ICT

 "Technology is best when it brings people together."

We had learned about on topic Online Identity:

Online identity refers to how a person or organization is represented or presents themselves on the internet. 

It includes any data, profile, or behavior that can be traced back to that individual or group.

Key Components of Online Identity

1. Usernames and Profiles

2. Digital Footprint

3. Authentication Details

4. Social Presence

Topic: Understanding and Managing Your Digital Footprint:

A digital footprint is the trail of data you leave behind when you use the internet. It includes everything from social media activity, search history, emails, online purchases, and even metadata like IP addresses.

What are the elements of a digital footprint?

-The digital footprints are formed through social media posts, online searches, online

purchases, Website visits, Email communications, online accounts, online content

creation, online profiles, online comments, and interactions.

Some of the strategies for managing and protecting digital footprints are:

 Being consistent and professional in what you say online.

 Being aware of what other people are saying about you online.

 Being accurate with the grammar and spellings with what we post online.

 Have up-to-date information and closing down accounts you don’t need.

 Thinking before sharing.

 Using strong and unique passwords.

                                   Coding

Coding is the process of writing instructions in a programming language that a computer can understand and execute. These instructions tell the computer what to do—like performing calculations, displaying information, or running applications.

Think of coding as writing a recipe for the computer to follow step-by-step.

For example, if you want to create a website, write a game, or build an app, you use coding to make it happen.

Common programming languages for coding include:

• Python

• JavaScript

• Java

• C++

• Ruby

                FLOWCHART

A flowchart is a diagram that represents a process, system, or algorithm using symbols, shapes, and arrows. It is used in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to show step-by-step instructions visually. Flowcharts help in understanding, analyzing, and designing processes clearly.

Key Symbols in a Flowchart

Symbol	Meaning
Oval / Ellipse	Start or End of a process
Rectangle	Process / Action step
Diamond	Decision (Yes/No or True/False)
Parallelogram	Input / Output
Arrow	Shows the flow or direction of the process

Uses of Flowchart

1. To represent algorithms in programming.

2. To make complex processes easier to understand.

3. To plan software or systems before implementation.

4. To identify errors or improve processes.

Example of a Simple Flowchart

Problem: Find the largest of two numbers.

1. Start (Oval)

2. Input numbers A and B (Parallelogram)

3. Is A > B? (Diamond)

   • Yes → Output A is largest (Parallelogram)

   • No → Output B is largest (Parallelogram)

4. End (Oval)

Flowcharts are widely used in ICT because they simplify logic, save time, and make it easier for beginners to understand algorithms.
