( Executable), Web 2.0 (writable)
and Web 1.0 is the most read only web(
readable).
 Web1.0
 It is the “readable” phrase of the World Wide Web
with flat data. In Web 1.0, there is only limited
interaction between sites and web users. Web 1.0 is
simply an information portal where users passively
receive information without being given the
opportunity to post reviews, comments, and
feedback.
 Web2.0
 It is the “writable” phrase of the World Wide Web
with interactive data. Unlike Web 1.0, Web 2.0
facilitates interaction between web users and sites,
so it allows users to interact more freely with each
other. Web 2.0 encourages participation,
collaboration, and information sharing. Examples
of Web 2.0 applications are Youtube, Wiki, Flickr,
Facebook, and so on.
 Web3.0
 It is the “executable” phrase of Word Wide Web with
dynamic applications, interactive services, and
“machine-to-machine” interaction. Web 3.0 is a semantic
web which refers to the future. In Web 3.0, computers can
interpret information like humans and intelligently
generate and distribute useful content tailored to the
needs of users. One example of Web 3.0 is Tivo, a digital
video recorder. Its recording program can search the web
and read what it finds to you based on your preferences.

ONLINE GAMES, TEST AND COURSEWARES

1. ONLINE GAMES – AN ONLINE GAME IS A VIDEO GAME

THAT IS EITHER PARTIALLY OR PRIMARILY PLAYED
THROUGH THE INTERNET OR ANOTHER COMPUTER
NETWORK.
EXAMPLES:
DOTA 2
MOBILE LEGENDS
2. ONLINE TEST – ELECTRONIC ASSESSMENT ALSO KNOWN AS E-
ASSESSMENT OR ONLINE TEST IS THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
IN VARIOUS FORMS OF ASSESSMENT SUCH AS EDUCATIONAL
ASSESSMENT , HEALTH ASSESSMENT, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT.
THIS MAY UTILIZE AN ONLINE COMPUTER CONNECTED TO A NETWORK.

3. ONLINE COURSEWARE – IS EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL INTENDED AS

KITS FOR TEACHERS OR TRAINERS OR AS TUTORIAL FOR STUDENTS
USUALLY PACKAGED FOR USE WITH A COMPUTER. IT INCLUDES THE
FOLLOWING:
MATERIAL FOR INSTRUCTOR-LED CLASSES
WEBSITES THAT OFFER INTERACTIVE TUTORIALS
MATERIAL THAT IS COORDINATED WITH DISTANCE LEARNING
SUCH AS LIVE CLASSES CONDUCTED OVER THE INTERNET
VIDEOS FOR USE INDIVIDUALLY OR AS PART OF CLASSES.
WEBCAST IS A MEDIA FILE DISTRIBUTED OVER THE INTERNET USING
STREAMING MEDIA TECHNOLOGY. A WEBCAST MAY EITHER BE
DISTRIBUTED LIVE OR ON DEMAND. ESSENTIALLY, WEBCASTING IS
“BROADCASTING” OVER THE INTERNET”
A WEBCAST USES STREAMING MEDIA TECHNOLOGY TO TAKE A SINGLE
CONTENT SOURCE AND DISTRIBUTE IT TO MANY SIMULTANEOUS
LISTENERS/VIEWERS.
ACCORDING TO PCMAG WEBCAST MEANS TO:

1. TO SEND LIVE AUDIO OR VIDEO PROGRAMMING OVER THE WEB. IT IS THE

INTERNET COUNTERPART TO TRADITIONAL RADIO AND TV BROADCASTING.
2. TO SEND SELECTED WEB-BASED INFORMATION (TEXT, GRAPHICS, AUDIO,
VIDEO, ETC.) TO INTERNET USERS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS.
A CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK (CDN) REFERS TO A
GEOGRAPHICALLY DISTRIBUTED GROUP OF SERVERS WHICH WORK
TOGETHER TO PROVIDE FAST DELIVERY OF INTERNET CONTENT.
A CDN ALLOWS FOR THE QUICK TRANSFER OF ASSETS NEEDED FOR
LOADING INTERNET CONTENT INCLUDING HTML PAGES, JAVASCRIPT
FILES, STYLESHEETS, IMAGES, AND VIDEOS. THE POPULARITY OF CDN
SERVICES CONTINUES TO GROW, AND TODAY THE MAJORITY OF WEB
TRAFFIC IS SERVED THROUGH CDNS, INCLUDING TRAFFIC FROM MAJOR
SITES LIKE FACEBOOK, NETFLIX, AND AMAZON.
A PROPERLY CONFIGURED CDN MAY ALSO HELP PROTECT WEBSITES
AGAINST SOME COMMON MALICIOUS ATTACKS, SUCH AS
DISTRIBUTED DENIAL OF SERVICE (DDOS) ATTACKS.
GAMECAST IS A HOOK FOR SOME FUNCTIONALITY THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE
IN THE FUTURE. WHAT IT DOES IS SEND PLAY BY PLAY DATA TO OUR WEB SERVER.
THE INTENT IS THAT IF YOU ARE SCORING A GAME ON AN IPHONE (OR AN IPOD
TOUCH WITH WIFI CONNECTIVITY), YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEND THE PLAY BY PLAY
DATA TO THE SERVER IN REAL TIME, AND OTHER PEOPLE INTERESTED IN YOUR GAME
WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR DATA.

THERE ARE AT LEAST A COUPLE OF WAYS WE INTEND TO MAKE THIS DATA

AVAILABLE.

1..A WEB VIEW OF THE GAME MUCH LIKE YOU CAN SEE ON ESPN.COM OF MLB GAMES
WHERE AS THE GAME PROGRESSES, PEOPLE CAN “WATCH IT” ON THE INTERNET.
2.. ANOTHER USER WITH ISCORE CAN BE KEPT IN SYNC WHILE YOU ARE SCORING A
GAME.
ISCORE APPS
A PODCAST IS AN EPISODIC SERIES OF DIGITAL
AUDIO OR VIDEO FILES WHICH A USER CAN
DOWNLOAD AND LISTEN TO. IT IS OFTEN AVAILABLE
FOR SUBSCRIPTION, SUBSCRIPTION, SO THAT NEW
EPISODES ARE AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADED VIA
WEB SYNDICATION TO THE USER’S OWN LOCAL
COMPUTER, MOBILE APPLICATION, OR PORTABLE
MEDIA PLAYER. IT IS SOMETHING LIKE A TV PROGRAM
OR ELEMENT OF A PROGRAM. UNLIKE TV PROGRAMS
WHICH YOU HAVE TO WATCH WHEN SCHEDULED.
 Benefits of Vodcasting

DISTRIBUTED.

 NineElements of Digital
Citizenship

1. ACCESS

THIS IS PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST

FUNDAMENTAL BLOCKS TO BEING A DIGITAL
CITIZEN.

ALSO DEALS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE
DANGERS AND BENEFITS OF ONLINE BUYING, USING
CREDIT CARDS ONLINE, AND SO FORTH.
3. COMMUNICATION
THIS ELEMENT DEALS WITH UNDERSTANDING
THE VARIETY OF ONLINE COMMUNICATION
MEDIUMS SUCH AS EMAIL, INSTANT MESSAGING,
FB MESSENGER, THE VARIETY OF APPS, AND SO
FORTH. THERE IS A STANDARD OF ETIQUETTE
ASSOCIATED WITH EACH MEDIUM.
4. LITERACY

THIS DEALS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW

TO USE VARIOUS DIGITAL DEVICES. IT IS ABILITY AND
KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO LEARN AND TEACH USING
TECHNOLOGY TOOLS.
5.ETIQUETTE
THIS IS THE EXPECTATION THAT VARIOUS MEDIUMS
REQUIRE A VARIETY OF ETIQUETTE. CERTAIN MEDIUMS
DEMAND MORE APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR AND LANGUAGE
THAN OTHERS.
6. LAW

THIS IS WHERE ENFORCEMENT OCCURS FOR

ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS, PLAGIARIZING, HACKING,
CREATING VIRUSES, SENDING SPAMS, IDENTITY
THEFT, CYBERBULLYING AND SO FORTH.

RESPONSIBILITIES

THIS IS THE SET OF RIGHTS THAT DIGITAL

CITIZENS HAVE SUCH AS PRIVACY, SPEECH, AND SO
FORTH.
8. HEALTH
DIGITAL CITIZENS MUST BE AWARE OF THE
PHYSICAL STRESS PLACED ON THEIR BODIES
BY INTERNET USAGE. THEY MUST BE AWARE TO
NOT BECOME OVERLY DEPENDENT ON THE
INTERNET CAUSING EYE STRAIN, HEADACHES,
STRESS PROBLEMS AND SO ON.
9. SECURITY

THIS SIMPLY MEANS THAT CITIZENS MUST

TAKE MEASURES TO BE SAFE BY PRACTICING
USING DIFFICULT PASSWORDS, VIRUS
PROTECTION, BACKING UP DATA, AND SO FORTH.
