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.
 What is Computer?

Computer- an electronic device for

storing and processing data, typically in
binary form, according to instructions
given to it in a variable program.
What is 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.
What is 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.
 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
What is 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.
The different online platforms of World
Wide Web:

Web 3.0 – this platform is all about semantic
3.

web.
 – Aims to have machines (or servers) understand
the user’s preferences to be able to deliver web
content.
What is 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
What is 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.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

 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.

FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

 7.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.

of technologies to create a new single device.
1. Convergence
2. Social Media

that enables web users web users to create ,
co-create, discuss modify, and exchange user
generated content.

 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.
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
MOBILE OS
• Windows phone OS - A closed source and proprietary
operating system developed by Microsoft.
MOBILE OS

• Symbian - the original smartphone OS.

Used by Nokia devices
MOBILE OS
• WebOS- originally used in smartphone;
now in smart TVs.
Pocket PCs
 some examples of current Pocket PCs with GPS integrated are the Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox
N560, a high-end Pocket PC with a VGA screen and an integrated SiRF Star III GPS; the HTC
TyTN, a small communicator with integrated slide in keyboard; the HP hw6945 and HP iPAQ
hw6515 with integrated thumb-board, GPS and GSM/
4. Assistive Media - is
a non- profit service

 -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.
