What learners will learn
The module covers one learning competency:
- Create a reflexive piece or output using an ICT tool, platform, or application of choice on the learning experience undergone during the semester (CS_ICT11/12-ICTPT-Ie-f-6).
After the module, learners are expected to:

- Assess their progress based on the level of ICT skills they have learned in using different ICT platforms.
- Create a reflexive piece on how ICT empowers a person to make a significant contribution to society, using any ICT platform.
Lessons in this module
The module has one lesson, Lesson 1: ICT, the Self, and Society. It explains how ICT saves time and effort, especially in a crisis like a pandemic. It also explains why people are upgrading their ICT skills so they are not left behind. The lesson then looks at both the benefits and the challenges of ICT in three sectors.
Impact of ICT on the self and society
The module explains that ICT improves services and lifestyles and supports economic growth. It also has disadvantages. It compares the potentials and challenges of ICT in three sectors.
| Sector | Potentials of ICT | Challenges |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | Information is shared and accessed easily through chat, text messages, e-mail, advertisements, posters, websites, and other forms, with or without internet | Some people and communities cannot access it because of socioeconomic status, government rules, cultural norms, or location |
| Education | Learning management systems such as Google Classroom, online presentations, collaborative tools, social media, websites, online journals, and e-portfolios | Teachers and learners must shift to online delivery and learn new platforms; social interaction differs from face-to-face classes |
| E-commerce | Goods, products, and services are bought and sold online; ads can be posted quickly, with social media the most in-demand option | Risks to product guarantees and data security; fraud such as identity theft and hacking |
Key terms from the lesson and its tests:
- Digital divide: the gap that keeps people from accessing information because technology is not available to them.
- E-commerce: online buying and selling of goods or services. The module calls business “the blood of the economy.”
- Fraudulent activity: an unlawful act of deceiving a person to take advantage of them or for financial gain.
- Digital literate: having the ability and skills to understand, create, and evaluate ICT processes.
For education, the module quotes then DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones: “Education must continue.” For e-commerce, it advises consumers to be careful with unauthorized online sellers and to use trusted, secure websites.
Writing a reflection piece using Blogger
The module shows one way to publish a reflection: a blog on Blogger. The steps are:
- Sign in to www.blogger.com with a Gmail account and click Create your Blog.
- Enter a title for the blog and click Next.
- Type the blog’s URL (address) and click Next.
- Type a display name and click Finish.
- Click New Post on the upper left pane.
- Type the post title and content, and format it the way you would in a word processor. Adjust the settings on the right pane, preview the post, and click Publish.

- What I Have Learned: guide questions on how technology changes lives and communities and how the learner can contribute to society through ICT.
- What I Can Do: the main output, a reflexive piece on how ICT empowers the learner in their area of specialization. It can be a video blog, presentation or image gallery, website, illustrated document, or podcast or webcast. It is scored out of 15 points on creativity, content of reflection, and language.
- Assessment: a 15-item multiple-choice post-test.
- Additional Activities: share the reflection on social media after the teacher has checked it.
How to use this module
Learners: Start with the pretest, then work through the parts in order. Write all answers on a separate sheet of paper and do not mark the module. When you finish your reflexive piece, send your teacher the link or submit it through the collaboration tool your teacher has chosen. Answer keys for the pretest and post-test are at the end. Use them honestly, only to check your work.
Parents: You do not need to be an ICT expert to help. Make sure your child can use a device and an internet connection for the final output, and encourage them to answer the guide questions thoughtfully.
Teachers: Use the 15-point rubric to grade the reflexive pieces and agree with learners in advance on how outputs will be submitted. Review the printed answer key before using it. A few answers do not match the lesson. For example, item 3 of the pretest and items 3 and 4 of the post-test.

What is It
Impact of ICT, the Self, and Society
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has an immense impact on humanity. It covers all developing sectors to improve their service, lifestyle, and as the basis of economic growth. However, these impacts may seem to have both advantages and disadvantages despite its progress.
How can the process of ICT change your view in the sectors below?
| Sector | Potentials of ICT | Challenges |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Communication It is the most crucial part of the role of ICT in the delivery of accurate instructions in many forms. | • Information can be distributed and accessed easily through various modes like: • chat • text message • advertisement • poster • website • and many other forms with or without an internet connection. | • The benefit of ICT when it comes to distant communication may not be accessible to some people, organization, or community due to several factors like socioeconomic status, government rules, cultural norms, or place restrictions. • Digital Divide is a term used that hinders them from gaining access to the information due to the unavailability of technology. |
| 2. Education It is not only a trend but a call to take advantage of the ICT platform in distant education, as Sec. Leonor Magtolis Briones said that “Education must continue” despite the crisis the Philippine is experiencing. Our department and government are doing their best to support distance learning. | • These platforms may include but not limited to: • use of Learning Management System (LMS) such as Google classroom • create or send online presentations, collaborative tools, • use of social media, • create website, or • publish journals online • use of e-portfolio | • Teachers and students may need to shift or transfer their traditional way of learning to the online delivery platform to continue education. • This can also be a challenge for teachers and learners who may need to equip and be knowledgeable in manipulating the said platforms to achieve its goal. • |
[transcriber’s note: table continued from the previous page]
| Sector | Potentials of ICT | Challenges |
|---|---|---|
| Education | • Students will have more opportunities to access information through the world wide web than those who are in modular instruction. | • Social interaction is different than in a face-to-face delivery mode. |
| 3. E-Commerce It is said that business is the blood of the economy. ICT plays a vital role when it comes to e-commerce, where most of the jobs operate using different technologies. | • E-commerce has immensely evolved where the approaches in buying and selling goods, products, and even services are now available online. E-commerce has become popular since there are different platforms available and accessible for most online users and markets. • Online advertisements can be created and posted quickly by linking to other websites. One of the in-demand postings of ads is the use of social media. | There are disadvantages of e-commerce when it comes to consumer’s product guarantee and online data security. • Consumers must be cautious in making transactions with unauthorized seller online. Fraudulent activities like identity theft and hacking may be at risk. Hence it is suggested to be vigilant in every transactions made online by visiting trusted and a secured website. |
