UNIT 1 Lesson 1
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) - is the use of existing digital technologies
to help each and every individual, business, and organization with the use of information.
- deals with anything that stores, retrieves, manages, communicates, transmits, and collects
information through digital form.
- aims to teach learners the knowledge and skills on the use of information and
communications technology as a tool for curating, contextualizing, collaborating, and
creating content and experiences for learning in professional tracks.
Two broad types of ICT:
Traditional Computer-based Technologies - are the common things you do on a personal
computer, maybe at work or in your home.
Digital Communications Technologies - is the communication of data by electronic means,
allowing people to share information digitally.
Convergent Technologies - is the tendency of different technological systems to evolve
toward performing similar task as technology changes.
Examples:
⚫ Telecommunications
⚫ Network
⚫ Media
⚫ Gadgets
⚫ Social Media Sites
⚫ Robots
Assistive Media - is an internet-based audio hearing service aimed to help people with

UNIT 1 Lesson 1

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) - is the use of existing digital technologies to help each and every individual , business , and organization with the use of information.

  • deals with anything that stores , retrieves, manages, communicates , transmits , and collects information through digital form.
  • aims to teach learners the knowledge and skills on the use of information and communications technology as a tool for curating , contextualizing , collaborating , and creating content and experiences for learning in professional tracks. Two broad types of ICT: Traditional Computer-based Technologies - are the common things you do on a personal computer, maybe at work or in your home. Digital Communications Technologies - is the communication of data by electronic means, allowing people to share information digitally. Convergent Technologies - is the tendency of different technological systems to evolve toward performing similar task as technology changes. Examples: ⚫ Telecommunications ⚫ Network ⚫ Media ⚫ Gadgets ⚫ Social Media Sites ⚫ Robots Assistive Media - is an internet-based audio hearing service aimed to help people with disability in visual and/ or hearing.

Online Systems - are made for users to obtain easy access through computers or electronic devices by the use of the internet. Examples:

  1. Online Enrollment System - lets you input data such as your personal information, preferred course, subject and schedule.
  2. Student Portal - this allow students to view grades, check for school or university announcement, and contact their institution’s staff online.
  3. Online Shopping System - it is where you can purchase a product of your choice online by creating an account on their website, choosing the products and putting it in your cart, and paying through the use of debit or credit cards. Online Safety, Security, Ethics, and Etiquette (OSSEE) Online Safety - it is the knowledge of minimizing the user’s sharing of personal and private information on any social media platform. It also aims to prevent a user from committing cybercrimes. Security - its objective is to stablish rules and measures to be used against attacks over the internet. Since the internet represents an unsecured platform for exchanging information and opinions, it poses a high risk of intrusion and fraud such as phishing. Ethics - simply refers to a person’s behavior or moral principles when interacting with other netizens or while online. Incidents of cyberlibel and cyberbullying become rampant as the internet and the virtual self normalizes. Etiquette - are unspoken rules or polite behavior when communicating and working through the internet Examples: ⚫ Think before you click/ send - to prevent or to avoid arguing with other people, think before you send your message. ⚫ Do not waste the time of others - refrain from posting or sending chain messages, hoaxes, bulky emails, and other useless information. ⚫ Do not send messages that can be threatening or hurtful - sarcasm is an art but not all the time. Choose the person whom you will be sarcastic to. Be careful of the language

Mail Merge and Label Generation

Mail Merge – is a feature in Word where you can merge boilerplate (such as form letter) information with variable information (such as a database of names and addresses of customers). Three main components of mail merge:

  1. Main Document – contains the boilerplate information: text and graphics. It also determines the format of the resulting merged document (e.g., form letter, envelopes, or labels).
  2. Data Source – contains the variable information (e.g., list of names and addresses).
  3. Merged Document – contains the combination of boilerplate text and variable information. Steps on performing Mail Merge:
  4. Open or Create the Main Document.
  1. Open or Create the Data Source.
  2. Edit the Main Document.
  3. Perform the Merge.
    • Under Mailings option, click Start Mail Merge then choose Letters (depending on the type of document).
    • Next, you may create a New List or Use an Existing List. (Since you already have a source document, you may choose Use and Existing List).
  • After inserting all the needed variable from the merge field, you may check the preview of the document.

Custom Animations and Timing

Four different kinds of animation effects in PowerPoint.

  1. Entrance Effects – For example, you can make an object fade gradually into focus, fly onto the slide from an edge, or bounce into view.
  2. Exit Effects – These effects include making an object fly off of the slide, disappear from view, or spiral off of the slide.
  1. Emphasis Effects – Examples of these effects include making an object shrink or grow in size, change color, or spin on its center.
  2. Motion Paths – you can use these effects to make an object move up or down, left or right, or in a star or circular pattern (among other effects).

Hyperlinking in Presentations

Hyperlink – is a connection from one slide to another slide in the same presentation (such as a hyperlink to a custom show) or to slide in another presentation, an e-mail address, a Web page, or a file.
