Information and Communication Technology (ICT) often deals with the use of different technologies such as mobile phones, telephones, computers, Internet, and other devices, as well as software and applications to locate, save, send, and manipulate information. Empowering ICT is important for its innovative uses to impact our daily lives. It has affected our ways of communicating, made our lives more convenient, and assisted countries towards their modernization plans. Thus, there is a need to create a foundation of understanding in the world of ICT. ICT has greatly contributed to how easy our lives have been today. Our gadgets have become part of our necessity that we check on them after we wake up. It made communication easier. We can use cellular phones that are designed for communicating with other people even they are miles away from us. It has also assisted us in our work since there are internet-based jobs. It has revolutionized our education and the modernization of our economy. ICT IN THE PHILIPPINES Philippines is dubbed as the “ICT Hub of Asia” because of the huge growth of ICT-related jobs, one of which is BPO, Business Process Outsourcing, or call centers. In the data gathered by the Annual Survey of Philippines Business and Industries in 2010, the ICT industry shares 19.3% of the total employee population. When the internet was fully commercialized in 1995, it has tremendously impacted culture and commences, including the rise of near-instant communication by email, instant messaging, telephony (Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP), two-way interactive video calls, and the World Wide Web with its discussion forums, blogs, social networking, and online shopping sites. Internet is the global system of interconnected computers networks that uses the internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices. THE WORLD WIDE WEB The World Wide Web is 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. Tim-Berners Lee invented it. The World Wide Web browser software, such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer/Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome, let users navigate from one webpage to another via the hyperlinks embedded in the documents. These documents may also contain any combination of computer data, including graphics, sounds, text, video, multimedia, and interactive content that runs while the user is interacting with the page. The Web has enabled individuals and organizations to publish ideas and information to a potentially large audience online at greatly reduced expense and time daily. TYPE OF WEB PAGES Web 1.0 or The Web. It is the first stage of the World Wide Web evolution. It is a flat stationary page since it cannot be manipulated by the user. Web 2.0 or The Social Web. Allow users to interact with the page, the user may be able to comment or create an account. Most website that we visit today is Web 2.0. Web 3.0 or Semantic Web. The semantic web provides a framework that allows data to be shared and reuse to deliver web content specifically targeting the user. Search Engine will learn about you and your habits from each search you perform and will gather details about you from your previous activity like likes and social posting and present the answer per your preferences. COMPARISON OF WEB 1.0, WEB2.0, AND WEB 3.0 CRITERIA WEB 1.0 WEB2.0 WEB 3.0 Communication Broadcast Interactive Engaged/Invested Information Static/Read-only Dynamic Portable and Personal Focus Organization Community Individual Content Ownership Sharing Immersion Interaction Web Forms Web Application Smart Applications Search Directories Tags/Keywords Context/Relevance Metrics Page Views Cost per Click User Engagement Advertising Banners Interactive Behavioral Technologies HTML/FTP Flash/Java/XML RDF/RDFS/OWL FEATURES OF WEB 2.0 FEATURES WEB 2.0 Folksonomy Allow users to collectively classify and find information using freely chosen keywords (e.g., “tagging” by Facebook). Tagging uses the pound sign #, often referred to as hashtag. Rich User Experience Dynamic content that is responsive to user input (e.g., a user can “click” on an image to enlarge it or find out more information) User Participation The owner of a website is not the only one who can put content. Others can place content on their own using comments, reviews, and evaluations. Long Tail Services that are offered on demand rather than on a one-time purchase. This is synonymous with subscribing to a data plan that charges you for the time you spent on the internet, or a data plan that charges you for bandwidth you used. Software as a Service Users will subscribe to software only when needed rather than purchasing them. ONLINE PLATFORMS AND SITES Because of the worldwide capacity of Web 2.0, it has helped to create dynamic online platform sites. Online Platform is a specially developed platform using internet technology. Online Platforms have revolutionized access to information. Online platforms currently included, but are not limited to: ❖ Presentation or Visualization Platform allows you to present and share presentations, infographics, and videos with other people. It is used to communicate information clearly and efficiently. ❖ Cloud Computing Platform is also called “The Cloud”. It is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet. Instead of using your computer’s hard drive, you store and access your data and programs over the internet. ❖ File Management Platform is used for storing, naming, sorting, and handling computer files. Allows you to convert and manage files without downloading them in the software tool. ❖ Mapping Platform is a transformation taking the points of one space into the points of the same or another space. Uses GPS to detect the location and is used for navigation. ❖ Social Media Platform is a computer-meditated tool that allows a large group of people to create, share or exchange information, interest and the information shared can be in the form of ideas, pictures, videos, or anything that you want to create and share to virtual communities. It can be in the following platforms: Social Networks. These sites allow you to connect with other people with the same interests or background. Bookmarking Sites. These are sites that allow you to store and manage links to various websites and resources. Social News. These are sites that allow users to post their news items or links to other news sources. Media Sharing. These are sites that allow you to upload and share media content like images, music, and video. Media sharing sites can be specific for video sharing, photo sharing, slide sharing, social bookmarking, and gaming. Microblogging. These are sites that focus on short updates from the user. Those who subscribe to the user will be able to receive these updates. Post is brief that range typically from 140-200 characters. Blogs and Forums. These websites allow users to post their content. Other users can comment on the said topic. ACTIVITY 1: Evaluate whether they are Web 1.0, Web 2.0, or Web 3.0. Write your answer on one whole sheet of paper. 1. Amazon.co.uk 6.

Topic: NETIQUETTES Learning Competency: Apply online safety, security, ethics, and etiquette standards and practice n the use of ICTs as it would relate to their specific professional tracks. Learning Target: To identify oneself the benefits of netiquette. References: https://www.scribd.com/document/471229574/SHS-Emp-Tech-Q1-M2 Concept Notes: CORE RULES OF NETIQUETTE Netiquette, or network etiquette, is a concern with the “proper” manner of communication in the online environment. Whenever you communicate in the virtual, consider the following “rules”, adapted from Virginia Shea’s Core Rule of Netiquette. Rule 1: Remember the Human When communicating electronically, whether through email, instant message, discussion post, text, or another method, practice the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you”. Remember, real people, read your written words, all deserving of respectful communication. Before you press, “send” or “submit”, ask yourself, “Would I be okay with this if someone else had written t?” Rule 2: Adhere to the Same Standards Behavior Online that You Follow in Real Life While it can be argued that standards of behavior may be different in the virtual world, they certainly should not be lower. You should do your best to act within the laws and ethical manners of society whenever you inhabit “cyberspace”. Would you behave rudely to someone face-to-face? On most occasions, no. Neither should you behave this way in the virtual world. Rule 3: Know Where You Are in Cyberspace “Netiquette varies from domain to domain.” (Shea, 1994) Depending on where you are in the virtual world, the same written communication can be acceptable in one area, where it might be considered inappropriate in another. What you text to a friend may not be appropriate in an email to a classmate or colleague. Can you think of another example? Rule 4: Respect Other People’s Time and Bandwidth Electronic communication takes time: time to read and time in which to respond. Most people today lead busy lives, just like you do, and don’t have time to read or respond to frivolous emails or discussion posts. As a virtual world communicator, it is your responsibility to make sure that the time spent reading your words isn’t wasted. Make you written communication meaningful and to the point, without extraneous text or superfluous graphics or attachment that may take forever to download. Rule 5: Make Yourself Look Good Online One of the virtual world’s best things is the lack of judgment associated with your physical appearance, the sound of your voice, or the clothes you wear (unless you post a video of yourself singing Karaoke in a clown outfit). The quality of writing will judge you, so keep the following tips in mind: ✓ Always check for spelling and grammar errors ✓ Know what you are talking about and state it clearly ✓ Be pleasant and polite Rule 6: Share Expert Knowledge The internet offers its users many benefits; one is the ease with which information can be shared or accessed, and in fact, this “information sharing” capability is one of the reasons the Internet was founded. So in the spirit of the Internet’s “founding fathers”, share what you know! When you post a question and receive intelligent answers, share the results with others. Are you an expert at something? Post resources and references for your subject matter. You have recently expanded your knowledge about a subject that might be of interest to others. Share that as well. Rule 7: Help Keep Flame Wars Under Control What is meant by “flaming” or “flame-wars”? “Flaming is what people do when they express a strongly held opinion without holding back any emotion.” (Shea, 1994) As an example, think of the kinds of passionate comments you might read on a sports blog. While “flaming” is not necessarily forbidden in virtual communication, “flame-wars”, when two or three people exchange angry posts between one another, must be controlled, or the camaraderie of the group could be compromised. Don’t feed the flames; extinguish them by guiding the discussion back to a more productive direction. Rule 8: Respect Other People’s Privacy Depending on what you are reading in the virtual world, be it an online class discussion forum, Facebook page, or an email, you may be exposed to some private or personal information that needs to be handled with care. Perhaps someone is sharing some medical news about a loved one or discussing a situation at work. What do you think would happen if this information “got in the wrong hands?” Embarrassment? Hurt feelings? Loss of a job? Just as you expect others to respect your privacy, so you should respect the privacy of others. Be sure to err on the side of caution when deciding to discuss or not discuss virtual communication. Rule 9: Don’t Abuse Your Power Like in face-to-face situations, there are people in cyberspace who have more “power” than others. They have more expertise in technology or have years of experience in particular skills or subject matter. Maybe you possess all of this knowledge and power! Just remember: knowing more than others do or having more power than others may have does not give you the right to take advantage of anyone. Think of Rule 1: Remember the human. Rule 10: Be Forgiving of Other People’s Mistake Not everyone has the same amount of experience working in the virtual world. And not everyone knows the rule of Netiquette. At some point, you will see a stupid question, read an unnecessarily long response, or encounter misspelled words; when this happens, practice kindness and forgiveness as you would hope someone would do if you had committed the same offense. If it’s a minor “offense”, you might want to let it slide. If you feel compelled to respond to a mistake, do so in private email rather than in a public forum. Shea, V.(1994). Core Rules of Netiquette. Retrieved from http://coursedesign.colostate.edu/obj/corerulesnet.html ACTIVITY 1: Make a reflection on the importance of using Netiquette in your daily life. What benefits can you get from it? How can you promote the use of these regulations? Write your answer on one whole sheet of paper. How can Netiquette be beneficial to me? How can I promote Netiquette? ACTIVITY 2: Identify and write the rule number and its rules name where it belongs. 1. Always check for spelling and grammar errors. 2. Forgiving someone who made a minor mistake. 3. Controlling your strong emotion to avoid conflict. 4. Having a proper manner and good manners in a virtual world. 5. Do not take advantage on anyone in a virtual world.  Empowerment Technology 11 1st Semester, Week 3 S.Y. 2021-2022 Michelle Kate Anguay 09266596114/ [email protected] FB Account: Michelle Kate Anguay DATE TASK Parent’s Signature Read and understand the Concept Notes.

Topic: ONLINE NAVIGATION Learning Competency: Use the internet as a tool for reliable research and information gathering to best achieve specific class objectives or address situational challenges. Learning Target: Identify search engines to use in the online navigation. References: https://www.scribd.com/document/471229570/SHS-Emp-Tech-Q1-M3 https://www.inspire.scot/blog/2016/11/11/top-12-best-search-engines-in-the-world238 Concept Notes: SEARCH ENGINES Search engines are software systems that are designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search result is generally presented in a line of results often referred to as search engine results pages. Examples of search engines are Baidu, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and the most recognize engine Google. Google is the most known and most used search engine in the world. According to Net Market Share, 74.54 percent of the Search Engine Market has been acquired by Google. STEPS IN ONLINE NAVIGATION 1. On your desktop, laptop, or smartphone, open the browser and search Google and type the word, phrase or thought you want to search. 2. On the right part of the window, click setting and the google search settings pop-up list will appear. 3. Type the keywords that you would like to search and click the Advanced Search button. You can search through all the words that you’ve typed, or you can narrow it down to specific words. RESEARCH SKILLS To achieved or access what you are looking for, you need to improve yourself. As the old saying goes, “Practice Makes Perfect”. Good research is a product of multiple and continuous research, here are some skills you can improve or adapt to:  1. Critical Thinking – as you search through the web, you must think very carefully about the information that you have gathered. Critical thinking involves the ability to reflect on the information presented to you. 2. Data Organizing – a good researcher can organize his/her collected data. As you collect those data be sure to track where specific information is gathered. 3. Research Presenting – part of your research is the actual writing, be creative and reflective in writing your search, explain every detail, and step into achieving your objective. Remember that not all searches are good ones, some are considered satirical or untrue. Here are some tips in identifying good searches from satirical research. 1) If the contents of the source are too impossible to happen, or too good to be true, then there must be something wrong. 2) If the site started as a false site for public figures such as TV personalities or political figures, then uploaded stories from different sources, it is a satirical one. 3) If the site is unfamiliar and continuously popping ads, then it is satirical. Example of Satirical News: a) The 2 years in K-12 Curriculum for Senior High School have been removed. b) President Duterte resigned as the leader of the Philippine nation. c) You can win 1 million pesos just by answering a given survey form. d) A certain actress/actor is alleged as pregnant being in another country for a long time. ACTIVITY: Identify the statement below what search engine is being defined or describe. Choose your answer inside the box. Write your answer on one whole sheet of paper. Chacha.com AOL Google Yandex Ask.com Bing Excite Yahoo WolframAplha DuckDuck Go Baidu Lycos 1. The best search engine in the world and it is also one of the most popular products from Google. Almost 70 percent of the Search Engine market has been acquired. The tech giant is always evolving and looking to improve the search engine algorithm to provide the best results to the end-user. Although it appears to be the biggest search engine, as of 2015 YouTube is now more popular than it (on desktop computers). 2. A search engine that is Microsoft’s answer to Google and it was launched in 2009. It is the default search engine in Microsoft’s web browser. They are always striving to make it a better search engine but it’s got a long way to go to give Google competition. 3. A search engine that has a recent report on netmarketshare.com that has a market share of 7.68 percent. Although a leader as a free email provider, this is declining significantly though with their recent acknowledgment that User Details & Passwords were hacked last year. 4. It is a search engine where Microsoft’s search engine provides different services including image, web, and video search along with maps. It introduced Places (Google’s equivalent is Google My Business), this is a great platform for business to submit their details to optimize their search results. 5. The most used search engine in China and was founded in Jan 2000 by Chinese Entrepreneur, Eric Xu. This web search is made to deliver results for websites, audio files, and images. It provides some other services including maps, news, cloud storage, and much more. 6. It is also among the top search engines. These are the guys that used to send out CD’s which you’d load onto your PC to install their browser and modem software. Once the pre-eminent player they now have a market share of 0.59 percent. Verizon Communication bought it for $4.4 billion. 7. A search engine founded in 1995, previously known as Ask Jeeves. Their key concept was to have search results based on a simple question + answer web format. It is a question & answer community where you can get the answers to your question and it integrates a large amount of archive data to answer your question. 8. It was started back in 1983 as Control Video Corporation. It was named America Online in 1991 and 2009 as AOL Inc. AOL is a global mass media company which is based in New York. The company also provides advertising services as AOL Advertising, AOL mail, and AOL Platform. 9. It is an online service portal that provides internet services like email, search engines, news, instant messaging, and weather updates. This also provides us with the latest trends, topics and search for phrases. 10. Because of this search engine dependency on archived and active user contributions, the results will not be as current as those you get in Google, Bing, and Yahoo. They’ve tried to counter where their resources don’t have the answer they take help from a third-party search engine. Interestingly they don’t name who this is. 11. It is a popular search engine known for protecting the privacy of users. Unlike Ask.com they are quite open about who they use to generate search results; they’ve partnered with Yahoo, Bing, and Yummly. It was founded back in 2008 by Gabriel Weinberg in California and its revenue comes from the Yahoo-Bing search alliance network and Affiliates. 12. It is a computational knowledge search engine that does not give the list of documents or web pages as search results. Results are based on facts & data about that query. Their mission statement is to make all systematic knowledge computable and broadly accessible. Launched in 2009, they now have a Pro solution designed with pricing for Students and Educators. 13. A search engine launched in 1997, is the most used search engine in Russia. It also has a great presence in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Turkey. It provides services like Yandex Maps, Yandex Music, online translator, Yandex Money, and many other services. 14. It has a good reputation in the search engine industry. Its key areas served are email, web hosting, social networking, and entertainment websites. 15. December 2016 UPDATE: this search engine ceased trading due to declining advertising revenues. It is a human-guided search engine and was founded in 2006. You can ask anything in its search box and you will be answered in real-time. It also provides mobile search and marketing services. You can also install its mobile apps on iPhone, iPad, and Android.  Empowerment Technology 11 1st Semester, Week 4 S.Y. 2021-2022 Michelle Kate Anguay 09266596114/ [email protected] FB Account: Michelle Kate Anguay DATE TASK Parent’s Signature Read and understand the Concept Notes.

Topic: USE IMAGE MANIPULATION TECHNIQUES Learning Competency: Use image manipulation techniques on existing images to change or enhance their current state to communicate a message for a specific purpose. CS_ICT11/12- ICTPT-Ie-f-7 Create an original or derivative ICT content using online creation tools, platforms, and applications to effectively communicate messages related to specific professional track. CS_ICT11/12-ICTPT-Ig- h-11 Learning Target: Use image manipulation techniques in creating a poster for an advertisement. Create an original graphic design using Canva Application. Concept Notes: Photo editing and designing software allow you to manipulate or edit images. To perform image manipulation, you need to have basic knowledge of image editing operations such as cutting, cropping, replacing, and more. For this, you need image editing software for image manipulation practices. The following are some examples of image editing software: Adobe Photoshop Gimp Canva ONLINE FORMATS FOR IMAGES AND TEXT Image file format refers to how data associated with the image will be stored. It can be compressed to decrease the file size of the image. There are two different compressions you can choose when enhancing your images: lossy and lossless compression. Lossy compression reduces file size by removing redundant information means that some data from the image file is lost. While Lossless compression retains values and manages to lower file size. Image resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image or the detail an image holds. It is identified by the height and the width of the image. A pixel is just one unit of the whole digital image it is the  smallest unit of an image. The higher the resolution, means that there more pixels per inch (PPI), resulting in more pixel information and creating a high-quality, crisp image. Common image file formats Name Extension Color Compression Common Uses Joint.jpg, 24- bit Lossy Used for Online photos and/or Photographic.jpeg artwork Experts Group Graphic.gif 8 – bit Lossless Animated graphics like Interchange banner ads, email images, and Format social media memes Portable.png Up to Lossless High-quality transparent web Network 24-bit graphics. Considered as the Graphics best image file type for web graphics. Tagged.tif, 24-bit lossless Primarily used in photography Image.tiff and desktop publishing. File Format SOME EXAMPLES OF IMAGE EDITING SOFTWARES Adobe Photoshop is software that is extensively used for raster image editing, graphic design, and digital art. It makes use of layering to allow for depth and flexibility in the design and editing process, as well as provide powerful editing tools, that when combined, are capable of just about anything. It was created by brothers Thomas and John Knoll in 1988. In 1989, John sold the program to Adobe Systems, which marketed it as “Photoshop.” Since then, the program has become the de facto industry standard for raster graphics editing. It is published for both macOS and Windows, but not Linux. GIMP is a cross-platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X, Windows, and more operating systems. It is free software; you can change its source code and distribute your changes. GIMP means "GNU Image Manipulation Program". It is free software to download at http://www.gimp.org/. GIMP was built for a Linux system, but it can also run on any platform like Windows and Mac OS. Canva is a graphic design tool that works to simplify the process. As such, an account can easily be created, and everything works either via a web browser or on iOS or Android apps. Canva allows for image editing and project-based learning using a simple drag-and-drop interface that works well even for younger students. From brainstorming as a group working collaboratively to individual project creation, it has lots of potential uses in the classroom. HOW TO USE CANVA 1. Install the canva application to your phone.

One of this application software are presentation software that you can use to create a slide show for your presentation. Some of the popular software that are available online for free or for purchase are WPS Office, LibreOffice, and MS-PowerPoint. HYPERLINK A hyperlink or simply a link, is a reference data that the reader can directly follow either by clicking or tapping. Hyperlinks are found in nearly all Web pages, allowing users to click their way from one page to another. In text hyperlinks are often color blue and underlined. When you move the cursor over a hyperlink, whether it is text, button or an image, https://bit.ly/315TQnf the arrow cursor should be change to a small hand pointing to the link. HYPERLINKS HAVE BASIC PARTS: 1. The Address – can be webpage, email address, or other location they are linking. 2. The Display – can be picture or shape. Example: https://www.microsoft.com - address microsoft - display text https://www.microsoft.com - address at the same time display text INTEGRATING IMAGES In Microsoft word processing, you can do many things to make your documents look good and presentable. One of its functions is to integrate image.

Electronic spreadsheet refers to a collection of text and numbers laid out in a Photo Credit: https://bit.ly/36Gzsdv rectangular grid. It is an application program commonly used for budgeting, inventory management, decision making, forecasting and other finance-related tasks. It replaces the traditional financial modeling tools, the accountant’s columnar pad, pencil and calculator. It a spreadsheet program, data and formulas used to calculate those data are entered into ledge-like forms (Spreadsheets or Worksheets) for analysis, tracking, planning, or “what-if” evaluations of the impact of real or proposed changes on an economic strategy. A great free alternative spreadsheet program is LibreOffice Calc, and OpenOffice spreadsheet program. ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS ARITHMETIC OPERATORS /SYMBOLS OPERATION EXAMPLE + (Plus Sign) Addition =A1+A2 - (Minus Sign) Subtraction =A1-A2 * (Asterisk) Multiplication =A1*A2 / (Forward Slash) Division =A1/A2 Raises a no. to a ^ (Exponentiation) power =3^2 - (Negation) Negative -11 % (Percent Sign) Percentage =90% Formula – is an equation that performs operation on worksheet data. A formula in Microsoft Excel always begins with an equal sign (=). Common Error Values That You Can Encounter from Faulty Formulas 1. #DIV/0! - appears when entering a formula that performs explicit division by zero (0), using a reference to a blank cell or to a cell that contains zero as the divisor in a formula or function that performs division or running a macro that uses a function or a formula that returns the #DIV/0! error. The solution is to make sure that the divisor in the function or formula is not zero (0) or blank or change the cell reference in the formula to another cell that does not contain a zero or a blank value. 2. ##### - appears when the column is not wide enough to display the content and/or dates and times are negative numbers. The solution is to increase the column width. 3. #NAME? - Appears when the formula refers to a range name that doesn't exist in the worksheet. This error value appears when you type the wrong range name or fail to enclose in quotation marks some text used in the formula, causing Excel to think that the text refers to a range name. 4. #N/A – appears when a) an inappropriate value was given for the lookup_value argument in the HLOOKUP, LOOKUP, MATCH, or VLOOKUP worksheet function, b) the VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, or MATCH worksheet function was used to locate a value in an unsorted table, c) an array formula (array formula: A formula that performs multiple calculations on one or more sets of values, and then returns either a single result or multiple results. Array formulas are enclosed between braces { } and are entered by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.) is using an argument that is not the same number of rows or columns as the range that contains the array formula, d) one or more required arguments were omitted from a built-in or custom worksheet function, e) a custom worksheet function that you use is not available and f) a macro that you run enters a function that returns #N/A. Solution is optionally, if error checking is turned on in Excel, click the button that appears next to the cell that displays the error , click Show Calculation Steps if it appears, and then click the resolution that is appropriate for your data. 5. #NULL! Appears most often when you insert a space (where you should have used a comma) to separate cell references used as arguments for functions. 6. #NUM! Appears when Excel encounters a problem with a number in the formula, such as the wrong type of argument in an Excel function or a calculation that produces a number too large or too small to be represented in the worksheet. 7. #REF! Appears when Excel encounters an invalid cell reference, such as when you delete a cell referred to in a formula or paste cells over the cells referred to in a formula. 8. #VALUE! Appears when you use the wrong type of argument or operator in a function, or when you call for a mathematical operation that refers to cells that contain text entries. For example, the formula =A1+B1, where A1 contains the string "Hello" and B1 contains the number 3, returns the #VALUE! error. ORDER OF OPERATIONS EXCEL FORMULAS MEANING =A12 Assigns the vale in cell A2 to the active cell. =10 +3^2 Assigns the sum of 10 + 9(or 19) to the active cell. =3*D5 or D5*3 or Assigns three times the contents of cell D5 to the active cell. =(3*D5) =50% * 20 Assigns the product of 0.50 times 20 (or 10) to the active cell. -(F3 * J25) Assigns the negative value of the product of the values contained in cells F3 and J25 to the active cell. =6 * (G5-P7) Assigns the product of 6 times the difference between the values contained in cells G5 and P7 to the active cell. =B4/D8-E3 * M10 +A3 Completes the following operations, from left to right: exponentiation ^F3 (A3^F3), then division (B4/D8 – E3 * M10) + (A3 ^F3). If cells A3=2, F3=4, E3=6, B4=3, M10=4, and D8=3, then Excel assigns the active cell the value 18; that is, 3/3 – 6 * 4 + 2 ^ 4 = -7 PERFORMANCE TASK: Create your own resume using word document.

Topic: BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GRAPHICS AND LAYOUT Learning Competency: Evaluate existing websites and online resources based on the principles of layout, graphic and visual message design. CS_ICT11/12-ICTPT-Ig-h-9 Learning Target: Evaluate existing websites and online resources based on the basic principle of graphics and layout. Concept Notes: Before we can produce a high-quality design project whether designing a website, designing a tarpaulin, creating banners or logos, we need to know and follow the basic principles and elements of design. You may ask why? Well, because people care about the way things look. Take a look at the picture below. The picture above shows a good web design website. It uses the different elements on its design properly. Not only that, the website designer also follows the rules in organizing and placing the different elements in making website design. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GRAPHICS AND LAYOUT The elements and principles of design are the building blocks of a successful beautiful design. The elements of design are the things or tools that make up a design while the Principles of design are what we do to those elements. THE ELEMENTS OF DESIGNS These are the materials or tools to make different designs or Arts. LINE – Lines are defined by points moving in space. It can create a sense of movement or direction in your design. Line can be smooth, rough, straight, curve, broken, thick or thin. Image: "Lines" by Alan R. Martinez SHAPE – A shape is an enclosed space, the boundaries of which are defined by other elements of art like lines, colors, values or textures. Shapes can be used to create patterns and draw the viewer’s attention. Image: "Shapes" by Alan R. Martinez DIRECTION – Applying motion to create the visual illusion of movement. Use horizontal direction for calmness, stability and tranquility while vertical direction for emotions of balance, formality and alertness. SIZE (SCALE) – Size is basically the relationship of the area occupied by one shape to that of another. Large elements mean more significant than the small one. Image:Scale " " by Alan R. Martinez TEXTURE – Texture refers to surface appearance of an object given by the dimensions, form, thickness, arrangement, and amount of its basic parts. COLOR – Color is light redirected off objects. It is used to create Image:Texture " " by Alan R. Martinez curiosity and emotions to the viewers. It has three main characteristics: hue (these are red, green, blue, etc.), value (lightness/ darkness), and intensity (saturation, or amount of pigment) and temperature (warm and cool). Image: "Color" by Alan R. Martinez THE PRINCIPLE OF DESIGN These are the rules that help you organize and place the materials to make arts or designs. 1. BALANCE – Balance in design is the state of equal relationship. It means equal distribution of visual weight in a design. It can be achieved by adjusting the visual weight of each element, in terms of size, color, textures, shapes or contrast. Balance in graphic design provides stability and structure to a design. Image: "balance" by Alan R. Martinez Different Kinds of Balance: ❖ Symmetrical balance occurs when identical weights are on equal sides of a composition. ❖ Asymmetrical balance occurs when a design has unequal graphic weight on either side, but those unequal graphics need to balance each other (un-evenly balanced). ❖ Radial balance occurs when the design elements swirl out from a central axis (emanating from a central point) 2. PROXIMITY – Proximity maintains a relationship between items that go together. It helps creates organization by grouping the same elements together or in close proximity. The elements should be connected visually. https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_c 3. ALIGNMENT – Alignment refers to lining up the elements of a design along the top, bottom, center or sides of the elements. It allows us to create order and organization in our design. The whole point of the alignment is that nothing in your design should look as if it were placed there randomly. 4. REPETITION, PATTERN, AND RHYTHM – Repetition duplicates the characteristics of similar elements to contribute to design consistency. It strengthens a design by tying together individual elements; pattern is a regular arrangement of alternated or repeated elements like shapes, lines or colors; rhythm--is a combination of elements repeated, but with variations. https://pixabay.com/illustrations/circle -district-colorful -structure - 2891368 / 5. CONTRAST – Contrast refers to the use of conflicting elements or colors while still remaining harmonious and unified when the artwork is viewed as a whole. It allows you to give emphasis to key elements in your design. 6. SPACE – It refers to the area that an object occupies. Both positive and negative space should be considered in graphic design. White space gives your design breathing room. https:/ www.apple.co ACTIVITY 1: Evaluate the design of Arngren website. Write your answer in a one whole sheet of paper.

Topics: Team Structure and Dynamics for ICT Content Online Collaborative Tools and Processes Learning Competency: Evaluate the quality, value, and appropriateness of peer’s existing or previously developed ICT content in relation to the theme or intended audience/ viewer of an ICT project. CS_ICT11/12-ICTPT-Ii-j-12 Learning Target: Evaluate the quality, value and appropriateness of the exist website. Concept Notes: COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF ICT CONTENT Collaboration is working together to achieve a goal. Synthesize previous learnings into an integrated ICT content through collaboration with classmate and teacher as both peer and partner. TEAM STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS FOR ICT CONTENT Online collaboration on an online environment allows people to generate content, reflection, review/modification, while making modifications process visible to others. A team of writers, editors, designers, team manager may work together even though they are located in different areas with the use of collaboration tools. The writers and designers can easily get feedback and approval of the content that they are working on. HOW TO DEVELOP ICT CONTENTS? There are many ways to develop ICT contents. You can get a team who are either staff or outsource. You can write the contents and design it yourself or you can hire a copywriter or a designer to do it for you. 1. Planning and conceptualizing the content – Generate content ideas and identify content opportunities based on the target audience. Have a clear plan of action, persons responsible, work required, timeframe and budget. Start with an outline or draw a mind map of all the sections required, as well as how they link together. There should be a title/headline, theme and topic, a link to the coverage, number of social shares earned, and number of linking roots domains earned.  2. Resources – Find online collaborative tools that you will need for the development of the ICT content, especially if the team is working from different places. Determine the best platform for your project. 3. Research for content – Identify the current trends, what competitors are doing, what formats are working, popular authors, and popular topics. 4. Audience profiling – Consider the demographics and psychographics of your intended audience. One method of audience profiling is demographics, which defines the population from A to E by determining the work that they do, where they live, their gender, age, income level, education level and knowledge level. Psychographics is the classification of people according to their attitudes, aspirations, values, tastes, and other psychological criteria. 5. Copywriting for ICT Projects – To write the web page of your website, you should be able to express yourself, write creatively and with passion to promote the advocacy you are promoting. Collect ideas, make outlines, decide on the message and make your writing interesting and positive. 6. Designing the Layout – Layout is the arrangement of elements (type, art and graphics. The layout should be easy to read, functional and organized. Design in good proportions, attractive color, clear font style/size with white breathing spaces, and columns to make reading easy. Art and Images will help to hold attention. Use good quality images that are appropriate with the target audience. 7. Developing and Constructing the ICT Project – Learn the skill of search engine optimization on how to rank highly with search engines. You also must understand web page architecture and how you will approach laying out your content. 8. Curating content – Process of gathering information relevant to a particular topic or area of interest. Use alerts to curate contents and RSS feeds. TEAM STRUCTURE A Project Team is a team whose members usually belong to different groups, functions and are assigned to activities for the same project. A team can be divided into sub-teams according to need. Usually project teams are only used for a defined period of time. Team structure consists of the persons involve in creating the contents of the project. Team structures may differ, depending on the organization or type of work involved. Below is an example of a team structure. ❖ Team Manager – or Content Strategist sets priorities, communicates with the executive team at the same time contributes/creates content. Keeps the team organized and motivated. ❖ Editorial Manager – implements the strategy. Maintains an editorial calendar and hires/guides content writers and content producers (video and audio creators) and designers. ❖ Content Curator – inputs ideas into the organization by searching the Web for any interesting news, developments and resources, regularly watching and listening for information and filtering the best material. ❖ Content Syndicator – does the process of sharing out the content with third-party sites or in social media. ❖ Analytics Expert – constantly looking at data to determine what is working. Checking whether the content is meeting the objectives and goals of the site and determining the reaction of the visitors or viewers. ❖ Website Manager – organizes and puts the contents onto the website, or uploads it to YouTube, or syndicate podcast on iTunes. Makes regular updates, monitoring, and assessment to ensure the website’s functionality and performance. The following positions may be combined with other positions: Writer – writes long or short form content. May be a staff or a hired copyrighter. Editor – edits the work of the Writer. May be a freelance or staff. Producer – creates video and audio. May be a freelance or staff.  Designer – creates and lays out visual content. May be a freelance or staff. ONLINE COLLABORATIVE TOOLS There are various collaborative tools that may be used for the development of ICT content. Collaborative online tools allow writers, editor, designers, and team manager to take part in collaborative work in real time. Collaborative tools support online collaboration. They are usually stand-alone applications that are “cloud” applications, which means that the content is backed up online. You should be online in order to participate in these applications. If you are offline, you may sync up once the internet is connected. BASIC EXAMPLES OF COLLABORATIVE TOOLS ARE: 1. Voicemail – is a computer-based system that allows users and subscribers to exchange personal voice messages; to select and deliver voice information; and to process transactions relating to individuals, organizations, products and services, using an ordinary telephone. 2. VoIP/Video Call – is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over internet protocol (IP) networks such as the Internet. 3. Email– is a method of exchanging digital messages between computer users. 4. Instant messaging – is a type of online chat which offers real-time text transmission over the Internet.

Topics: Project Management for ICT Content Curating Existing Content for Use on the Web Learning Competency: Share and showcase existing or previously developed material in the form of a collaboratively designed newsletter or blog site intended for a specific audience or viewer. CS_ICT11/12-ICTPT-Ii-j-13 Learning Target: To showcase previously developed material in the form of newsletter using word. Concept Notes 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR ICT CONTENT Content Management Systems (CMS) is a computer application that supports the creation and modification of digital content using a common user interface, thus usually supporting multiple users working in a collaborative environment. Some CMS built on top of separate content management frameworks like Java, Microsoft ASP.NET, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and Perl. Examples of CMS are: WordPress – is a free and open source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. Drupal – a free and open-sourced content-management framework written in PHP and distributed under the GNU Public License, provides a back-end framework for at least 2.2% of all Web Sites worldwide. – ranging from personal blogs to corporate, political and government sites. Joomla – is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. CURATING EXISTING CONTENT FOR USE ON THE WEB Content curation is the process of gathering information or content like blogs, news, images, audio, or videos, relevant to a topic or area of interest from different sources. Business as well as end users to share information, discover, publish, promote and analyses contents can use curation services. It uses alerts to curate contents and RSS (Rich Site Summary) feeds that uses a family of standard web feed formats to publish frequently updated information. Examples of Tools to Curate Content for Social Media or Newsletter: ❖ Pinterest – is a web and mobile application company that operates a photo-sharing website. Uses pins to curate images, items, moments or quote. ❖ Trapit – is a comprehensive content curation service for business that offers content discovery, curation, and publishing to web, iPad, and social channels through its web application. ❖ Feedly – is a news aggregator application for various web browsers and mobile devices. It compiles news feeds from a variety of online sources for the user to customize and share with others. It uses RSS feeds to bring all your favorite sources together. Concept Notes 2: HOW TO CREATE A NEWSLETTER USING WORD A newsletter is like a digital/electronic newspaper, but usually less broad on their content. They are a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly letter distributed through e-mail that contain information of interest or importance to its intended audience. STEP 1: Open a new document in Word & by clicking on the Microsoft Icon on the top left. STEP 2: Click on the Page Layout Tab and select the Columns Icon. There choose Two Columns. STEP 3: Next thing, double click on the Header Section and add a title. Set the font to bold and relatively large. STEP 4: Add a rectangle via the Insert Tab > Shapes. We will set this shape behind the title and give it a color. STEP 5: I chose a blue color and placed the shape behind the text. You can do so by rich clicking on the shape and in the pop-up window, select Order and Place Behind Text. STEP 6: Now add some text. Since we added two columns, we already have a nice-looking layout. STEP 7: Let’s add some headers and sub headers. Add a header before your text in a nice big font. I chose Arial Black, 24pt. In word you have preset Style for headers, sun headers and so on. You can save your own style too. To do so, just highlight the text, right click and in the pop-up window, choose Styles > Save Selection as a new Quick Style. STEP 8: Add another subtitle (e.g. a quotation). Quotations stand out nicely in a newsletter and highlight a message well. Repeat step 7 and add this to the quick styles so you can add it at any time. STEP 9: Let’s add a picture. Enter with the cursor at a point between the text where you would like to add an image. The add a paragraph and select the Insert Tab, choose Picture and browse to the image you would like to add. STEP 10: This is what we have so far. I added a footer the same way I added a header in step 3. Concept Notes 3: HOW TO SEND A FILE USING MESSENGER LITE STEP 1: If you do not have the Messenger Lite app in you phone. Then, you can download it from the playstore. STEP 2: After installing, sign up you account. The Messenger and Messenger Lite have the same environment. STEP 3: Click on the name of the people you wanted to send a file. Beside of the message box where you type your message you can see a plus sign (+). STEP 4: Click the plus sign and choose the file word. STEP 5: Choose the file you want to send then click send. PERFORMANCE TASK: Showcase your previously developed material, the photo you edited in the last activity, in a form of a designed newsletter. For those who do not have a laptop or computer, you can download in your phone the Microsoft word or WPS at the Playstore application on your phone, in making document for the newsletter. In submitting, you can choose one of the two options: A. The file you can send it to me via messenger/Facebook. B. You can print your newsletter and staple it to your sheet. Copy the criteria box on your answer sheet for me to put your score. NOTE: Write your complete name before sending/submitting it to me!
