Information and
Communication
Technologies
Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) deals with the use of
different communication technologies
such as mobile phones, telephone,
Internet, etc. to locate, save, send and
edit information.
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.
• According to 2013 edition of
Measuring the Information Society by the
International Telecommunication Union,
there are 106.8 cellphones per 100
Filipinos in the year 2012.
• 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.
• Time magazines declared
Makati City, Philippines-Rank
1 as the “Selfiest Cities around
the world, and Rank 9 is Cebu
City.

Assignment

Session 2
What is World
Wide Web?
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.
• it 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.
Types of Web Page
WEB 1.0 / STATIC:

When the World Wide Web was invented,
most web pages were static. Static (also
known as flat page or stationary page) 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. This
is referred to as Web 1.0.
WEB 2.0: DYNAMIC WEB PAGES
Web 2.0 is the evolution of
Web 1.0 by adding dynamic web
pages—the user is able to see a
website differently than others.
Examples of Web 2.0 include
social networking sites, blogs,
wikis, video sharing sites,
hosted services, and web
applications.
Web 2.0 allows users to
interact with the page: instead of
just reading a page, the user may
be able to comment or create a
user account. Web 2.0 also allows
users to use web browsers instead
of just using their operating
system. Browsers can now be used
for their user interface, application
software (or web applications), and
even for file storage.
Most websites
that we visit today
are Web 2.0.
Comparison between Static and
Dynamic Webpage
Static Dynamic
Assignment
• Conduct a research of at
least 10 websites and
classify them as static or
dynamic and give your
reason on classifying it.
Session 3
What is Web
2.0 or Dynamic
Webpage?
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
1. Folksonomy. It allows users to categorize and
classify/arrange information using freely chosen
keywords (e.g., tagging). Popular social networking
sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use
tags that start with the pound sign (#). This is also
referred to as hashtag.
2. Rich User Experience. Content is dynamic and is

responsive to user’s input. An example would be a
website that shows local content. In the case of social
networking sites, when logged on, your account is
used to modify what you see in their website.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
3. Long Tail. Services are offered on demand rather than
on a one-time purchase. In certain cases, time-based
pricing is better than file-size-based pricing or vice
versa. This is synonymous to subscribing to a data plan
that charges you for the amount of time you spent in the
Internet, or a data plan that charges you for the amount
of bandwidth you used.
4. 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 comment,
reviews, and evaluation. Some websites allow readers
to comment on an article, participate in a poll, or review
a specific product (e.g., Amazon.com, online stores).
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
5. Software as a Service. Users will subscribe to a
software only when needed rather than purchasing them.
This is a cheaper option if you do not always need to use
a software. For instance, Google Docs is a free web-
based application that allows the user to create and edit
word processing and spreadsheet documents online.
When you need a software, like a Word Processor, you
can purchase it for a one-time huge amount and install it
in your computer and it is yours forever. Software as a
service allows you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
6. Mass Participation. It 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.
WEB 3.0 AND THE
SEMANTIC WEB
The Semantic Web is a movement led by
the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
The W3C standard encourages web

developers to include semantic content
in their web pages.
According to the W3C, “The
Semantic Web provides a common
framework that allows data to be shared
and reused across application,
enterprise, and community boundaries.”
The aim of Web 3.0 is to have

machines (or servers) understand the
user’s preferences to be able to deliver
web content specifically targeting the
user.
Several problems of Web 3.0
1. Compatibility
HTML files and current web browsers could not support
Web 3.0.
2. Security
The user’s security is also in question since the machine is
saving his or her preferences.
3. Vastness
The World Wide Web already contains billions of web
pages.
4. Vagueness
Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small”
would depend on the user.
5. 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.
Is semantic web
become
feasible in the
near future?
Comparison between Dynamic
and Semantic Webpage
Dynamic Semantic
Assignment
• Conduct a research and
analyze at least three
websites and create a brief
report on how web 3.0
feature were emphasize on
this websites.
Session 4
• How many of you used social
media websites?
• What is the most popular
website they used?
• How many of you used
Android, iOS or Windows
phones?
TRENDS IN ICT
1. Convergence
Technological convergence is the synergy of
technological advancements to work on a similar
goal or task.
2. Social Media
Social media is a website, application, or online
channels that enable 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 allow you to connect with other people
with the same interests or background.
b. Bookmarking Sites. These are sites that allow you to store and manage links
to various websites and resources.
c. Social News. These are sites that allow users to post their own news items or
links to other news sources.
d. Media Sharing. These are sites that allow you to upload and share media
content like images, music, and video.
e. Microblogging. These are sites that focus on short updates from the user.
f. Blogs and Forums. These websites allow users to post their 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 tasks that were originally found in personal
computers.
KINDS OF OPERATING SYSTEMS:
a. iOS
b. Android
c. Blackberry OS
d. Windows Phone OS
e. Symbian
f. WebOS
g. Windows Mobile
4. Assistive Media
Assistive media is a nonprofit service
designed to help people who have visual
and reading impairments. A database of
audio recordings is used to read to the user.
Why do you think
microblogging platform
become popular when
regular blogging
platforms already exist?
What are the
latest trends in
ICT today?
Make a poster that
shows how trends
of ICT can be used
for life advantage.
