Take a quick look at the page containing the Glossary of Terms to get a
glimpse of what ICT and related concepts are.
What do these mean to you?
So do you think you are ready for the Networked World? Or better yet, is
your community ready for the Networked World?
Your search, ideally done online, should take you on an exploration about:
1. The current state of ICT tools (i.e., Web 2.0, Web 3.0, convergent
technologies, social, mobile, and assistive media).
2. Online systems, functions, and platforms

5. Mobile Media - This refers to media devices such as mobile phones
and PDAs were the primary source of portable media from which we
could obtain information and communicate with one another. More
recently, the smartphone (which has combined many features of the
cell phone with the PDA) has rendered the PDA next to obsolete.5 The
growth of new mobile media as a true force in society was marked by
smartphone sales outpacing personal computer sales in 2011.
8. Web 2.0 - describes World Wide Web sites that emphasize user-
generated content, usability, and interoperability. The term was
popularized by Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty at the O'Reilly Media
Web 2.0 Conference in late 2004, though it was coined by Darcy
DiNucci in 1999.
9. Web 3.0 - a phrase coined by John Markoff of the New York Times in
2006, refers to a supposed third generation of Internet-based services
that collectively comprise what might be called the intelligent Web
such as those using semantic web, microformats, natural language
search, data-mining, machine learning, recommendation agents, and
artificial intelligence technologieswhich emphasize machine-
facilitated understanding of information in order to provide a more
productive and intuitive user experience.

This statement is a simile, a literary device for comparing two unlike things.

FOR OTHER PURPOSES, http://www.gov.ph/2012/09/12/republic-act-no-10175/, is a useful reference for
determining what is legal or illegal activity in the online context. The law has been in force since 2012 and the
Supreme Court in a decision in 2014, SC ruled that imposition of cyber libel on the original author of the post
(on Facebook) is constitutional, but clarified the same is unconstitutional insofar as it penalizes those who
simply receive the post and react to it.

Lesson 3 Weeks 1-2
GOAL
At the end of the lesson, you will be a better user of search engines. In
particular, you can be more deeply aware of search techniques that will give
results that are useful for your academic and chosen career.
CHALLENGE QUESTIONS
Have you Googled14 yourself lately? Are you happy with the results?
How do you find answers to questions from the simple to the complex?
Google might naturally come to mind. Did you know that you could also
use Wolfram as an alternative search engine?
Indeed, Google might be our friend but using search engines for the sake of
plain information could actually lead you misinformed. In order to stay
meaningfully informed, you should start appreciating the use of the right
combination of words or key phrases.
The following is a set of tips to help you build smart search skills, as adapted
from Common Sense Media.

If number crunching just isn't your thingand you need an answer fast
Google's hidden calculator is a lifesaver. Head straight to the search bar
and type in the problem or equation you're looking to solve. You'll know
you've gotten to the right place when a gray, calculator-like tool pops up
as the search result.
Browsing the Merriam-Webster dictionary for hours might be a lost art, but
broadening kids' vocabulary doesn't have to be. Simply add the word
"define" before a search term (for example, define onomatopoeia) to
bring up the proper spelling, definition, origin, and even fun tools like voice
and translation options.
Bonus tip: If you struggle with spelling, don't worry. Google will suggest
18

and search based on the appropriate spelling of most words, just as it
does for regular searches.
C. Age-Appropriate Results
Tools like Google SafeSearch15 and YouTube's Safety Mode16 can help
filter out mature content that's beyond what those below 18 are ready to
see or read. This can also be taken a step further with search results filter
by reading level so you or your younger siblings or friends feel comfortable
with what's in front of them. Let Google annotate the results with reading
levels labeled, or choose to only show basic, intermediate, or advanced
level content.
If you are looking for credible informationor your first taste of scholarly
researchyou can check out Google's academic offshoot, Google
Scholar.17
Bonus tip: Explore with confidence18 by viewing content critically. Just
because you see it online doesn't mean it's true.
D. Time-Zone Challenged
If you have far-flung family and dont want to wake them up in the middle
of the night, you can find the local time anywhere in the world by typing
"time" and a city's name into the search bar.
Lets say the homework assignment requires you to use only one source
of information. Enter your query, followed by the URL for the website (i.e.,
weaving site: ncca.gov.ph/) and hit enter. You'll see only results from that
website.
Need help with weaving homework but getting search results for weaving
for sale? Add a minus sign before "sale" to eliminate sale-related results.

Bonus tip: In Google's Chrome browser, you can just right-click on any
image and select "search Google for this image." There's a Firefox add-
on20, too.
If all you really need is a little distraction, go to Google and type in "tilt,"
browse the Google Doodle archives21, or just tell Google to do a barrel
roll.22 You won't be disappointed. 23
If you want some more keyword tricks, check out the search techniques

2. Site. If you really like a web site (e.g. http://ncca.gov.ph) but its search
tool isnt very good, fret notGoogle almost always does a better job .

Advantages of Mail Merging The advantages of using mail merge are:
Only one document needs to be composed for communicating to an extensive list of interested people,
clients or customers.
Each document can be personalized i.e. it appears to be have been written specifically to each
recipient. It contains details only relevant to the receiver.
Many document formats can be developed to use with one database.
Errors in transcribing details from one document to another are eliminated. This advantage, of course,
depends upon the accuracy of data entry into individual records in the first place!

Whenever used appropriately, slide animations are similar to transitions, but they are applied to individual
elements on a single slidea title, chart, image, or individual bullet point. Animations can make a
presentation more lively and memorable. Just as with transitions, heavy use of animations can be fun, but
distracting and even annoying for an audience expecting a professional presentation.

Nowadays it is so much easier that a high school student with enough
creativity could assemble textual and visual parts that are already interactive
and fun to the user. Moreover, websites have evolved into tools and platforms
for discovery, sharing, connection, and co-creation.
These online social platforms currently include, but are not limited to:
1. Presentation/ visualization (Prezi, Zoho, Slideshare, mindmeister)
2. Cloud computing (Google Drive, Evernote, Dropbox)
3. Social Media (Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr)
4. Web Page Creation (Wix, Weebly)
5. File Management and Filetype conversion (zamzar, word2pdf)
6. Mapping (Google Maps, Wikimapia)
ACTIVITY
With your teachers guidance, you can start exploring online platforms for
expression of mission statements of social impact organizations. On
deeper reflection, you should be better skilled by now in online search
using relevant keywords in this activity. Likewise, from a technical and
skills perspective you should be able to do the following:
1. Evaluate existing online creation tools, platforms and applications in
developing ICT content for specific professional tracks
2. Apply web design principles and elements using online creation
tools, platforms, and applications to communicate a message for a
specific purpose in your professional track.
3. Create an original or derivative ICT content using online creation
tools, platforms, and applications to effectively communicate
messages related to your professional track.

TIPS: WHAT IS AN ADVOCACY?
You join a group that helps build houses for the poorthat's wonderful,
but it's not advocacy (it's a service)
You organize and agitate to get a proportion of apartments in a new
development designated as low to moderate income housingthat's
advocacy
You spend your Saturdays helping sort out goods at the recycling
centerthat's not advocacy (it's a service)
You hear that land used for the recycling center is going to be closed
down and you band together with many others to get the city to
preserve this site, or find you a new one. Some of you even think about
blocking the bulldozers, if necessarythat's advocacy

Excerpt: The technological gains of the last several decades lie at the
core of staggering new surges of wealth and well-being within the richest
countries of the world. Electronic commerce and related applications of
information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become
tremendous engines for economic growth and productivity and are
changing the shape of the world in which we live. Yet the developed world
is reaping the vast majority of these gains.
The great divide between rich and poor countries, long observed with
regard to economic wealth and social conditions, is equally prevalent and
worrisome in the realm of information and communication technologies.
While the growth of the Internet and the continuing "digitalization of
society" are much-heralded events in more developed countries, many
leaders in developing nations are left wondering how they can participate
in the rapid changes going on around them. How can ICTs help their
businesses, governments and communities become more productive?
How do they get ready for the Networked World?
