ICT:
WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW)
-invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee
-there were three versions:
 Web 1.0 (Static Web) – flat and stationary
page, it does not change. First version.
(Read-only web)
 Web 2.0 (Dynamic Web) – the current age
of websites (Read-Write), the website is
interactive and can be viewed differently
from other users. User interaction is the
main feature of this web version. (Users are
able to post, edit, delete, respond, react,

 Web 3.
websites. It is also known as Semantic Web
where the web technologies of other
devices/application can interact with each
other and in turn predict what the user might
want or how the user will behave basing
from his/her past preferences.
INTERNET VS THE WEB
The Internet by definition is the actual interconnection of
computers and other networks. The internet is the hardware
aspect because it relates to computer networks, connections
and infrastructures.
The web refers to the system that enables people to access
information over the internet. It is the software aspect as it
relates to the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), web
services, applications and platforms. HTTP are the system or
procedures that enables the transfer of information in the
internet.
TYPES OF ONLINE PLATFORMS
1. Web Search Engines - It is a software system
designed to search for information on the World
Wide Web (WWW). Ex. Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing,
Baidu, DuckDuckGo, etc.
 Google is the most known and
most used search engine in the
world: 74.54% of the Search
Engine Market has been acquired
by Google
2. Advertising Platforms - It allows users to create and
manage advertising campaigns, generate reports, and
retrieve information about the ads, campaigns, and
organizations associated with an account.
3. Hash tagging Platforms - fast-paced, concise, and
easy way to connect with your audience.
Ex. Twitter
4. Teaching Platforms
5. Grouping Platforms - specially designed for
businesses and professionals. (Ex. LinkedIn)
6. Platform for Analyzing Business - one of the

3. Exit – controls how an object exits the
slide
4. Motion Path – an object moves within
the slide along a predetermined path.
(ex. Move the object while following a
circle.)
 Word Processing

- is the use of computer to create, edit and print

document.
- in order to perform word processing, specialized
software (known as a Word Processor) is needed.
One example of a Word Processor is Microsoft
Word, but other word processing applications are also
widely used.

Word Processor

- is a software program that is capable in creating and

printing documents.
- a device or computer program that provides for input,
editing, formatting, and output of text, often with
some additional features.

Microsoft Word

- is a widely used commercial word processor designed

by Microsoft.
- is a component of the Microsoft office suite of
productivity software but can also be purchased as a
stand-alone product.
- it was initially launched in 1983 and has since been
revised numerous times.
- often called simple Word or MS word.

MAIL MERGE

- Allows you to create documents and combine or

merge them with another document or data file.
- It is commonly used when sending out advertising
materials to various recipients.

Components of Mail Merge

1. Form Document
- It is generally the document that contains the main
body of the message we want to convey or send.
- Also included in the form document is what we call
place holders, also referred to as data fields or merge

fields.
APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
- in its simplest form, a form document is literally a
Mail merge and Label Generation “form” that you fill out with individual information.
Example of Form Document:
In the professional world, sending out information to
convey important information is vital. Because of ICT, things
are now sent much faster than the traditional newsletters or
postal mail. You can now send much faster that the traditional
newsletters or post mail. You can now use the internet to send
out information you need to share.
 Integrating or inserting pictures in your documents is
fun and it improves the impression of your document. Your
knowledge on the different kinds of materials that you can
insert or integrate in a Word Document and its characteristics
can help you create a more efficient, richer document not only
in content but also in physical form

Kinds of Materials

A. Pictures

 Generally, these are electronic or digital pictures or

2. List of Data file
- This is where the individual information or data that
needs to be plugged in (merged) to form document is
placed and maintained.
- You can also add, remove, modify, or extract your
data more efficiently by using other data management
applications like Excel and import them in Word
during mail merge.
Example of List of Data File:
photographs you have saved in any local storage
device
 There are three commonly used types of picture files.
You can identify them by the extension on their file
names.
 1. JPG/JPEG
- this is pronounced as “jay-peg” and is the short
form of .jpeg or Joint Photographic Experts Group.
- this type of image file can support 16.7 million
colors that is why it is suitable to use when working
with full color photographic images.
- JPG does not work well on lettering, line drawings,
or simple graphics. .JPG images are relatively small
in file size.

2. GIF

- stands for Graphics Interchange Format.

- this type of image file can display transparencies.
- GIF is much better for logos, drawings, small text,
black and white images or low-resolution files.

3. PNG

• - This is pronounced as “ping”. It stands for Portable
