Lesson III - Advanced Word Processing

In this lesson, we focused on Microsoft Word and its other features. I learned on how to make a cover letter using mail merge. It allows you to produce multiple letters with the same content but different addresses instantly. Integrating images & external materials like screenshot and smart art were also discussed to determine which is which when you need it to insert in your document. Image placement like square, tight and through helps you arrange the position of your image in accordance to your text; e.g. you can either place the image beneath the text or above it.

We had a performance task regarding this lesson and we must create a cover letter using mail merge as well as a resume that we personally designed.

Lesson II - Rules of Netiquette

This lesson is probably one of the most crucial and a must known information to prevent danger in the Internet. "Think before you click", they say -- we have to be cautious and responsible for what we do inside the world of technology. Social Networking Sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are prone to incidents with faults for not staying safe online. Passwords or even personal information are taken illegally due to low knowledge on maintaining safe accounts. I learned to provide the best and safest way on how to secure my accounts and devices away from web threats like malware, spam, and phishing. Giving credits to the rightful owner was also discussed in this lecture. The Copyright law will protect your original and own work. It is important to put your sources and ask for permission to avoid copyright infringement and plagiarism.

Lesson I - Introduction to Information & Communication Technology

In our first lesson, I learned a lot about I.C.T. or Information and Communication Technology. Before we jumped in to the discussion of this lesson, we had an activity and were divided into groups to illustrate what we know about I.C.T. My group decided to draw a boy occupied with his device and is surrounded by applications indicating that I.C.T. has been around us all this time even if the others are not aware of it and its help to us -- that technology gave us a way to communicate and gather information easily without waiting for months.

This lesson focused on the three types of web: Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. Web 1.0. World Wide Web was invented in Web 1.0; it is also static. Web 2.0 is the website that we commonly visit for interaction and sharing like Social Networking Sites. Web 3.0 is semantic. Server problems of Web 3.0 and Trends in I.C.T are also included in this topic as well as the types of social media and operating systems.
