                             THE EMPOWERMENT OF TECHNOLOGY

What is ICT?

How does it influence us? Do you know how? Have you also a technology driven or no?

ICT is an acronym that stands for Information and Communications Technology.

ICT is the integration of information processing, computing and communication technologies. ICT is changing the way we learn, work and live in society and are often spoken of in a particular context, such as in education, health care, or libraries.  A good way to think about ICT is to consider all the uses of digital technology that already exist to help individuals, businesses and organizations use information. ICT covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information electronically in a digital form and is concerned with these products. Importantly, it is also concerned with the way these different uses can work with each other. For example, personal computers, digital television, email, robots.  

A look at what we use at home, in the office, in school, or at any business or social function finds many devices equipped with computer chips. They include access cards, mobile phones, point of sales scanner, medical instruments, TV remote controls, microwaves ovens, DVD players, digital cameras, PDAs, etc.

IT defines as Information Technology, consists of study, design, advance development, accomplishment, support or administration of computer foundation information system, mostly software application and computer hardware. Information technology works with the use of electronic computers and computer software to renovate, defend, development, and broadcast and other information. Information technology has overstuffed to cover many features of computing and technology, and this word is more familiar than ever before. Information technology subject can be quite large, encompassing many fields. IT professionals perform different types of responsibilities that range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks.

IT professional's responsibilities are data management, networking, database, software design, computer hardware, management and administration of whole system. IT (Information Technology) is combined word of computer and communications or "InfoTech". Information Technology illustrates any technology which helps to manufacture, manipulate, accumulate, communicate or broadcast information.

Recently it has become popular to broaden the term to explicitly include the field of electronic communication so that people tend to use the abbreviation ICT (Information and Communications Technology).

The term "information technology" evolved in the 1970s. Its basic concept, however, can be traced to the World War II alliance of the military and industry in the development of electronics, computers, and information theory. After the 1940s, the military remained the major source of research and development funding for the expansion of automation to replace manpower with machine power. Since the 1950s, four generations of computers have evolved. Each generation reflected a change to hardware of decreased size but increased capabilities to control computer operations. The first generation used vacuum tubes, the second used transistors, the third used integrated circuits, and the fourth used integrated circuits on a single computer chip. Advances in artificial intelligence that will minimize the need for complex programming characterize the fifth generation of computers, still in the experimental stage.

ICT in the Philippines:

The Philippine ICT industry is expected to continue its upward trajectory due to opportunities from the financial, telecommunications, Business Process Management (BPM), and health IT sectors.  Increased consumer spending, low PC penetration, and small and medium enterprise (SME) modernization will also contribute to its growth.  Business Monitor International (BMI) forecasts total IT spending for 2016 to be US$4.4 billion, an 8.3 percent increase from 2015.  BMI expects the annual growth rate in this sector to increase to 10.6 percent and reach US$6.6 billion in total spending by 2020. The financial sector is one of the vertical industries expected to leverage ICT to deliver better and more secure customer service.  The BPM industry is expected to employ 1.3 million people and generate US$25 million in revenue by 2016.  The BPM industry is driving the growth of the hardware, software, services, and cloud opportunities as more offices are opened. �� Philippine SMEs now prefer cloud services as a lower cost alternative to more expensive software licenses.  The cloud is now considered as a great equalizer in the Philippines as it makes technology solutions more affordable and available to SMEs.   Other sectors that are expected to increase IT spending are retail, consumer goods, and health IT.  The International Data Corporation (IDC) issued a press release stating that Philippine healthcare IT spending is expected to reach US$60 million in 2019, with a four percent annual growth rate from 2016 to 2019.  IDC indicated that the largest investors in IT are healthcare providers, including hospitals.  This group accounted for 88 percent of healthcare IT expenditures in 2015.  Hardware spending ranked highest with a 79 percent share, followed by services and software.  IDC analysts consider this trend as being consistent with ASEAN where the priority is focused on upgrading existing IT infrastructure.  However, IDC Philippines commented that there is a clear distinction between the private and public sector in healthcare IT.  Privately-owned hospitals are more aggressive in IT adoption in order to stimulate the growth of medical tourism.  Public /Government hospitals are still focused on developing basic healthcare services and making them more accessible.  IDC expects increased demand in mobility, tele-health and CRM solutions for the healthcare industry. The Department of Science and Technology’s Information and Communications Technology Office (DOST-ICTO) launched the “Free Wi-Fi Internet Access in Public Places” project in late 2015 with a budget of US$66 million.  TV white space spectrum wireless technology will be used for last-mile connectivity in areas lacking broadband infrastructure. All participating internet service providers will peer with PhOpenIX, the country's only third-party, non-profit, publicly funded internet exchange point.     Filipinos are prolific users of social media.  Estimates this year show that there are 48 million active social media users from the Philippines.  Of this number, 42.1 million are on Facebook; 13 million on Twitter and 3.5 million are LinkedIn users.      The Philippine telecommunications industry remains very robust and is a major contributor to the country’s economy. Continuous capex for the upgrade of communications equipment contributes to the growth of the ICT industry.  Below are growth projections for the telecommunications industry:

      Mobile: As of the end of 2015, there are 116.8 million subscribers with a penetration rate of 116 percent.  BMI forecasts a 119.8 percent penetration by 2020.

      Broadband: There is tremendous growth potential for broadband with wireless subscriptions accounting for 80 percent of all subscriptions.  Smartphone ownership is increasing as it becomes more affordable along with the growing demand for high-speed Internet access.  Smartphone penetration is estimated to be about 40 percent.  BMI forecasts 16.5 million broadband subscriptions by 2020.

      The challenge for the Philippines is to continue to upgrade its telecom infrastructure to keep up with the growing demand for broadband.  According to Akamai’s “State of the Internet Report” for the fourth quarter of 2015, the average internet speed in the Philippines is 3.2 megabytes per second (MBPS), the second slowest in Asia Pacific.

      Fixed Line: fixed line penetration is around four percent with an estimated four  million subscribers. This sub-sector is expected to remain stagnant.

     The Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) and Globe Telecom are the two major telecommunication carriers in the country. PLDT, through its mobile group, SMART Communications and Sun Cellular, controls 70 percent of the mobile market, with Globe accounting for 30 percent. The current Philippine cellular infrastructure is Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). 3G service was launched in 2006. 4G was made available in 2010. More recently, SMART and Globe launched long-term evolution (LTE) networks in 2012.      PLDT has an existing digital fiber optic connecting the entire country, as well as an existing digital microwave radio system and a data network. Globe Telecom also has fiber optic cables and was the first to offer Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax).  SMART announced in April 2016 that it is deploying the country’s first LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) service. LTE-A allows for higher data speeds of up to 250 Mbps.      A third mobile phone carrier, San Miguel Telecom, is expected to launch its service in late 2016.  San Miguel was previously in talks with Telstra of Australia but the two were unable to reach a formal agreement.  Industry analysts have attributed the failed San Miguel-Telstra tie-up to significant barriers to entry, such as the cap on foreign direct investment for utilities, and the current duopoly in the telecom industry.  

Online Platforms in ICT Content:

    One example of online platforms content is Facebook. We all know that facebook is the most popular especially to all teenagers or what we called “millenials” since everyone are super duper technology driven, we always use social medias as our “less stress.” Facebook were created in the year of 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg. Because of what he did, it was easy for us to communicate with our loved ones from other country and also it was easy for us to socialize, share or post something what we feel through facebooks.

by using it, our life is better but in the other hand, also harmful to some of us

. 

    next one is Instagram, we know useful it is. one of the amazing and useful application taht everyone using in our generation. Because of Instagram, we are know for being #SunodsaUso or #AyawPahuli trendings. In instagram we can share our stories, post our good pictures and we can also buy things that we want through it. 

    Twitter, it can also help us to be updated with our idols, news in local or international. It easy for us to access and also to comunicate and fin new friends in twitter.

ICT Development:

    The ICT Development Index (IDI), which has been published annually since 2009, is a composite index that combines 11 indicators into one benchmark measure. It is used to monitor and compare developments in information and communication technology (ICT) between countries and over time. The main objectives of the IDI are to measure: the level and evolution over time of ICT developments within countries and the experience of those countries relative to others; progress in ICT development in both developed and developing countries; the digital divide, i.e. differences between countries in terms of their levels of ICT development; and the development potential of ICTs and the extent to which countries can make use of them to enhance growth and development in the context of available capabilities and skills.

People who contribute in ICT World:

Bill Gates - He introduced Microsoft 

 Mark Zuckerberg - He pioneered Facebook and later bought Instagram

 Steve Jobs - He introduce Apple.

Tim Berners - Lee - invented world wide web.

Arthur C. Clarke - invented space oddysey

Marta Lane Fox - invented mozilla firefox

MAIL MERGE:

      Mail merge is a process to create personalized letters and pre-addressed envelopes or mailing labels for mass mailings from a form letter. The feature is usually employed in a word processing document which contains fixed text and variables.

Creating a Mail Merge:

Creating an effective presentation:

Introduction Although the content of the document is the most important element, Word offers you several options to improve the presentation of the text. In this page, you will learn the various options that are generally used for formatting. These options are generally used to draw attention to certain parts of the text: bold, italic, underline, the font, the alignment, to center a title or change the color of a page. The text's formatting can be modified at any time during or after it as been edited. You can activate or to deactivate an option as you're working on the formatting or after reviewing. For example, you can press the button Bold buttonto activate the bold. write the text of your choice and press a second time on the button Bold buttonto deactivate the option. The text that will follow will be written normally. During the period of revision, it's still possible to improve the presentation of the text. It's however necessary to make a block, or to select, the part of the text that you want to change. To modify the presentation of the entire text, it's easier to use the Select all option from the Edit menu. Once selected you can activate or deactivate the option of presentation of your choice. Text presentation This section is to explain the possibilities that you can use to improve the presentation of your document. You can use the toolbar "format" or the options for the fonts that you'll find under the menu Format. The "format" toolbar below, allows you to reach the options most frequently used. Shaped toolbar The first option of the bar is to paste a style of presentation. You can use it, to mark down the parts, the chapters or the subjects of your document. You can also use them, to create and update automatically a table of contents. Windows offers you, in all of it's applications, the access to several fonts. Every font is a style of presentation for the characters of your text. Some are created for formal letters, the others to accentuate a title and the others are simply created for fun. Here is a small example. Example with two fonts The following box shows the name of the font that is presently available. To see the list of fonts, press the small triangle pointing down in the right-hand side of the name of the font. A similar list will appear. List of the fonts It's also possible to control the size of the font chosen. They can be as big or as small as you wish. The size of the characters is calculated in "points", that is 1/72 of an inch. The more the figure is big, the more the character eill be. You can choose the size of a font from 1 to 1638 points. it's easy to activate and to deactivate the options for the bold Bold button, the italic Italic buttonand the underline of the text Underline buttonof the document. The next four buttons control the adaptation of the rows of text with regard to the margins of your document. it's even possible to change the color of the text thanks to a button that meets itself on the toolbar "drawing". The button allows to apply or to change the color of the text. *Make a block of text. *Press the triangle pointing down in the right-hand side of the letter A. *From the list of the possibilities, select the option the other colors. *Select the color of your choice. *Press the OK button to end the operation. You can modifythe the options of the text at anytime. While writing the text, you can activate or deactivate one or more options. Once activated/deactivated the text written after the change will use the new options. For example, to write the text in bold, it's enough... *Press the button Bold buttonto activate the option. *Write then the text of your choice. *Press second time on the button Bold buttonto deactivate the option. Even after the review of the text, you may change the options of presentations. It's however necessary to make a block with the of the text you wishe to modify before changing the options. *Place the cursor or the point of insertion in front of the word to be modified. *Press and hold the left mouse button and move this one to select all the text to be modified. This block can be a letter, a word, a sentence, a paragraph or even several pages. To change the presentation of the entire document at once, use the Edit menu and the option Select everything. *Change the option of presentation of your choice. Toolbars offer you the options most often used, but not all the options. *From the Format menu, select the Font option. This dialog box offers you all the options to manipulate the presentation of your text. Since, there are alot of options to chose from. They are seperated in three categories: " Fonts, styles and attributes ", "Spacing" and "Animation". Most of these options, you will find under the first tab: " Font, style and attributes ". You may change the font, the size and several other attributes such as the background, to add one shadow, to put in indication (low of the row) or by exposing(explaining) (height of the row) etc. In the lower corner, you have a preview of the result before applying it to the text of your document. it's also possible to control the space between the characters. You can enlarge it or reduce it. This can be practical for words such as workforce or letters " oe " are generally stuck. This can be also practical to enlarge the space between the letters of a title. The last tab is to put a little fun in your document. You can activate the animation of a characters of your choice. Word offers you some possibilities for the animation. They are however not practical when a document must be handed in on paper only. Justification or paragraph alignment In the right-hand side of three buttons for the bold, the italic and the underlined, there are four buttons for the justification of rows. Or rather, how a row will be arowd with regard to the margins of the page. The adaptation to the left is the option that we are the most accustomed to. The text of the paragraph is stuck on the left margin of the page but not that of the right-hand side. The centered adaptation will center the text perfectly between the right and left margin of the page. The right adaptation will put the text on the right margin of the page. This is practical to place a date of an official letter on the right border of the page. What Word calls "to justify", consists in the justification or the right left adaptation, the text is arowd on the left margin as well as the right margin. This is very often used for a formal letter. There is however a small trap. By proving, to give you the right for Word a little to enlarge spaces between the words to make sure that the last word of the row pastes on the right margin of the page. It leaves spaces a little bigger than is in usually. Here is an example of the four possible adaptations according to the order of the buttons: left, centered and justified, straight ahead. To change the adaptation or the justification of a row. Place the cursor on the row in question. Presse the button of adaptation that answers your needs. To align a paragraph, a page or a part of your document. Make a block with the rows of text that you want to change the adaptation. Presse the button of adaptation that answers your needs. Tabs A tab serves for aligning words on some rows of the text. It's very practical to align words for a list or for a resume. For example. Name First name Occupation Lepage Roger Manager Lambert Denis Salesperson Lavigueur Denise Salesperson Or Manager Take charge of the management of the staff. Manage the budget of the office or its department Communicate with the departments... Why is it necessary to use tabs? Previously, as a typist, it was easy to align a text. It was enough, to put the number of necessary spaces to align a text. This is not true any more for computers and especially word processors. Under Windows, there are two kinds of fonts; those of fixed size and those of flexible size. The characters of fixed sizes take all the same space. So a " i " takes as much space as a " w ". Here are two examples with the words "piano" and "car". Both consist of five letters. Furthermore, three of the letters you will find in both words. For a font of fixed size such as Courier New in a size of 10 points (1/72 of an inch), both words take as much space. But, for a font of flexible size such as Times New Roman in 10 points, the word "Wagon" takes more space. It's almost impossible to align perfectly of a text that uses fonts of flexible sizes. Nevertheless, the majority of the fonts that you will find in Windows are of this category. It's for that reason that it's necessary to forget the use of the space to align a text. Use instead the tabs to align a text. On the keyboard, to the left of the letter " Q ", you will find the key of the tabs. Normally, there are on the keyboard two horizontal arrows pointing in opposite direction(management). You can use the "normal" tabs that take place in every 1,25 cms. But you can also place the tabs with the use of the ruler. THey will then be of the place of you're chosing. To the left of the ruler, there is a button that allows you to choose among four type of possible tabs. It's enough to press button to pass from a type of tab to another. Note: Word 2000 possesses 5 tabs (tab steers in more) and indents. Button of the tabulations left tab Left(awkward) tabulation The tab will allow to write the text to the left of this one. Centred tab Tabulation centred The text will be centered on the tab instead of the centre of the page. right tab right tabulation The tab will allow to write the text in the right-hand side of this one. Decimal tab Decimal tabulation The tab will allow to align numbers on the decimal point. Bar tab First row indent Hanging indent When you chose the type of tab that you need, it's enough to click towards your choice. You can also insert tabs from the menu of Word. From the Format menu, select the Tabs... option. The following screen will appear. Tabs window This window shows you that tabs are availlable at every 1,25 as well as in position of 3,5 cms and 5,5 cms from the left margin of your document. It's possible to modify the type of tabs (5 types), their place at any time. You can add or remove so many tabs as you want. Exercise of tabs Place a tab centred in 5 cms and a decimal tab in 12 cms. Write Potatoes and press the key tab. Write 2,99 $ and press Enter key. Your cursor is now on the next row. But the tabs that you have just installed will apply to this new row. You will notice as well that the text potatoes is centred on the tab. Write Diamonds and press the key tab. Write 1 000 000 $ and press the Enter key. Once you have finished the list, you must remove the tabs. You can them from the menu Format, tab, or with the ruler. To remove one tabs from the ruler: Place the cursor on the tab to be removed. Press and hold the left mouse button and move the cursor, outside of the ruler. Release the mouse button once you're not on the ruler anymore. Borders and shading From the Format menu, select the Borders and Shading option. Border window Select the Border of page tab. Page border window Select the Shading tab. Shading window Add a border to a cell There are two ways to add rows of your choice to a table: by using the option Border and left of the Format menu or by using the toolbar Borders. By using either one of these techniques, you can not only add rows to a table, but also add a border to the document. For the next exercise, we will use the toolbar Borders to put a row around the table. Before we begin, make sure that the toolbar is available. If you do not see the toolbar such as shown below, go to View, Toolbar, and activate the toolbar Borders. Tables and Borders toolbar If this new toolbar is on your text, you can always move it. Place the cursor on the title bar of the window; in this case, the blue bar over the buttons. Keep your finger pressed on the left mouse button and move toolbar to the place of you're choice; upward, to the bottom or on either sides of the screen. Release the mouse button once you have chosen the location that suites you. You can move any toolbar this way. The following exercise consists of putting a row around a table. In the first place, you must select the cells that you want to put a border around. Make sure that you select the cells of the table and not the rows of the text that are above or below the table. Otherwise, part of the text wil have a border. You must then choose the type of row that you require. Of the first list, press the downward arrow located beside the button. You will then have the completes list of available types of rows that you can choose from. Select the one that is convenient for you. The buttons on the right-hand side determine the place where this type of row will be placed. You can choose a border that will appear only, to the left, to the right-hand side of the cell or around the entire table. You also have the option of placing the rows at different places inside the table. To add a row to the outline of the block of cells, press the button Undisplayed Graphic. In box of an error, or if you want to erase some rows, select the cells of your choice and press the button No border button. You can afterward put various sorts of rows in your table or in your text. Add color to the backround With this option you can change the color of the backround of the text. One uses it, to mark down titles or text mattering besides of the document. You can use the button on the left of the toolbar Borders. However we will use the option Format, Borders and shading for the next exercise. By using the last mentioned option, a new window opens. Undisplayed Graphic From the options, you may decide the percentage of grey you wish as well as colors for the backround and the text. The window in the lower right corner will give you an example of you're choice. It's generally recommended not to use a pourcentage or more than 10% of grey as the text will be more difficult to read. For the next example, put the thorough percentage in 100 %. This will have the automatic effect of changing the color of the bottom to the black and the text in the white color. You can also change the colors. The effect should look like this: Shading textEci is completed for a title or to mark down a part of the Adjust the width of a columnAdjust ocument. To adjust the width of the black bar, it's necessary to change the left margin or the right margin of the row. You can do this by moving the small triangles of the ruler above the text or by changing the margins from the menu File, Page setup, Margin.

Basic Photo Editing:

in editing a photo make sure that the photo is in High Definition so that if you edited it, its not hard for you to contrast the color then, resize the picture if applicable, third, know how to blend or match a color and you’re done. 

How To Combine Text And Image In eLearning Design:

1. Text Overlaid on Image ~Images that work as a background for text include: Photos with large flat solid areas of color, like the sky, a wall, the ocean or a shadow Light patterns or textures, like canvas, linen or faint geometric designs Out of focus or blurry backgrounds with a minimal range of colors (see Resources below for freebies) Uncluttered photographs, perhaps of one object 2.  Text Wrapped Around Image ~In the wrap-around, the text follows the shape of an image. The relationship between text and image is evident because the outline repeats the contours of the person or object, as shown above (cut-out server courtesy of the eLearning Brothers). To make this work, use an image that is relevant to the content. Perhaps a silhouette of a person performing an action, a hand gesture or a large object. 3. Text and Image Intersect ~The intersection of text and image can create a dynamic composition. The visual elements can intersect in several ways: Placing text within an image, particularly a hollow vector graphic as shown in the light bulb above Placing text behind an image so that it is partially obscured Placing text so that it rests on the image, using the image as the baseline for the text If intersecting text and image makes reading difficult, then only use this approach for title and topic slides. Never sacrifice learning for a visual design idea. Notice that many magazine covers place the title of the magazine partially behind a person’s image, as shown above 4.Text and Image Aligned ~You can achieve an orderly look by aligning visual elements with each other and placing them in close proximity. For example, when the left and right margins of a photograph are aligned with the left and right margins of a text box, as shown above, you can sense the connection between the elements. Even though image and text do not intersect or overlap, alignment demonstrates a relationship. It also provides a clean sense of balance. 5. Text and Image in Repeating Shapes ~In visual design, repetition creates unity. You can create a cohesive design by selecting a shape and repeating it in different sizes and colors. By adding images and text to the shapes, you create a unified whole. Shapes are part of our rich visual language. Think about what a shape represents before you decide to use it. Rectangles project stability and order. Circles give us a sense of unity and also continuous movement. Triangles are dynamic and seem to move the eye toward the point.
