The Nature and Purposes of Online Platforms and Applications

In the earlier years, or sometime in the 1990s, creating a web page or a website was a skill that requires a
mind of a computer programmer, working on standard lines of computer code that need to be memorized to
produce a basically flat but colorful document.
Nowadays it is so much easier that a high school student with enough creativity could assemble textual and
visual parts that are already interactive and fun to the user. Moreover, websites have evolved into tools and
platforms for discovery, sharing, connection, co-creation.

Social Software

Social Software means different things to different people. In 2003, Clay Shirky defined it simply as “software
that supports group interaction”. Wikipedia, which in itself is a Social Software defines it like so: “Social
software enables people to rendezvous, connect or collaborate through computer-mediated communication.
Many advocates of using these tools believe (and actively argue or assume) that these create actual
community, and have adopted the term „online communities‟ to describe the social structures that they claim
result.”

These online social platforms currently include, but are not limited to:

1. Presentation/ Visualization (Prezi, Soho, Slideshare, mindmeister)

2. Cloud computing (Google Drive, Evernote, Dropbox)
3. Social Media (Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr)
4. Web Page Creation (Wix, Weebly)
5. File Management and Filetype conversion (zamzar, word2pdf)
6. Mapping (Google Maps, Wikimapia)

Blogging Platforms

Websites like Wordpress, Tumblr, and Blogger, focus on content and design. It typically looks like a newsletter
where you are given options to change the design you‟re liking.

Blogs which is shorthand for Web blogs are nothing more than online journals. But once the journal owner
opens a blog item to public comments and gives it the ability to be referenced (Trackbacks) via another
blogger‟s online journal, effectively clothes blogging with a social feature.

Content Management System

CMS is a computer application (sometimes online or browser-based) that allows you to publish, edit and
manipulate, organize and delete web content. CMS us used in blogs, news websites, and shopping.
Cloud Computing

It is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to
computers and other devices on demand. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared
pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and
services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

Learning Competencies:
1. Differentiate the platforms and collaborative tools available for developing web content;
2. Understand the purpose of these platforms and collaborative tools and know the basic of using them;
3. Enhance one's knowledge in the world of cloud computing.

B. Research the following online collaborative tools to answer the crossword puzzle that follows.

Down
1. Is a creative tool for you to drag-and-drop rich media files, links and documents onto a big online
drawing board. It also supports collaboration that allows designers to brainstorm cool ideas remotely.
It is optimized for iPad and made gesture-friendly.
2. Makes it easy for your team to quickly turn thoughts into ideas, and share or refine them – whether
your collaborator is in the same room or on the other side of the world.
3. This project management tool is like a magical customizable to-do list on a single interface, which you
can share with others in real time. Based on a system of “cards” (which essentially Post-it notes), you
can categorize and order text, photos, drawings, and markups whichever way you want.
 4. Is a similar to a chat room – it even has audio available – and as such it is very useful indeed. Creative
brainstorming and artwork revision can be collaborated in the “room” you create. It‟s an effective online
collaboration tool and is available for free.
7. More fun than a teacher‟s marking pen, this feedback tool is particularly great if you‟re a freelancer looking for some
constructive criticism on a project. Specifically created for designers, it lets you drag and drop your designs into a
dashboard and invite specific colleagues (or even clients) to let you know their thoughts in real-time as you roll out your
latest updates.

Across
5. Perfect for anyone managing a team of remote employees. It enables project development to move forward
more smoothly. It also helps you grow your design business by reducing email and meeting times, and keeping
all team communication in one place.
6. A tool created specifically for designers. It is a web-based and mobile app that turns your designs into fully active
prototypes with gestures, transitions, and animations. Clients can provide feedback in the form of comments on
your designs and you can keep them up to date with the project‟s progress in real time through actionable to-do
list.
8. Is a fantastic way to share lists and ideas (or keep them to yourself). You can access it through its website or
using the iOS or Android App.
9. A social network for business, provides a platform for you to communicate and collaborate privately with your
colleagues. Employees sign in with a company email address, and can use the platform via web,
desktop, or mobile. It‟s the most widely used enterprise network tool and now owned by Microsoft can be integrated with
SharePoint.
10. Is one of those online collaboration tools that is specifically built for designers. You can add tasks, approve files,
and even explore a more engaging experience with web-based presentations. If project management features
like to-do-lists were included, this would virtually be a one-stop solution for designer collaboration.

Interactive Multimedia

There was a time that the internet was not as fast as today‟s Internet that only text, images, and
bits of sound are placed on most websites. Today, however, videos and music are now placed
freely on most websites. If you visit CNN.com‟s website to day using the Internet of the year
2000, your World Wide Web (WWW) would turn into a different kind of WWW: world-wide-wait.
CNN now host videos placed on their home page, which was unthinkable in the past because of
slow internet speed. Videos way back then were never on the home page and can be viewed
“on-demand” on only when a user clicks on it. The same goes for high quality images and
background music.

Most websites you see today have embedded YouTube videos on them. To remedy the
problem that not everyone has fast internet connection, these YouTube videos can be set to be
played “on-demand” rather than having them played automatically.

Multimedia Content

Here are multimedia contents that you can find on some websites:

1. Videos. Through video hosting sites, you can take a video and show it to the entire world
(e.g., YouTube).

2. Sound, Music, or Audio. If videos are too much for you, you can always record sounds. You
can now share your sound bites to the entire world (e.g., Soundcloud).

3. Online Games. Game developers now create what is called “browser-based games.” You
do not need to install these games to your computer as they run in most updated web
browsers (e.g., AdventureQuest, Farmville, Candy Crush).

4. Online tests. Online survey forms and tests that automatically display the results when
finished (e.g. Online IQ and Personality Tests).

5. Courseware. Online courses that simulate the classroom online (e.g., E-learning Courses
using a Learning Management System).

6. Podcasts. An episodic series of audio or text files streamed online (e.g.,

StuffYouShouldKnow, TEDTalks, The Starters, Ear Biscuits).

7. Vodcasts. An episodic series of video streamed online (e.g., YouTube series/shows like
Video Game High School, Good Mhytical Morning).

Learning Competencies:
1. Critically review a website;
2. Enumerate interactive multimedia to improve websites;
3. Understand the importance of ICT as platform for social change.

Exercise
A. Website Review
I. Visit deped.gov.ph , on a scale of 1-10, review the features of the site carefully.
Afterward, write a comment or two as to why you rated certain criteria a certain value.
 1. Overall look of the website (Does it look professional?)
2. Navigation (Is the navigation easy to use? Do the links work?)
3. Content (Does it have relevant content? Is the information adequate?)
4. Correctness (Is the site free from errors?)
5. Images (Are there images that are related to the site? Are they displayed
correctly?
6. Customer Experience (Does the site offer several ways to contact the
owners?)

II.Write the strength and weaknesses of the website.

III. Write the features that should be present and the features that should be
removed from the website.

The Role of ICT in Recent History

Throughout recent history, the Philippines has been one of a few nations that demonstrates unity for a
call to action or social change. These campaigns for social change would have not been successful if it
were not for ICT.

1. EDSA (People Power Revolution). The People Power Revolution lasted from 1983 to 1986. During a
radio broadcast of Radyo Veritas, Cardinal Sin encouraged the Filipinos to help end the regime of then
President Ferdinand Marcos. A major protest took place along EDSA from February 22-25, 1986
involving two million Filipinos from different sectors. These include civilians, political parties, the military,
and religious groups. The radio broadcast helped change the course of history. Without it, Filipinos
would not have been moved into action.

2. EDSA Dos. This is also known as the 2001 EDSA Revolution, happened during January 17-21, 2001. It
was fueled after 11 prosecutors of then President Joseph Estrada walked out of the impeachment trial.
As a result, the crowd in EDSA grew over the course of a few days through text brigades. Like the first
People Power Revolution, Edsa Dos would not been successful without the text brigades.

3. Million People March. This is a series of protests that mainly took place in Luneta Park from August 22-
26, 2013. There were also several demonstrations that happened around key cities in the Philippines
and some locations overseas. It was to condemn the misuse of the Priority Development Assistance
Fund (PDAF). Though dubbed as the Million People March, the number of total attendees was only
around 400,000. Despite that, it was still considered a success and clearly demonstrated how powerful
social media campaigns are. The organizers and promoters of the Million People March used Facebook
and Changed,org as their mediums.

4. Yolanda People Finder. Recent storms in Philippine history gave birth to the People Finder database
powered by Google. During typhoon Yolanda, the People Finder was a vital tool across the globe to
track the situation of their relatives. This proved to be successful and is now adapted by more
organizations to help people track relatives during calamities.

5. Change.org

Change.org is dubbed as the “world‟s platform for change” where anyone from the online community can
create a petition and ask others to sign in. During the past times, petitions are only done through signing
a paper, usually done by a group asking for signatures via travel. Change.org give access to more people
by allowing the online community to affix their digital signature on a petition.

Change.org mission is to help people around the world create the change they want to see. For years,
Change.org hosted several petitions that help solve the following problems: economic problems, criminal
injustice, abuse of human rights, lack of education, environmental concerns, animal abuse, human health
concerns, and world hunger.

Exercise
B. Signing an Online Petition
1. Visit Change.org
2. Change.org works this way. If this is your first time to use Change.org, click SIGN
UP or log in with Facebook. Otherwise, just input your log-in details.
3. You can then start your own petition, but for now, click on any petition you want
under trending petitions.
4. Read the petition description to see if this petition matters to you. If it is, sign the
petition by filling up the information on the right side of the screen.
5. Share the petition on Facebook to promote it. Alternatively, you can check out
 petitions of your friends on Facebook, then click on those petitions to read about it
and sign it.
6. Answer the following:
 Name instances in the past where social media has kept you informed
about the latest news around the country.

 What is / are the petitions you signed using Change.org? Why is it important
to you?
