Lesson 1: Sectors of ICT and Its Career and Business Opportunities

1. Computer programming is the process of writing code to facilitate specific actions in a computer, application or
software program, and instructs them on how to perform. Computer programmers are professionals that create
instructions for a computer to execute by writing and testing code that enables applications and software
programs to operate successfully.
 Web developers create functional, user-friendly websites and web applications. They may write code,
develop and test new applications, or monitor site performance and traffic. Front-end developers focus on
the user-facing side of their work, while back-end developers make websites functional and secure.
 Game developers typically play a role in several elements of game development, including visuals, artificial
intelligence, user interface, and game logic. Game developers take the game designers' designs, storyboards,
and ideas and use them as blueprints to bring the game to life as something gamers can actually play.

2. Visual arts refer to art forms that express their message, meaning, and emotion through visual means.
 An animator produces multiple images called frames, which when sequenced together create an illusion of
movement.
 An illustrator is a visual artist with a specialization in crafting images and designs, and contributes to various
mediums like books, magazines, advertisements, and digital media.

3. Computer systems servicing refers to the process of providing maintenance and support for computer systems. It
involves tasks such as installing, configuring, troubleshooting, and maintaining computer systems and networks.
 Computer/ Network technician

4. Telecommunications service means any service that consists in the provision of access to, and of facilities for
making use of, any telecommunication system.
 call center agents
 outbound and inbound agents
 contact center services

Computer Programmers

1. Alan Turing was a British mathematician and computer scientist. He helped decipher the Enigma code during
World War II and introduced the idea of the Turing Machine, a theoretical representation of a computer. The
father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.
2. Ada Lovelace, an English mathematician and writer, is credited as the first computer programmer for her work
with Charles Babbage on the Analytical Engine. She developed an algorithm intended for processing by this early
mechanical computer, making her a pioneer in the field of computer science.
3. Bill Gates is a software developer, businessman and philanthropist most well-known for founding Microsoft, the
world’s largest personal computer software company.
4. Steve Jobs co-founded Apple and played a crucial role in developing the Macintosh, iPod, iPhone, and iPad.
5. Mark Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook, one of the world’s most widely used social networking sites.
6. Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's legendary game designer.
7. Will Wright, SimCity and The Sims
8. Gunpei Yokoi, creator of the Game Boy.
9. Moonton, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB)

B. ICT Issues

1. Cybercrime
 Cybercrime The use of a computer network, especially the internet, for crime.
 Cyberbullying It refers to the use of technological communication tools and devices to
intentionally inflict harm on an individual or group.
 Cyberterrorism The convergence of terrorism and cyberspace, particularly the politically
motivated sabotage of information systems.
 Computer Virus Rogue computer program, typically a short program designed to disperse
copies of itself to other computers and disrupt those computers' normal operations.
 Hacking Unauthorized access to computer systems, either for fun or for malicious or fraudulent
purposes.
 Identity Theft Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes of the new millennium.

2. Social Issues
 Digital Divide: The digital divide refers to the disparity between those that have access to
information and communication technology (ICT) and those that do not.
 Internet Addiction: Specialists estimate that between 6% and 14% of Internet users in the
United States have a destructive dependency on the Web and that the vast majority of these
people do not realize they have a problem.
 Knowledge Gap Hypothesis: Proposed that the segments of a population that have higher
socioeconomic status (SES) tend to acquire information flowing from the media at a faster rate
than do segments with lower status and that the gap in knowledge between these segments
tends to increase rather than decrease over time.

Lesson 3: Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) Standards in ICT

OHS or Occupational Health and Safety refers to the legislation, policies, procedures and activities that aim to
protect the health, safety and welfare of all people at the workplace.
1. Do not work alone so that there's someone who can take care of you in case of emergency.
2. Always power off the computer and unplug the computer before working on it.
3. Take away any liquid near your working area to avoid getting electrocuted or accidentally damaging computer
parts.
4. Be careful with tools that may cause short circuit.
5. Always ground or discharge yourself before touching any part of the computer.
6. Do not use excessive force if things don't quite slip into place.
7. Clean the area before and after using it to maintain sanitation and prevent accidents.
8. Hold the components on the edges and do not touch the Integrated Circuit (IC) parts.
9. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with the organization's OHS procedures and
practices.
10. Make sure that the pins are properly aligned when connecting a cable connector.
11. Contingency measures during workplace accidents, fire and other emergencies are recognized.
12. Use brush, compressed air or blower in cleaning the computer system.

The 5S pillars, Sort (Seiri), Set in Order (Seiton), Shine (Seiso), Standardize (Seiketsu), and Sustain (Shitsuke), provide a
methodology for organizing, cleaning, developing, and sustaining a productive work environment.
