. But this ability has to be honed by
learning the characteristics and features of the software you use with your
computer. After all, no matter how good or advance your computer and
software may be, it can only be as good as the person using it.
          In this particular part of our lesson, we will learn one of the most
powerful and commonly used features of Microsoft Word called Mail Merge.
As the name suggests, this feature allows you to create documents and
combine or merge them with another document or data file. It is commonly
used when sending out advertising materials to various recipients.
           The simplest solution for the scenario above is to create a document
and just copy and paste it several times then just replace the details
depending on whom you send it to. But what if you have hundreds or
thousands of recipients? Would not that take too many hours? What if you
have a small database of information where you can automatically
generate those letters?
Two Components of Mail Merge
1. Form Document
          The first component of our mail merged document is the form
document. It is generally the document that contains the main body of the
message we want to convey or send. The main body of the message is the
part of the form document that remains the same no matter whom you send
it to from among your list.

Also included in the form document is what we call place holders,


also referred to as data fields or merge fields. This marks the position on
your form document where individual data or information will be inserted.
From our sample document, the place holders are denoted or marked by
the text with double-headed arrows (<< >>) on each side and with a gray
background. On a printed standard form, this will be the underlined spaces
that you will see and use as a guide to where you need to write the
information that you need to fill out. In its simplest form, a form document is
literally a “form” that you fill out with individual information. A common
example of a form document is your regular tax form or application form.

2. List or Data File


           The second component of our mail merged document is the list or
data file. This is where the individual information or data that needs to be
plugged in (merged) to the form document is placed and maintained. One
of the best things about the mail merge feature is that it allows data file to
be created fro within the Microsoft Word application itself, or it gets data
from a file created in Microsoft Excel or other data formats. In this way,
fields that needed to be filled up on the form document can easily be
maintained without accidentally altering the form or main document. You
can also easily add, remove, modify, or extract your data more efficiently by
using other data management applications like Excel or Access and import
them in Word during the mail merge process.
B. Label Generation
            Included in the mail merge feature on Microsoft Word is the Label
Generator. It just makes sense that after you print out your form letters, you
will need to send it to individual recipients in an envelope with the matching
address printed directly on the envelope or on a mailing label to stick on.
By using virtually the same process as a standard mail merge, Microsoft
Word will print individual addresses to a standard form that it has already
pre-formatted. Simply put, it creates a blank form document that simulates
either a blank label or envelope of pre-defined size and will use the data file
that you selected to print the information, typically individual addresses. So
even in generating labels, the two essential components of creating a
merged document are present: the form document and the data file. Only in
this case, you did not have to type or create the form document yourself
because it was already created and pre-formatted in Microsoft Word. All
you need to do is select the correct or appropriate size for the label or
envelope and select the data file that contains the addresses (data) to be
printed. You can also preview your merged labels before printing if you
want to.
II.  Integrating Images and External Materials
           Integrating or inserting pictures in your document is fun and it
improves the impression of your document. A common use of inserting a
picture on a document is when you are creating your resume. Though
seemingly simple to do, your knowledge on the different kinds of materials
that you can insert or integrate in a Word document and its characteristics
can help you create a more efficient, richer document not only in content
but also in physical form. A better understanding of the physical form of
your document as well as the different materials you would integrate in it
would allow you to be more efficient and versatile in using Microsoft Word.

A. Kinds of Materials
           There are various kinds of materials Microsoft Word is capable of
integrating to make the documents richer, more impressive, and more
informative.

1. Pictures
          Generally, these are electronic or digital pictures or photographs you
have saved in any local storage device. There are three commonly used
types of picture files. You can identify them by the extension on their file
names.

a. .JPG/JPEG
          This is pronounced as “jay-peg“ and is the short form of .jpeg or Joint
Photographic Experts Group. Like all the rest of the image file extensions, it
identifies the kind of data compression process that it uses to make it more
compatible and portable through the Internet. This type of image file can
support 16.7 million colors that is why it is suitable for use when working
with full color photographic images. Unfortunately, it does not support
transparency and therefore, images of this file type can be difficult to
integrate in terms of blending with other materials or elements in your
document. But if you are looking for the best quality image to integrate with
your document then this is the image file type for you. .JPG does not work
well on lettering, line drawings, or simple graphics. .JPG images are
relatively small in file size.
b. .GIF
          This stands for Graphics Interchange Format. This type of image file
is capable of displaying transparencies. Therefore, it is good for blending
with other materials or elements in your document. It is also capable of
displaying simple animation. Apparently, this may not be too useful on a
printed document but if you are sending documents electronically or
through email, or even post documents into a website, then this could be
quite impressive. The downside is that it can only support up to 256 colors
so it is good mostly on logos and art decors with very limited, and generally
solid colors. .GIF is much better for logos, drawings, small text, black and
white images, or low-resolution files.

Example of a .gif format picture.

c. .PNG 
           This is pronounced as “ping“. It stands for Portable Network
Graphics. It was built around the capabilities of .GIF. Its development was
basically for the purpose of transporting images on the Internet at faster
rates. It is also good with transparencies but unlike .GIFs, it does not
support animation but it can display up to 16 million colors, so image quality
for this image file type is also remarkably improved. .PNG allows the
control of the transparency level or opacity of images.
Example of .png format picture.

2.  Clip Art


          This is generally a .GIF type; line art drawings or images used as
generic representation for ideas and objects that you might want to
integrate in your document. Microsoft Word has a library of clip arts that is
built in or can be downloaded and used freely. There are still other clip arts
that you can either purchase or freely download and use that come from
third-party providers.

Clip Art Icon in Microsoft Office 2010.


3.  Shapes
          These are printable objects or materials that you can integrate in
your document to enhance its appearance or allow you to have some tools
to use for composing and representing ideas or messages. If you are
designing the layout for a poster or other graphic material for advertising,
you might find this useful.
Shapes Icon under the Insert ribbon tab.
4. Smart Art
          Generally, these are predefined sets of different shapes grouped
together to form ideas that are organizational or structural in nature. If you
want to graphically represent an organization, process, relationships, or
flow for infographic documents, then you will find this easy and handy to
use.

5.  Chart
Another type of material that you can integrate in your Word document that
allows you to represent data characteristics and trends. This is quite useful
when you are preparing reports that correlate and present data in a
graphical manner. You can create charts that can be integrate in your
document either directly in Microsoft Word or imported from external files
like Microsoft Excel.
Chart – Used to illustrate and compare data.
6. Screenshot
Sometimes, creating reports or manuals for training or procedures will
require the integration of a more realistic image of what you are discussing
on your report or manual. Nothing can get you a more realistic image than
a screenshot. Microsoft Word even provides a snipping tool for your screen
shots so you can select and display only the part that you exactly like to
capture on your screen.
III. Image Placement

Layout of  text wrapping options.

A. In Line with Text

This is the default setting for images that are inserted or integrated in
your document. It treats your image like a text font with the bottom side
totally aligned with the text line. This setting is usually used when you need
to place your image at the beginning of a paragraph. When placed between
texts in a paragraph or a sentence, it distorts the overall appearance and
arrangement of the texts in the paragraph because it will take up the space
it needs vertically, pushing whole lines of texts upward.

B. Square

This setting allows the image you inserted to be placed anywhere


with the paragraph with the text going around the image in a square pattern
like frame.

C. Tight

This is almost the same as the Square setting, but here the text “hug”
or conforms to the general shape of the image. This allows you to get a
more creative effect on your document. This setting can mostly be
achieved if you are using an image that supports transparency like a .GIF
or .PNG file.

D. Through

This setting allows the text on your document to flow even tighter taking the
contours and shape of the image. Again, this can be best used with .GIF
or .PNG type of image.

E. Top and Bottom

This setting pushes the texts away vertically to the top and/or the bottom of
the image so that the image occupies a whole text line on its own.

F. Behind Text

This allows your image to be dragged and placed anywhere on your


document but with all the texts floating in front of it. It effectively makes
your image look like a background.

G. In Front of Text

As it suggests, this setting allows your image to be placed right on top of


the text as if your image was dropped right on it. That means whatever part
of the text you placed the image on, it will be covered by the image.

What is a Spreadsheet Software?


• allows users to organize data in rows an columns and perform calculations on the
data
• These rows and columns collectively are called worksheet

Examples of Spreadsheet Software:


• LibreOffice Calc
• OpenOffice.org Calc
• Google Sheets
• Apple iWork Numbers
• Kingsoft Office Spreadsheets
• StarOffice Calc
• Microsoft Excel

INTRODUCTION TO SPREADSHEETS
Microsoft Excel 2010 is the spreadsheet program in Microsoft Office 2010.
A spreadsheet is a grid of rows and columns in which you enter text, numbers, and the
results of calculations.
In Excel, a computerized spreadsheet is called a worksheet. The file used to store
worksheets is called a workbook.

STARTING EXCEL
You start Excel from the Start menu in Windows. Click the Start button, click All Programs,
click Microsoft Office, and then click Microsoft Excel 2010.
The Excel program window has the same basic parts as all Office programs: the title bar, the
Quick Access Toolbar, the Ribbon, Backstage view, and the status bar.

EXPLORING THE PARTS OF THE WORKBOOK

 Each workbook contains three worksheets by default. The worksheet displayed in the
work area is the active worksheet.
 Columns appear vertically and are identified by letters. Rows appear horizontally and
are identified by numbers.
 A cell is the intersection of a row and a column. Each cell is identified by a unique cell
reference.
 The cell in the worksheet in which you can type data is called the active cell.
 The Name Box, or cell reference area, displays the cell reference of the active cell.
 The Formula Bar displays a formula when a worksheet cell contains a calculated
value.
 A formula is an equation that calculates a new value from values currently in a
worksheet.
OPENING AN EXISTING WORKBOOK
 Opening a workbook means loading an existing workbook file from a drive into the
program window.
 To open an existing workbook, you click the File tab on the Ribbon to display
Backstage view, and then click Open in the navigation bar. The Open dialog box
appears.

SAVING A WORKBOOK
 The Save command saves an existing workbook, using its current name and save
location.
 The Save As command lets you save a workbook with a new name or to a new
location.

MOVING THE ACTIVE CELL IN A WORKSHEET


The easiest way to change the active cell in a worksheet is to move the pointer to the cell
you want to make active and click.
You can display different parts of the worksheet by using the mouse to drag the scroll box in
the scroll bar to another position.
You can also move the active cell to different parts of the worksheet using the keyboard or
the Go To command.

KEYS FOR MOVING THE ACTIVE CELL IN A WORKSHEET


SELECTING A GROUP OF CELLS
 A group of selected cells is called a range. The range is identified by its range
reference, for example, A3:C5.
 In an adjacent range, all cells touch each other and form a rectangle.
 To select an adjacent range, click the cell in a corner of the range, drag the
pointer to the cell in the opposite corner of the range, and release the mouse
button.
 A nonadjacent range includes two or more adjacent ranges and selected
cells.
 To select a nonadjacent range, select the first adjacent range or cell, press
the Ctrl key as you select the other cells or ranges you want to include, and
then release the Ctrl key and the mouse button.

ENTERING DATA IN A CELL


 Worksheet cells can contain text, numbers, or formulas.
-Text is any combination of letters and numbers and symbols.
-Numbers are values, dates, or times.
-Formulas are equations that calculate a value.
 You enter data in the active cell.

CHANGING DATA IN A CELL


 You can edit, replace, or clear data.
 You can edit cell data in the Formula Bar or in the cell. The contents of the
active cell always appear in the Formula Bar.
 To replace cell data, select the cell, type new data, and press the Enter button
on the Formula Bar or the Enter key or the Tab key.
 To clear the active cell, you can use the Ribbon, the keyboard, or the mouse.

SEARCHING FOR DATA


 The Find command locates data in a worksheet, which is particularly helpful
when a worksheet contains a large amount of data. You can use the Find
command to locate words or parts of words.
 The Replace command is an extension of the Find command. Replacing data
substitutes new data for the data that the Find command locates.
FIND AND REPLACE OPTIONS

ZOOMING A WORKSHEET
 You can change the magnification of a worksheet using the Zoom controls on
the status bar.
 The default magnification for a workbook is 100%.
 For a closer view of a worksheet, click the Zoom In button or drag the Zoom
slider to the right to increase the zoom percentage.
ZOOM DIALOG BOX AND CONTROLS

PREVIEWING AND PRINTING A WORKSHEET


 You can print a worksheet by clicking the File tab on the Ribbon, and then
clicking Print in the navigation bar to display the Print tab.
 The Print tab enables you to choose print settings.
 The Print tab also allows you to preview your pages before printing.

CLOSING A WORKBOOK AND EXITING EXCEL


 You can close a workbook by clicking the File tab on the Ribbon, and then
clicking Close in the navigation bar. Excel remains open.
 To exit the workbook, click the Exit command in the navigation bar.

CREATING AN EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION

1. Minimize: Keep slides counts to a minimum to maintain a clear message and to


keep the audience attentive. Remember that the presentation is just a visual aid.
Most information should still come from the reporter.

2.Clarity: Avoid being to fancy by using font style that is easy to read. Make sure
that it is also big enough to be read by the audience. Once you start making your
presentation, consider how big the screen is during your report.

3.Simplicity: Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize the information on the


screen to have your audience focus on what the speaker is saying than on reading
the slide. Limit the content to six lines and seven words per line. This is known as the
6 x 7 rule.

4. Visual: Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many to distract the
audience. In addition, instead of using table of data, use charts and graphs.

5. Consistency: Make your design uniform. Avoid having different font styles and
backgrounds.

6. Contrast: Use a light font on dark background or vice versa. This is done so that it
is easier to read. In most instances, it is easier to read on screen if the background is
dark. This is due to the brightness of the screen.

Now that you know the tips, you are now ready to create the presentation for your
bazaar result. But before that, identify whether the following slides is an example of
a good or bad slide. Draw 😊 for a good slide and ☹ for a bad slide in the space
provided before each slide.

USING HYPERLINKS IN MICROSOFT POWERPOINT

Using hyperlinks in your presentation is an easy way to navigate slides during your
presentation.

1. In Normal view, select the text, shape, or picture that you want to use as a
hyperlink.

2. On the Insert tab, in the Links group, click Hyperlink.

3. In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, under Link to, click Place in This Document.

Link Options:

 Existing File or Web Page- creates a hyperlink to a website or a local file


saved in your hard drive. Just browse your file in the dialog box or type the
