Notes to the Teacher
This module aims to prepare the students to be knowledgeable
in ICT in the context of global communication in our society’s
new normal state. It also empowers the students to be literate
on how to use digital tools without compromising their private
information.
What’s New

device can be a cellular phone, tablet or a computer with a front camera since you
are going to make a video call. Video call app can be Facebook Messenger, Viber,
Facetime, Skype, Hangout or Whatsapp. It should be the same app use by the
person that you intend to call. Facetime is best for iPhones or iOS devices, unlike
other video call apps that can be run in Android devices.
What is It
ICT refers to technologies that provide access to information through
telecommunications. It focuses primarily on communication technologies. This
includes the internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication
mediums (Christensson 2010). Add the computer and network hardware and
software, satellite systems, as well as the various services and applications
associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning. With the
rapid growth in our technology, communication now became global where you can
communicate to other people anytime or anywhere as long as you have an internet
connection and a device.
Computer is an electronic device that can accept raw data as input,
manipulate or process it to produce output. Computer system is consists of
7
hardware, software, and peopleware. Hardware refers to the tangible component of
the computer system. This can be monitor, keyboard, mouse, webcam, USB flash
drive, speaker, headset, microphone, or printer. Software refers to the intangible
part of the computer system. This can be the Microsoft Office Application like MS
Word, MS PowerPoint or MS Excel or other applications used to produce output.
Peopleware is the user, in which, if either one of the three components is missing,
the entire computer system will not function.
Online platform is defined as a digital service that facilitates interactions
between two or more distinct but interdependent sets of users (whether firms or
individuals) who interact through the service via the Internet (OECD 2019). ICT is
one of the online platforms in the market. Others are Collaborative platforms which

Mobile Media - This refers to “media devices such as mobile phones and PDA’s
were the primary source of portable media from which we could obtain information
and communicate with one another. And leading in the market now is smart phone.
But each mobile device will not function if it does not have an Operating System in
