MODULE 1
E-TECH: Empowering People and Affecting Social Change
I. CONTEXT
The 21st cent
development of different technologies that have helped people accomplish tasks
in a more effective and efficient way. A common example is the use of smartphones for
communication via text messaging, voice chat, or video call. You can even use smartphones to
access applications you need for school, work, or even your daily tasks like buying groceries.
To understand the concept of empowerment technology, think of the years of innovation

of technology. Have you ever wondered how your current smartphone evolved to its present
form? Ever wondered how people communicated 20 years ago? Were they able to share media as
fast as we do today? How about 20 years from now? How will technology evolve from what you
currently know? How can it be used aside from communication and entertainment?

II. EXPERIENCE
LESSON 1: Introduction to Empowerment
Technology
Let us begin with familiarizing ourselves with ICT
image from https://www.shutterstock.com/
Definition of ICT (Information and Communication Technology)

● All technology that is used to handle telecommunication and access information.
● Convergence of several technologies focuses on the access and sharing of information
and communications.
“ICT is a broad subject and the concepts are evolving. It covers any product that will store,
retrieve, manipulate, transmit, or receive information electronically in a digital form (e.g.,
personal computers, digital television, email, or robots). Theoretical differences between
interpersonal-communication technologies and mass-communication technologies have been
identified by the philosopher Piyush Mathur. Skills Framework for the Information Age is one of
many models for describing and managing competencies for ICT professionals for the 21st
century.”

EMPOWERMENT TECHNOLOGY: A Definition
Empowerment Technology
The process of giving yourself, or other refers to computer technology that we use
13
people, the capacity to achieve a specific almost every day, which enables us to do
end-goal tasks that, in the past, requires professional
help
Empowerment Technology is a strategy that aims to give individuals the tools and resources
necessary to take initiative, gather, and analyze information
or situations.
Empowerment requires being information literate and technology literate.
Information Literacy Technology Literacy
understands, evaluates, uses, and determines the ability to use digital technology to
the needed information effectively and access, manage and create information.
efficiently.
Likewise, empowerment technology refers to computer technology that we use almost every day,
which enables us to do tasks that, in the past, required professional help. Consider the following
examples. How does technology empower each individual? Other than the target outcome, what
other results are achieved through the use of technology?
● a fifteen-year-old owner of a bakeshop wanted to sell her cookies online. Knowing that
web development is a complex subject, she checked online for a free website creation
tool. She found WiX and she was able to put up her own website in just an hour.
● The student council wanted to create a video for their upcoming fundraising project.
When they asked for help from videographers, they were surprised at the cost given to
them. So, the council decided to find a video creation tool online. They tried Powtoon
and they were able to produce a video in a day.
● A businessman is running late for a meeting. To find the fastest route from his office to
his home he uses Waze and he is able to tell his estimated time of arrival to the people
waiting for him at the office.
Nowadays, there are applications that can be accessed and used for free.In the examples given
each individual is able to solve his or her problem with little to no cost, lesser time, and lesser
effort.

LESSON 2: Contextualized Online Research
In the previous lesson, you have learned of the importance of ICT and how it can empower us as
individuals. As a student, you are regularly searching for information online and offline, or in
other words, you regularly perform research. With the technology we have today, it is possible
for us to collate large amounts of information in a short span of time and at the same time
encounter information that otherwise can be considered falsified. In this lesson we will learn
about how to efficiently use the internet in researching online as well as some tips to help us
avoid unreliable data.
Activity 1: Source of Information

Where do you often get information for your projects? Fill out the graphic organizer below.
Write down at least five (5) types of sources for each category where you can get information.

Contextualized Online Search and Research Skills
21
Contextualized search can be defined as a skilled or optimized way of searching the Internet
based on the “context” provided, therefore narrowing down the results given back to you by the
search engine (Feldman, 2012). This increases the chances of you receiving the most appropriate
reply to your query.
In our world of expanding access to the internet, research has become a common term that is
used when looking for something online. Whether you search for a definition of a word you
don’t know, look for sales online, or for a recipe for food you line, it is now considered
“research”.
Committing errors when searching for information such as these does not matter much because it
generally does not affect other people. This kind of research is called personal research. The
research we do in schools, on the other hand, is called professional research.
Why is contextualized research important?

● To discover new information
● To interpret existing facts
● To revise accepted knowledge in light of newly discovered facts
● To apply theories and laws into practice.
Research Skills I Need to Develop. Searching for answers to questions you have for your
project requires more than just a simple Google search. You need to have proper skills that will
enable you to gather useful and credible information online. According to Scholastic, the
following are the online research skills students need. (Hudson, 2017)
22
1. Check Your Sources
The Skill: Evaluating information found in your sources based on accuracy, validity,

appropriateness for needs, importance, and social and cultural context
The Challenge: While most kids know not to believe everything they read online, the
majority also do not take the time to fully evaluate their sources, according to the John D.
and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The same study showed that, on average, kids as
young as 11 rate themselves as quite proficient Internet users, which may inflate their
confidence.
The Solution: As a class, discuss the benchmarks for evaluating a website: currency (Is the
information up to date?), security (Does the site ask for too much personal information or
prompt virus warnings?), scope (Is the information in-depth?), and authority (Does the
information come from a trusted expert?). Challenge partners to find one site that meets these
benchmarks and one site that fails to do so. During research projects, encourage students to
check the benchmarks off a list for each of the sources they use.

2. Ask Good Questions
The Skills: Developing and refining search queries to get better research results
The Challenge: Students will enter a search term, say, “Abraham Lincoln,” and comb
through pages of results that aren’t related to their research (think Lincoln beards, Lincoln
Logs), rather than narrowing their original query (“Lincoln assassination”).
The Solution: Give small groups three search terms each, ranging from the general to the
specific (e.g., “national parks,” “Yellowstone,” and “Yellowstone founding date”). Ask the
groups to record how many results are returned for each term. Discuss how specificity can
narrow their search to the results they need. Next, challenge groups to come up with three
alternate search terms for the most specific item on their lists. (For the Yellowstone example,
alternate terms might include “When was Yellowstone founded?” “history of Yellowstone”
and “Who founded Yellowstone?”) Compare the results and discuss how changing a few
words can generate different information.

3. Go Beyond the Surface
The Skill: Displaying persistence by continuing to pursue information to gain a broad

perspective
The Challenge: Studies have shown that when using a search engine, kids often stop at the
first search result, which they deem the most trustworthy.
The Solution: Invite students to create fact trees about whatever they are researching. The
starting question is the root of the tree — for example, “How many planets are in the Milky
Way?” Then, on branches coming out from the tree, students write facts or pieces of
information that answer the question (“Scientists don’t know the exact number,” “There
could be billions”). The catch is that each fact must come from a separate, documented
source. Encourage students to find at least 10 sources of information to complete their fact
trees.

4. Be Patient
The Skill: Displaying emotional resilience by persisting in information searching despite

challenges
The Challenge: Today’s students are used to information on demand. So when they can’t
find the answers to their questions after they’ve spent a few minutes poking around online,
they may grow frustrated and throw in the towel.
The Solution: Challenge teams to come up with a well-researched answer to a question that
isn’t “Google-able.” Opinion questions about popular culture work well for this activity. For
example, “Who’s the best actor ever to have played James Bond?” “Which band is better: the
23
Jonas Brothers or Justin Bieber?” Encourage teams to use a wide variety of sources in
answering their questions, including what others have said, box office receipts, and awards.
Determine a winner based on which team presents the most convincing case.

5. Respect Ownership
The Skill: Respecting intellectual property rights of creators and producers

The Challenge: Increasingly, young people don’t see piracy as stealing. One survey found
that 86 percent of teens felt music piracy was “morally acceptable.”
The Solution: Make it personal. Invite students to write about what it would feel like to get a
record deal, star in a movie, or have a book published. As a class, discuss the emotions
involved. Then introduce the idea of piracy. Ask, “How would you feel if someone
downloaded your music, movie, or book without paying for it?” You might also talk about
how it would feel to not get paid for other types of work, such as working in an office or a
school. How is piracy similar? How is it different?

6. Use Your Networks
The Skill: Using social networks and information tools to gather and share information
The Challenge: Some kids do not understand the line between sharing information and
plagiarizing it. A survey by plagiarism-prevention firm Turnitin found that the most widely
used sources for cribbed material are sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, and Ask.com.
The Solution: Talk to kids about when you might use social sites for research. Provide a list
of topics and have partners decide whether it would be a good idea to use these tools.
Suggested topics: your family’s countries of origin, the life of Alexander the Great, and the
events of September 11, 2001. What could members of your network contribute to each of
these discussions? How wouldn’t they be helpful? How would you include information that
friends and family share in your work?
Also explain that Wikipedia must be evaluated like any other website. Students should focus
on the sources cited in a Wikipedia article and ensure these sources are legitimate. You might
have small groups analyze all of the sources for one Wikipedia article for currency, authority,
scope, and security. Emphasize that it is usually better to go back to the original source than
to quote directly from Wikipedia.

ICT Tools Useful in Research

The following are some common websites, tools, and other online resources that may provide
you with better access to the information you are looking for.
Search Engines:
- Google (www.google.com)
- Bing (www.bing.com)
- Duckduckgo (www.duckduckgo.com)
Academic Search Engines

- Google Scholar (scholar.google.com)
- Microsoft Academic (academic.microsoft.com)
Digital Libraries
- JSTOR (www.jstor.org)
- SciELO (http://scielo.org)
- Google Books (books.google.com)
24
The XU SHS Library also has an extensive collection of books, publications, articles, tools and
other resources that can help you with your research. They can provide you with a copy digitally
or borrow the materials in person. (http://shs.library.xu.edu.ph)
Verification of online materials. Criteria to evaluate your source material:

● Currency – Is the information up to date?
● Security - Does the site ask too much personal information?
● Scope - Is the information in-depth?
● Authority – Does the information come from a trusted expert?
Internet Ethics and Netiquette

Internet ethics, or netiquette, is a set of rules and guidelines that determines how to properly
communicate and use the web. The following are some examples of good practices when using
the internet:
1. Do not share sensitive information online, especially to people you barely know.
2. Be careful when clicking links sent to you via private message or emails.
3. Keep an antivirus software installed on your computer.
4. Think before you post. When you put something on the internet it may stay there forever.
Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property laws protect the rights of people to maintain legal ownership of their works
and ideas. It covers their right to control whether their work can be acquired or used for a cost.
Someone who takes the work or idea of another person and claims it as their own may be
accused of theft. Artworks, novels, stories, poems, music, and movies are only some of the
copyrighted things that are available online. These can be copied without a single cent given to
the authors of the works. With improvements in internet technology, copying and distribution of
illegally copied materials will more likely be more frequent.

Lesson 3: Advanced Productivity Tools -
Microsoft Powerpoint
Lesson 3: Advanced Productivity Tools - MS Office Applications

In the previous lesson, you learned how you can ensure the information we collected from the
internet came from reliable and legitimate sources. With the right tools and techniques, you can
make sure that the research you do online will yield genuine results that come from trustworthy
sources or authors.
In this lesson, you will learn additional tips on how to use advanced features of MS Office
applications that we can use in our future profession..
HOW DO I USE ADVANCED MS WORD TOOLS TO DEVELOP CONTENT

Term, research, and thesis papers usually come around at the end of the semester. Unlike essays,
these papers require extensive research, citation of sources, and seemingly endless revisions.
You print and submit the first draft to your teacher, he/she evaluates it, and later, returns it to you
with editing and proofreading marks only to find out that almost 90 percent of your work need to
be revised. you update your work and print again, but the teacher still finds writing mistakes in
the paper. The cycle is painstaking, but you need not to do that because there’s MS Word to the
rescue and it already has a proofreading tool along with other useful editing tools that you may

Microsoft Word is a word processing application developed by

the Microsoft Corporation. It lets you create documents for your
assignments, term paper, research work, letters, certificates,
articles, or just edit any text document. It provides several
features that make your work much easier.
The next section discusses some of the features of MS Word that

you can use to make you more productive and assist you in the
creation of your project.
28
These features are:
● References: Citation and Bibliography
● Review: Tracking Changes
● Mail Merge
References: Citations and Bibliography

In writing a research paper, you will most likely gather information from the internet. This gives
you easy access to needed ideas and information but puts you at risk in committing plagiarism.
To prevent committing that offense, you need to learn how to paraphrase text and citation. You
can do this manually, but if you must regularly update your list or use a different style, you will
have to redo everything. With Microsoft Word all you have to do is input the sources of
information and the application will create and update your bibliography or references
automatically.
Word automatically generates a bibliography from the sources you used to write your paper.
Each time you add a new citation to your document, Word adds that source so that it appears in
the bibliography in the proper format, such as MLA, APA, and Chicago-style.
Add a citation after a quote

1. On the References tab , in the Citations & Bibliography group, click the arrow next to
Style.
2. Click the style that you want to use for the citation and source.
3. Click at the end of the sentence or phrase that you want to cite.
4. Click Insert Citation and then select Add New Source.
5. In the Create Source box, type in the citation details, and then click OK.
When you've completed these steps, the citation is added to the list of available citations. The
next time you quote this reference, you don't have to type it all out again, just click Insert
Citation and select the citation you want to use.
29
Create a bibliography from your sources
If you want to create a bibliography from your sources, do the following:
1. Click where you want to insert a bibliography. Typically, they are at the end of a
document.
2. On the References tab, in the Citations & Bibliography group, click Bibliography.
Similar to the Table of Contents builder in Word, you can select a predesigned bibliography
format that includes a title, or you can just click Insert Bibliography to add the citation without
a title.
If you want to learn more about using citation placeholders and editing sources, take a look at
Create a bibliography. Or, if you want to export your bibliography sources to another computer,
check out this post on the Microsoft Word blog.
APA 6th Edition citation style fix procedure.

APA style uses the author's name and publication date. If you have multiple citations from the
same author, there is a known Word bug where the citation generator fills in the publication title
when it's not supposed to. If this happens to you, here's how to fix the problem:
1. In the Word document, click the citation.

2. Click the down-arrow, and then click Edit Citation.
3. Click the Title checkbox, and then click OK.
Track Changes in a Document

Turning on Track Changes gives you and your coworkers a way to make changes that are easy to
spot. The changes are like suggestions that you can review, and then remove them or make them
permanent.
Turn Track Changes on and off
30
● On the Review tab, go to Tracking and select Track Changes.
○ When Track Changes is on, deletions are marked with a strikethrough, and
additions are marked with an underline. Different authors' changes are indicated
with different colors.
○ When Track Changes is off, Word stops marking changes, but the colored
underlines and strikethrough from your changes remain in the document until
they're accepted or rejected.
Show or hide comments or tracked changes
Display all changes inline

The default in Word is to display deletions and comments in balloons in the margins of the
document. However, you can change the display to show comments inline and all deletions with
strikethroughs instead of inside balloons.
1. On the Review tab, go to Tracking.

2. Select Show Markup.
3. Point to Balloons and select Show All Revisions Inline.
View inline comments as ScreenTips.

● Rest the pointer on a comment in the document. The comment appears in a ScreenTip.
Display changes by type of edit or by reviewer

1. On the Review tab, go to Tracking and select Show Markup.
2. Do one of the following:
31
○ Select the type of change that you want to display.
For example, select Comments, Insertions and Deletions, or Formatting. The

check mark next to the item indicates that the item is selected.
Important: Even if you hide a type of markup by clearing it on the Show Markup
menu, the markup automatically appears each time the document is opened by
you or a reviewer.
○ Point to Specific People, and then clear all check boxes except the ones next to
the names of the reviewers whose changes and comments you want to show.
Note: To select or clear all check boxes for all reviewers in the list, select All
Reviewers.
Review a summary of tracked changes

Using the Reviewing Pane you can quickly ensure that all tracked changes have been removed
from your document. The summary section at the top of the Reviewing Pane displays the exact
number of tracked changes and comments that remain in your document.
The Reviewing Pane also allows you to read long comments that don't fit within a comment
bubble.
1. On the Review tab, go to Tracking and select Reviewing Pane.

○ To view the summary at the side of your screen, select Reviewing Pane Vertical.
○ To view the summary across the bottom of your screen, select Reviewing Pane
Horizontal.
By default, the Reviewing Pane shows at the top how many total revisions are in the document.
To see the number and type of the changes, select the carat next to the number of revisions.
32
Review each tracked change in sequence
1. Click or tap at the beginning of the document.
2. On the Review tab, go to Changes.
3. Select Accept or Reject. As you accept or reject changes, Word will move to the next
change.
4. Repeat until there are no more tracked changes or comments in your document.
Accept or reject a single change

Rather than move through changes in sequence, you can accept or reject a single change. When
you accept or reject the change, Word will not move to the next change in the document.
● Right-click the change and select the option to accept or reject it.
Review changes by type of edit or by a specific reviewer

1. Click or tap at the beginning of the document.
2. On the Review tab, go to Tracking.
3. In the Show Markup list, do one of the following:

○ Clear all check boxes except for those next to the types of changes that you want
to review.
33
○ Point to Specific People, and then clear all check boxes except those next to the
names of the reviewers whose changes you want to see or choose All Reviewers
to select or clear the check boxes for all reviewers in the list.
5. Select Accept or Reject. As you accept or reject changes, Word will move to the next
change.
6. Repeat until you've reviewed all of the changes in your document.
Accept all changes at the same time

1. Go to Review > Changes.
2. In the Accept list, select Accept All Changes or Accept All Changes and Stop Tracking.
Accept or reject all changes at the same time

○ In the Accept drop-down list, select Accept All Changes.
○ In the Reject drop-down list, select Reject All Changes.

HOW DO I USE MS EXCEL TO PROCESS AND PRESENT DATA?
In the previous section, we learned how to use MS Word to develop,

evaluate, and finalize content of your project document. To proceed,
we will learn about advanced MS Excel features that will enable you
to process the date you have gathered and present them in a graphical
format. This will help us to eventually perform statistical tasks that
you will encounter in your future workplace.
Explore:
Below is a scenario for you to explore. In a cooking show, there are
two finalists vying for the title “Master Pastry Chef”. The organizers of the show invited five
Filipino cuisine exports to judge who deserved the title and they also invited you and your friend
to supervise and tally the scores. Help determine the winner by computing the total scores based
on weighted criteria. Do this manually and take note how long it took you to complete.

Based on your computation, who is the winner? How many minutes did it take you to finish the
computation?
Computing data, especially large amounts of it, might take a lot of time and effort to do
manually. It is time consuming and requires a lot of effort. Electronic spreadsheets, such as MS
Excel, were created to allow us to complete tasks such as these in a faster and more efficient
manner.
Formulas and Functions
Some of the often-used features in Excel are in the Formulas tab. Excel uses standard
mathematical operators for formulas:
+ addition
- subtraction
37
* multiplication
/ division
^ exponents
You must also remember that the equals sign (=) must be entered first to start using a formula.
Complex formulas follow the PEMDAS rule.
You can create a simple formula to add, subtract, multiply or divide values in your worksheet.
Simple formulas always start with an equal sign (=), followed by constants that are numeric
values and calculation operators such as plus (+), minus (-), asterisk(*), or forward slash (/)
signs.
Let's take an example of a simple formula.

1. On the worksheet, click the cell in which you want to enter the formula.
2. Type the = (equal sign) followed by the constants and operators that you want to use in
the calculation. For our example, type =1+1.
Notes:
○ Instead of typing the constants into your formula, you can select the cells that
contain the values that you want to use and enter the operators in between
selecting cells.
○ Following the standard order of mathematical operations, multiplication and
division is performed before addition and subtraction.
3. Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac).
Functions
A function is a predefined formula in Excel that performs calculations for a specific value using
reference cells. Excel has different functions for various operations. Let use review the parts of a
function below.
There are numerous functions defined in Excel, but we will focus on the following common
functions.
1. Sum - this function adds all the values of cells in the argument
2. Average - this function will get the average of all the values of cells in the argument
3. Count - this counts the number of cells with numerical data in the argument
4. Max - this function gets highest cell value in the argument
5. Min - this function gets lowest cell value in the argument
Create a formula that refers to values in other cells

1. Select a cell.
2. Type the equal sign =.
Note: Formulas in Excel always begin with the equal sign.
38
3. Select a cell or type its address in the selected cell.
4. Enter an operator. For example, – for subtraction.

5. Select the next cell, or type its address in the selected cell.
6. Press Enter. The result of the calculation appears in the cell with the formula.
View a formula
1. When a formula is entered into a cell, it also appears in the Formula bar.
2. To see a formula, select a cell, and it will appear in the formula bar.
Enter a formula that contains a built-in function

1. Select an empty cell.
2. Type an equal sign = and then type a function. For example, =SUM for getting the total
sales.
3. Type an opening parenthesis (.
4. Select the range of cells, and then type a closing parenthesis).
5. Press Enter to get the result.

Sorting
One of the features of Excel is that you can manage your data by quickly sorting them
alphabetically, numerically, and other ways.
Types of sorting
Sort sheet - sort all data in your worksheet by one column. Related information is kept together
when sorted. An example of this is a list of students to be arranged according to their class
number.
Sort Range - sorts the data in a range of cells, which can be helpful when working with a sheet
that contains several tables. Only the contents of the table will be sorted. Sorting a range will not
affect other content of the worksheet.
Sort text
1. Select a cell in the column you want to sort.
2. On the Data tab, in the Sort & Filter group, do one of the following:
○ To quick sort in ascending order, click (Sort A to Z).
○ To quick sort in descending order, click (Sort Z to A).
Sort numbers
2. On the Data tab, in the Sort & Filter group, do one of the following:
○ To sort from low to high, click (Sort Smallest to Largest).
○ To sort from high to low, click (Sort Largest to Smallest).
39
Sort by more than one column or row
You may want to sort by more than one column or row when you have data that you want to
group by the same value in one column or row, and then sort another column or row within that
group of equal values. For example, if you have a Department column and an Employee column,
you can first sort by Department (to group all the employees in the same department together),
and then sort by name (to put the names in alphabetical order within each department). You can
sort by up to 64 columns.
Note: For best results, the range of cells that you sort should have column headings.
1. Select any cell in the data range.
2. On the Data tab, in the Sort & Filter group, click Sort.
3. In the Sort dialog box, under Column, in the Sort by box, select the first column that
you want to sort.
4. Under Sort On, select the type of sort. Do one of the following:
○ To sort by text, number, or date and time, select Values.
○ To sort by format, select Cell Color, Font Color, or Cell Icon.
40
5. Under Order, select how you want to sort. Do one of the following:
○ For text values, select A to Z or Z to A.
○ For number values, select Smallest to Largest or Largest to Smallest.
○ For date or time values, select Oldest to Newest or Newest to Oldest.
○ To sort based on a custom list, select Custom List.
6. To add another column to sort by, click Add Level, and then repeat steps three through
five.
7. To copy a column to sort by, select the entry and then click Copy Level.
8. To delete a column to sort by, select the entry and then click Delete Level.
Note: You must keep at least one entry in the list.
9. To change the order in which the columns are sorted, select an entry and then click the
Up or Down arrow next to the Options button to change the order.
Entries higher in the list are sorted before entries lower in the list.
Sort by a custom list

You can use a custom list to sort in a user-defined order. For example, a column might contain
values that you want to sort by, such as High, Medium, and Low.
How can you sort so that rows containing High appear first, followed by Medium, and then
Low? If you were to sort alphabetically, an “A to Z” sort would put High at the top, but Low
would come before Medium. And if you sorted “Z to A,”
Medium would appear first, with Low in the middle. Regardless of the order, you always want
“Medium” in the middle. By creating your own custom list, you can get around this problem.
41
1. Optionally, create a custom list:
1. In a range of cells, enter the values that you want to sort by, in the order that you
want them, from top to bottom as in this example.
2. Select the range that you just entered. Using the preceding example, select cells
A1:A3.
3. Go to File > Options > Advanced > General > Edit Custom Lists, then in the
Custom Lists dialog box, click Import, and then click OK twice.
Notes:
■ You can create a custom list based only on a value (text, number, and date
or time). You cannot create a custom list based on a format (cell color,
font color, or icon).
■ The maximum length for a custom list is 255 characters, and the first
character must not begin with a number.
3. On the Data tab, in the Sort & Filter group, click Sort.
4. In the Sort dialog box, under Column, in the Sort by or Then by box, select the column
that you want to sort by a custom list.
5. Under Order, select Custom List.
6. In the Custom Lists dialog box, select the list that you want. Using the custom list that
you created in the preceding example, click High, Medium, Low.
7. Click OK.
42
Filtering
One of the features of Excel is to narrow down data in your worksheet, allowing you to view
only the information you need. This feature is called Filter.
Filter a range of data

1. Select any cell within the range.
2. Select Data > Filter.
3. Select the column header arrow .

4. Select Text Filters or Number Filters, and then select a comparison, like Between.
5. Enter the filter criteria and select OK.
Filter data in a table

When you put your data in a table, filter controls are automatically added to the table headers.
43
1. Select the column header arrow for the column you want to filter.
2. Uncheck (Select All) and select the boxes you want to show.
3. Click OK.
The column header arrow changes to a Filter icon. Select this icon to change or
clear the filter.
Charts
Sometimes, it is difficult to interpret Excel workbooks which have a lot of data. A chart is a
graphical representation of your workbook data that’s easier to visualize for comparisons and
trends.
Create a chart (graph) that is recommended for your data, almost as fast as using the chart wizard
that is no longer available.
Create a chart
1. Select the data for which you want to create a chart.
2. Click INSERT > Recommended Charts.
3. On the Recommended Charts tab, scroll through the list of charts that Excel
recommends for your data, and click any chart to see how your data will look. If you
don’t see a chart you like, click All Charts to see all the available chart types.
4. When you find the chart you like, click it > OK.
5. Use the Chart Elements, Chart Styles, and Chart Filters buttons, next to the upper-
right corner of the chart to add chart elements like axis titles or data labels, customize the
look of your chart, or change the data that is shown in the chart.
6. To access additional design and formatting features, click anywhere in the chart to add
the CHART TOOLS to the ribbon, and then click the options you want on the DESIGN
and FORMAT tabs.
44
Creating a Gantt chart in MS Excel
A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule, named after its inventor,
Henry Gantt, who designed such a chart around the years 1910–1915. Modern Gantt charts also
show the dependency relationships between activities and the current schedule status. This is
commonly used in showing project timelines and milestones to keep everyone on track.
Excel does not offer Gantt as chart type, but it's easy to create a Gantt chart by customizing the
stacked bar chart type. Below you can find our Gantt chart data.
To create a Gantt chart, execute the following steps.

1. Select the range A3:C11.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Charts group, click the Column symbol.
3. Click Stacked Bar.
Result:
45
4. Enter a title by clicking on Chart Title. For example, Build a House.
5. Click the legend at the bottom and press Delete.
6. The tasks (Foundation, Walls, etc.) are in reverse order. Right click the tasks on the chart,
click Format Axis and check 'Categories in reverse order'.
Result:
46
7. Right click the blue bars, click Format Data Series, Fill & Line icon, Fill, No fill.
8. Dates and times are stored as numbers in Excel and count the number of days since January 0,
1900. 1-jun-2017 (start) is the same as 42887. 15-jul-2017 (end) is the same as 42931. Right
click the dates on the chart, click Format Axis and fix the minimum bound to 42887, maximum
bound to 42931 and Major unit to 7.
47
Result. A Gantt chart in Excel.
Note that the plumbing and electrical work can be executed simultaneously.

HOW CAN I RECORD MY PRESENTATION IN MS POWERPOINT?
In the previous section, we learned advanced MS Excel tools that enabled you to process the data
you gathered and present these using charts and graphs. In this lesson, we will use Powerpoint to
create an effective presentation and also record them for online viewing.
Humans understand and learn faster through visual aids and

graphics, and with this in mind, you can develop slide
presentations that would be as effective as they are visually
appealing. With MS Powerpoint, we can create visually
appealing and interactive presentations, and we can insert screen
recordings and even a video of ourselves without the need of
extra applications to make it ready for online viewing.
Screen Recording in Microsoft Powerpoint

Aside from animations, transitions, and adding media, you can record your screen, or a portion
of it, and insert it in Powerpoint.
PowerPoint comes with a built-in, no-nonsense screen recorder. There are a lot of things that
PowerPoint’s screen recorder cannot do that more full-featured screen recording software can,
but that is the beauty of it—it is great for a quick, no-fuss recording.
First, open PowerPoint, head to the “Insert” tab, and then click “Screen Recording.”
49
PowerPoint will minimize, and the screen recording dock will appear at the top of your screen.
Here’s where the “simplicity” of PowerPoint’s screen recording feature comes in—you only
have five options. By default, PowerPoint will record audio and your cursor. Toggle these
options to disable them if you want. When you’re ready to move on, click “Select Area.”
Your pointer will turn into a crosshair. Click and drag to select the area of your screen you want
to record.
50
Next, click the “Record” button in the screen recorder dock.
A three-second countdown will begin. Once it reaches zero, your recording will begin. When you have
finished recording everything, move your cursor back to the top of the screen where the dock was, and the
dock will reappear. Click “Stop.” Your screen recording will now appear in your PowerPoint slide.
Customizing Your Recording

Now that you have successfully embedded the recording in your presentation, you might want to adjust a
few of the settings. There are a few things you can do here, including trimming the video, setting how the
video plays during the presentation, or applying a style to the video’s frame.
Trimming Your Video

There may be a few seconds of your video that you would like to remove. You can trim these parts out
directly in PowerPoint. Right-click the video and select “Trim.”
51
The “Trim Video” window will appear. Here, click and drag the green and red bars to adjust the start and
stop time, respectively. Once you have set this up, click “OK.”
Setting Video Playback Rules

You can tell PowerPoint how to play your video during the presentation. To do this, right-click the video
and select “Start” from the menu.
A sub-menu will appear, presenting three different playback options:
o In Click Sequence: The video will play in the appropriate order you have set in terms of
actionable sequences (such as animations).
o Automatically: The video will automatically play when it appears.
o When Clicked On: The video will play when you click on it.
52
Applying Frame Styles
If you want to make your video more visually appealing, you can apply a frame to it. To
do so, right-click the video and select “Style” from the menu.
A sub-menu will appear, presenting a large library of frames for your video. Hovering
over each one will show a live preview of how the frame will look.
Select the one you like, and it will be applied to your video. Try it on your own!
53
Slideshow Recording in Microsoft Powerpoint
Before you get started, make sure the PowerPoint file is saved as recent PowerPoint (PPTX) file.
If the file is a PPT, you may lose recorded audio. To check and fix this (if necessary), choose
SAVE AS, then make sure the format is "PowerPoint Presentation (*.pptx)", not "PowerPoint
97-2003 Presentation." The PowerPoint icon should have a P on it.
To get started recording a presentation, load up your PowerPoint and click the Slide Show tab.

Recording
To get started recording, click the RECORD SLIDE SHOW button. You may be asked whether
you want to start from the current slide or from the beginning of the presentation, make the
appropriate selection depending on where you want to start recording from.
This launches the recording stage.
Click the big red button to start recording. You will get a three second countdown, then you can
start talking over your slides. Use the drawing tools at the bottom of the screen to annotate your
slides as you go. Click the onscreen arrow button or the right, down, or space keys on your
keyboard to advance to the next slide. Click the square button to stop recording.
Recording Notes
1. This recording process adds your audio (and video, if you're capturing webcam footage as
well) to the slides themselves. As a result, you can only advance your presentation while
recording. If you're going to want to refer back to a previous slide as part of your
presentation, include that slide twice -- once when it appears naturally, and again when you
want to re-refer to it.
54
2. Because you are recording audio to each slide, talking through transitions between slides
does not work well. Stop and take a breath when advancing to the next slide to avoid audio
issues.
3. If you have got the webcam turned on, your audio will be bound to the video. This means
you will not be able to remove the video from a slide without also removing the audio. If you
just want video on the first couple slides, start the recording with your webcam turned on,
then stop the recording when you want to switch to audio only, turn off the webcam, and start
recording again.
Once you are done recording, click the X button in the upper right corner of the screen or hit the
ESC key on your keyboard to close the recording stage.
At this point, you should save your PowerPoint presentation as you normally would.
If you captured video, you could move the video window around on a slide-by-slide basis
(making sure it does not obscure important content in your presentation). You can style or trim
your media by right-clicking on the media and choosing the appropriate option.

MUTE AUDIO / DISABLE VIDEO / HIDE VIDEO PREVIEW
In the bottom right of the recording stage
are controls for muting audio, turning off
video, and showing or hiding the cam
preview. While recording is in process
(paused counts as still in process) you
cannot switch any of these options except
the cam preview.
55
CLEAR RECORDING FROM A SLIDE / ALL SLIDES
Click the arrow next to the "CLEAR" label in the upper right, then select whether you want to
clear the recording from just the current slide or from all the slides in your presentation.
SELECT A MEDIA SOURCE

In the upper right you can select a different source for your audio or video feed. For the best
sound quality, we recommend using a headset with a built-in microphone.
EXPORT TO VIDEO
Once your recording is done, click FILE, then EXPORT, then choose Create a Video to produce
a video file of your presentation. On the Create a Video page, the file type defaults to Full HD.
We recommend you change to HD (720p) or STANDARD (480p). The smaller the number, the
smaller the file and the less time it will take to render the video. Once you have got your settings
selected, click CREATE VIDEO to start the export process.
56
Be patient. It will take some time create the video. You can track the progress in the bottom right
of your PowerPoint window, just left of the notes button and view selectors. If you want to
cancel the recording process, click the little X button.
Once you have got the video file, you can submit it to Microsoft Teams.

Some tips in Improving your Presentation
Before going any further, here are some tips that can help you improve your Powerpoint
presentation.
1. Keep it simple - complex slide designs tend to distract your audience from what you are
saying and keep them from understanding your message. The less clutter on the screen,
the better.
2. Follow the 5/5/5 rule - To keep your audience from feeling overwhelmed, you should
keep the text on each slide short and to the point. Some experts suggest using the 5/5/5
rule: no more than five words per line of text, five lines of text per slide, or five text-
heavy slides in a row.
3. Know your audience - Who will be watching your presentation? The same goofy effects
and funny clip art that would entertain a classroom full of middle-school students might
make you look unprofessional in front of business colleagues and clients. Humor can
lighten up a presentation, but if you use it inappropriately your audience might think you
don’t know what you’re doing. Know your audience, and tailor your presentation to their
tastes and expectations.
4. Don't read your presentation straight from the slides - If your audience can both read
and hear, it’s a waste of time for you to simply read your slides aloud. Your audience will
zone out and stop listening to what you’re saying, which means they won’t hear any extra
information you include. Instead of typing out your entire presentation, include only main
ideas, keywords, and talking points in your slide show text. Engage your audience by
sharing the details out loud.
5. Choose readable colors and fonts - Your text should be easy to read and pleasant to
look at. Large, simple fonts and theme colors are always your best bet. The best fonts and
58
colors can vary depending on your presentation setting. Presenting in a large room? Make
your text larger than usual so people in the back can read it. Presenting with the lights on?
Dark text on a light background is your best bet for visibility.
6. Don't overload your presentation with animations - As anyone who’s sat through a
presentation while every letter of every paragraph zoomed across the screen can tell you,
being inundated with complicated animations and exciting slide transitions can become
irritating. Before including effects like this in your presentation, ask yourself: Would this
moment in the presentation be equally strong without an added effect? Does it
unnecessarily delay information? If the answer to either question is yes—or even maybe
—leave out the effect.
7. Use animations sparingly to enhance your presentation - Don’t take the last tip to
mean you should avoid animations and other effects entirely. When used sparingly, subtle
effects and animations can add to your presentation. For example, having bullet points
appear as you address them rather than before can help keep your audience’s attention.

LESSON 4: Basic Principles of Graphics and

Information Design
In this lesson, we will learn about the elements and principles of design to effectively
communicate an idea.
The Elements of Design

Point, Line, and Space – The basic elements of design that have limited form. The way these
are used, especially when combined with other elements, affects the overall perception of any
communication.
Point – Is simply a dot. It establishes a position and acts as a visual focus.

Line – A line is created by connecting two or more points. It can also have other
elements like color, texture, and movement applied to it. Though basic in appearance, lines can
control the viewer’s thoughts and emotions, and lead a viewer’s eye through space.one
Space – Refers to the surface that acts as a visual container, drawing attention
to other elements in a layout. Designers use space as a means of defining the format and
proportion in a layout.
Shape - A shape is a two- or three-dimensional object that stands out from the space next to it
because of a defined or implied boundary. A shape can live in different areas in space, and have
other elements like line, color, texture, or movement. Everything is ultimately a shape, so you
must always think in terms of how the various elements of your design are creating shapes, and
how those shapes are interacting.
Color - Color is one of the most obvious elements of design, for both the user and the designer.
It can stand alone, as a background, or be applied to other elements, like lines, shapes, textures,
or typography. Color creates a mood within the piece and tells a story about the brand. Every
color says something different, and combinations can alter that impression further
Size – Size refers to how large or small something is in a document. Size is very important in
making the elements of a document coincide with one another and makes the layout more
attractive and organized. It displays what is most important, attracts attention, and helps to fit the
layout together.
Texture – Texture is the look or feel of a surface is known as texture. Visual texture creates an
illusion of texture on a printed material or webpage. Printed patterns are a type of visual texture.
Tactile texture can be felt physically. Nowadays, even paper can come in various textures. The
wide selection of textures used on paper and other materials can be translated accurately into
rich, layered graphics.

1. What do you think are other uses of color in a design?
2. What are other possible uses of texture?
3. How can space and negative space affect a design?
78
The Principles of Design
These 5 basic principles are the fundamental components of art composition. Knowing to
appreciate the Principles of design is essential for the creation of successful visual expression.
By utilizing the Elements and Principles, an artist or designer can accurately portray a visual
concept effectively.
Balance – Balance refers to the equal distribution of weigh, which in design, applies to visual
weight. Elements such as size, lightness, and thickness can be scaled accordingly in a design.
The two kinds of balance are symmetrical and asymmetrical balance. Symmetrical balance is the
even distribution of elements in a design. Asymmetrical balance is the uneven arrangement of
elements such that one side of a design has more weight. Color, value, size, and texture can be
used as balancing elements.
Examples of symmetrical balance
Examples of asymmetrical balance
Contrast – Contrast is the placement of heavy and light elements within the page.
The larger, darker elements appear heavier in the designs than smaller and lighter elements.
Examples of contrast
Emphasis – Emphasis is the distribution of heavy and light elements in a design. It determines
which elements within the design are focused on the most and which ones are given less
attention.
79
Examples of emphasis
Rhythm – Rhythm is the repetition of heavy and light elements in a design. It creates a mood
and sense of movement. Variety in repeated elements makes the rhythm of a design more
exciting.
Example of rhythm
Unity – Unity refers to the feeling of harmony that is created by all the parts and elements of a
design. When a particular design is said to be unified, it means that a sense of completeness can
be felt from the work.

USING INFOGRAPHICS TO PRESENT DATA
In the previous chapter, we have learned the elements of design and the principles of design and
how they are applied in today’s visual media. In this lesson, you will apply your previous
knowledge in making an infographic for your project.
At a quick

say about the
design/?
Since the advent of minimalist design, we have seen many infographics similar to the one above
in every area of our society, from printed materials to websites, and even in campaign ads. No
matter what the medium is, they all represent information in a more eye-catching way than text-
only materials. In this lesson, we will discuss and learn what makes infographics work and what
to consider when making them.

Activity 4.2: LET’S TRY THIS! Write down your thoughts on the differences between
Graphic Design and Information Design.
GRAPHIC DESIGN INFORMATION DESIGN
84
What is an Infographic?
The representation of data using colors, shapes, line, and other visual elements is called data
visualization. Through data visualization, information overload caused by a mass of disorganized
information can be avoided. Charts and graphs were the most common methods of data
visualization in the past, but nowadays, it serves as but a part of a more comprehensive way of
presenting not only data but other kinds of relevant information. This visualization is called an
information graphic, or simply, ang infographic.
Elements of an effective Infographic
Source: https://infogram.com/page/infographic
85
Types of Infographics
Visual Article – an infographic in which wordy content is made more visual. Best used for
information spread via social media. Has a strong title and lots of content.
Timeline – outlines events chronologically. Can either be simple or complex. Invites the viewer
to go on a historical journey through interesting and relevant content and design.
Flowchart – designed to make the viewer answer a series of questions to reach a particular
answer. Often funny and lighthearted, it also works well on social media.
Cheat Sheet – serves as a quick reference for different kinds of information. Can also be in the
form of a step-by-step process on how to do things.
Comparison – a visual comparison of two things. Best used with effective visual presentation
and large amount of data.
Numerical – an infographic whose primary content is comprised of numbers, charts, graphs, or

statistical data.
Photo Infographic – pictures are used to tell the story or message of the infographic. Usually
design in a simple manner using actual photos to answer questions or describe something.
Data Visualization – also used for large data, but the focus is on creative visualization. Highly
dependent on design to be effectively visualized.
Creating Infographics using Canva

If you are already familiar with image authoring tools, you can easily create your own
infographics. If not, there are tools that are freely available for you to use to create infographics.
One example is Canva. It is an easy-to-use web-based graphics editing tool that allows users to
create professional-looking infographics, posters, and other visual graphics material, without the
need for extensive experience in graphic design
To build your infographic, you will need to first sign up for Canva by creating a free account.
You can sign up using your email or with your Google or Facebook account.
1. Choose an infographic template
86
Once you’re logged into the editor, choose the dimensions of your final image. You can select a
custom size, or choose from one of the pre-built templates. Search for “Infographics ” on the
homepage. The default size for an infographic is 800 x 2,000 px.
2. Select your design style
After you’ve chosen the right size canvas for your project, Canva rolls out a list of layout options
that will serve as the base of your infographics. There are literally hundreds of designs to choose
from, but the first 50 are typically the most customizable
3. Customize the background and select fonts
Now that you’ve selected a stunning template, it’s time to choose an eye-catching background.
Canva provides unique infographic skins for free, and you can pick from a library of different
patterns, colors, and design elements.
87
To change the background, click on the background icon in the left sidebar. The background
options are sorted by color and include everything from solid colors and macro-photography, to
quirky sketches and minimalist patterns.
Changing color palettes is simple. Just click on the canvas, then click on the multi-colored box at
the top of the design space. Use the search box that pops up to find a variety of relevant color
schemes.
Add or change fonts in your graphic by selecting the text icon on the left side. Drag and drop the
type of text you want to the canvas, remove the demo content, and start typing. There are
thousands of fonts to choose from in Canva. Select a font that works with your branding and the
content of your infographics. Use the standard text editor features to fill out the details of your
infographics.
Because the typography can be so dramatically customized, using certain fonts can affect your
infographic’s template. Make sure you’re paying attention to the readability of the content.
4. Add graphical elements
The ease at which Canva lets you add graphic elements is a big reason why we decided to choose
Canva for our ‘how to create an infographic’ guide. Infographics are so effective because they
use powerful imagery to convey key data points. Be sure you’re picking relevant images to
represent your info.
88
To select an element, double click on the type you want. You will find several styling options
available for each type (“grids”, “icons”, etc.). Simply drag and drop the elements you like and
resize to fit your design by dragging the corners. If you’re looking for something specific, use the
search box provided to filter the results.
5. Download your file
When you’ve settled on the perfect design for your infographic, click the download button to
bring up a list of file types.
Adjacent to that button is the sharing option. Canva allows you to share your Infographics
directly to social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. You can even use the embed tool
to add your infographic to a guest post and boost user engagement. Sharing your content is an
important step in generating brand awareness.

project can be managed and competed before the deadline.
In this lesson, we will talk about what technologies and platforms can we use when we
want to put our project online for the world to see. We will also discuss what are some
differences in these platforms and which ones should we use.
EXPLORE. Think of a house. Answer the following questions:

Why do people take a lot of time planning where their house should stand?
Does the address of a house matter?
Why do people invest so much time in planning and designing their house?
In this lesson, we will not be self-hosting our website but it is essential to have prior knowledge
of web hosting and the domain name system if you decide to self-host in the future.

Activity 5.1
Instruction: Using the internet, search for the definition of each of the different types of web
hosting and write them in the table below.
Shared Web Hosting
Dedicated Web Hosting
Virtual Private Server
Colocation Hosting
Activity 5.2
Instruction: True or False. Write True if the statement is correct and False if not.
__________ 1. Web hosting is a service that allows individuals to publish a web

page on the internet.
__________ 2. The uploaded websites are hosted, or stored, on an assigned
computer called a server.
__________ 3. Internet users cannot view your website by just typing its URL.
__________ 4. Dedicated web hosting is a more expensive type of service that
allows users to have full control of their website.
__________ 5. Colocation hosting is the common type of web hosting that shares
server resources with multiple websites.
97
Domain Name System (DNS)
This is a service that interprets domain names
into IP addresses. For instance, when you type
a specific web address, or URL, the given DNS
will correspond to that specific name and the IP
address for that computer and will connect you
to that site.
Web Page Design Using Templates and

Online WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Platforms
Creating your own website requires time and effort to make it appealing. Before the WYSIWG
(pronounced “wee-see-wig”) was introduced, people used manual coding using text editors to
build websites. Formatting and designing was very time consuming until the first WYSIWG
HTML editor, WebMagic, was launched in 1995 by Silicon Graphics. These days, most
individuals use online website builder applications since it’s much easier to use and allows them
to finish making their websites faster. Here are some common online website makers.

How to Make a Website with Wix

https://themeisle.com/blog/make-a-website-with-wix/
99
Wix: A quick introduction
While most people like to use Wordpress for its flexibility, Wix is a good option for those who
prefer a simpler, more “hands-off” website building experience.
How to make a website with Wix in six steps
1. Create a Wix account

To make a website with Wix, you will first need to register for an account. Open the Wix
homepage and select Get Started. You will then be asked to enter your email address and create
an account.
After answering a few short questions about your new website, the sign-up process is
complete. Next, you will be asked whether you want to create a website within the Wix Editor or
let the Wix ADI tool design a website for you.
2. Let Wix ADI create a website for you
100
Although Wix’s artificial intelligence designer (ADI) is a useful tool, its design and
customization options are limited compared to the Wix templates and editor. Therefore, if you
have a basic understanding of website design (and I mean basic), you can stick ahead to Step 3 to
choose your template.
However, if you are totally new to building a website, then Wix ADI may be a good option for
you.
After selecting Start Now, the tool will then ask you a few questions about your new project.
Make sure you carefully choose the design options that most appeal to you as the ADI tool will
design a website based on your answers.
Your new website will then open within the ADI Editor.
The ADI Editor is easy to navigate. But here are just a few pointers to get you started
101
● Elements – Click on an element to customize it. The settings for a selected element will
appear in the left-hand menu bar where you can then make any necessary alterations.
Options include changing the images, writing text, adding buttons, and more.
● Add a Page – Select Pages > Add Page from the top menu bar. Then select from a range
of new page types and pre-made page templates.
● Design – Click on Design in the top menu to change your website’s theme and layout, or
alter global colors, fonts, and more.
However, if you want more control over your website, you’ll be better off skipping the ADI and
selecting your own template (which is the recommended method).
3. Choose a Wix website template

To get started with the Wix Editor, select Choose a Template.
To find designs that match your site, you can filter the templates by category, and you can
also View each template in demo mode. Once you have found a template that fits with your
project, select Edit.
4. Customize your website with the Wix Editor
102
Once you select a template, you’ll be able to customize it in the Wix Editor using simple drag-
and-drop editing.
To get started, click on an element on the page to alter its settings, resize or reposition it, change
colors, rewrite text, and much more. Any changes you make will appear in real-time, so you’ll
instantly know how your site will look to visitors.
For further customization, you’ll use the options in the menu on the left-hand side. Let’s go
through what you can do here
Menus and Pages
Under Menus and Pages, you will find your site’s pages. Here you can add new pages, as well
as rename, hide or delete pages, and change the order that they appear in the menu.
This is also where you can access your pages’ Setting options, which house a few key options:
● SEO – Add metadata to each page to help your content get found in the search engines.
● Social Share – Add the images and text that will be displayed when each page is shared
on social media.
103
● Permissions – Select who can view each page and create restricted content or members-
only pages.
Background
Wix allows you to change the background color or image or display a video background. Wix
has an extensive free media library to select from or you can upload your own media.
Elements
Under Add, you can add a wide assortment of elements to your website pages including:
● Galleries and images
● Interactive slideshows
● Videos and music
● Buttons
● Forms
Blog manager
104
If you want to add a blog to your website, select the Start Blogging icon. Then click on Add
Now to add the Wix Blogging Manager app to your website.
Under My Blog, click on Create New Post. Here you can add and publish new posts within the
Blog Manager.
105
You can also view and manage your posts by selecting My Blog > Manage Posts.
Top menu
There are a couple of other important Wix Editor features that you can find in the top menu bar.
These include…
● Page – Quickly toggle between the pages on your site and your blog.
● Desktop / Mobile – Switch between desktop and mobile mode to edit your site for both
device types.
● Settings – Access global settings for your website, add a favicon, view analytics, and
much more.
● Save / Preview / Publish – It is important to save your website as you go. You can also
then preview your site on the front end and publish it when you are ready.
5. Use Wix apps to add new functionality
106
The Wix App Marketplace offers a variety of free and premium apps that can add extra
functionality to your website. To access the marketplace, click on the Apps icon and then browse
the apps to find one that interests you.
Here are just a few of the most popular apps currently available.
● Online Store – Turn your website into an online store with this powerful eCommerce
app.
● Wix Events – Easily create and manage your events online.
● Instagram Feed – Showcase your Instagram images and videos.
To install a free app, open the app’s page and click Add to Site.
6. Publish your Wix website
To make your website publicly accessible, you need to publish it. To do so, click Publish from
the top menu. However, before Wix will publish your site, the last step in the process is to create
your own subdomain or connect your own domain name.
To use a custom domain, you will need to upgrade your Wix account to a premium plan. Once
you do that, you can publish your site and visitors will be able to access it at whatever domain
name you selected.
Congratulations! You just made your website!
107
Mini Task 3: Publish a website on Wix (Team Portfolio Website)
The group will create a website to host the materials they have created for their advocacy. This
website will be their team portfolio site which will be part of the Finals PT requirement. You can
use any of your preferred website building platform; Wix, Wordpress, Strikingly, or Weebly, just
to name a few. Use templates and designs which fit the project and showcase what you have
created to promote this advocacy.
Your website should at least have the following pages:

● A Home page which acts as the landing page/starting page and catches the attention of
the visitor, introducing them to your website and what it is all about.
● A Portfolio page where you showcase all your outputs related to the topic. You can
categorize them in additional pages, or put them in a gallery-type, it is up to the group
how to find the most effective design for the page.
● An About Us page where you introduce the members of the group and their contributions
to the project
● A Contact Us page that contains links to other related sites such as social media sites if
any.
NOTE: For this mini-task, it is okay to not have all the outputs uploaded in the Portfolio page.
That can be reserved for the Finals PT.

LESSON 6: Online Presence and Web Statistics
Do you remember the first time you were introduced to the internet? When people started seeing
who you are online? For most of you, it likely involved either Youtube or Facebook or other
videos of you made public and shared online. These days almost everyone who has an internet
connection is trying to get attention or “views'' either for online reputation and even financial
opportunities.

Do you have an online or internet presence?
Presence is the unavoidable consequence of living in this increasingly connected world of
computing devices. Over the internet, you can either have online or internet/web presence.
Internet or Web Presence

A web presence is a location on the World Wide Web where a person, business, or some other
entity is represented (see also web property and point of presence).
Examples of a web presence for a person could be a personal website, a blog, a profile page, a
wiki page, or a social media point of presence (e.g. a LinkedIn profile, a Facebook account, or a
Twitter account). Examples of a web presence for a business or some other entity could be a
corporate website, a microsite, a page on a review site, a wiki page, or a social media point of
presence (e.g., a LinkedIn company page and/or group, a Facebook business/brand/product page,
or a Twitter account).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_presence
Online Presence Management

Due to the ever-evolving nature of the internet, having a website or social media page is not
enough to build your web presence and brand identity. Individuals and organizations use a
combination of tools such as Google Maps, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, LinkedIn, as
well as new and upcoming platforms to cultivate their brand presence especially on mobile users
and other platforms.

Your Web of Influence
Having considerable web presence serves to boost a person’s influence over their audience who
follows their activities and posts online. Having an ounce of influence online means that people
believe in you, even if these people are only within your circle of friends or are members of your
family. A kernel of influence can become the seed that can grow into your own personal web of
influence online that would be like a tree with branches that reach out to all corners of the
internet.
Web Analytics
Web analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of web data for purposes of
understanding and optimizing web usage. However, Web analytics is not just a process for
measuring web traffic but can be used as a tool for business and market research, and to assess
and improve the effectiveness of a website. Web analytics provides information about the
number of visitors to a website and the number of page views. It helps gauge traffic and
popularity trends which is useful for market research.

Web Analytics Tools

Here are some of the most popular analytics tools you can use
113
Web Analytics Data That Matter
There are plenty of data that can be made available when it comes to Internet Analytics, but the
following might be the most important for you in relation to improving your web presence.
User – means the number of unique visitors to your site. Essentially, these are the actual people
landing on your website, which means that if someone were to visit your site 100 times on the
same device or browser, they would still only count as one user
Session - defined as the total number of visits to your site — including both new and repeat
visits. So that same person who visited your site 100 times on the same device is counted as one
user, but 100 sessions.
Page Visits – this is how many times a specific visitor loads a page on your site. If this is high,
then that visitor has a specific interest in what your site has to offer.
Page Views – the number of times a website has been loaded in a browser in a period.
Bounce Rate – the percentage of visitors to a particular website who navigate away from the site
after viewing only one page.
Time on Page (ToP) - Average time on page is simply the average amount of time all users
spend on a single page.
View/Visit Ratio (VVR) – the number of page views divided by the number of visits to a
website. This gives the average time of a visit in terms of content consumption.
Social Media Analytics

Since social media is a big part of building an online presence and influence, social media
platforms have built in analytics tools to help users identify and collect crucial information for
business decisions. vHere are some examples
Facebook Insights
Twitter Analytics
