Introductory Message
Welcome to TVL 11 – ICT (Computer System Servicing)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Antique and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through
the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to
guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TVL 11 – ICT (Computer System Servicing) Activity Sheet will help you
facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning
Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the
independent learning.

For the learner:

The TVL 11 – ICT (Computer System Servicing) Activity Sheet is developed

to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material
provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being
an active learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the
activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the
agreed schedule

II. Background Information for Learners

5S

The 5S Assessment tool is a lean process for continuous business improvement

in the workplace. It improves efficiency by removing the ‘waste of waiting’ looking for
materials, information, or tools. “5S not only eliminates delays in production but also,
boosts self-confidence and safety, resulting in an improved work environment.”– Nitesh
Sahni, Quality Control Manager.What 5S stands for? The tool gets its name from 5
Japanese words starting with the letter “S”, Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and
Sustain.

5S (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain) is a method used by

quality professionals to organize their workplace, predominantly in the mechanical
industry. 5S method stresses on a simple concept - A place for everything, and
everything in its place. Can't this be implemented in the IT industry to organize the
computer system's files and folders? I believe that we can.

Let us see how 5S can improve storage and retrieval of data in a computer:

Seiri or Sort: Only store important files in your computer. Create folders and sub-
folders to organize important data. Name folders and files appropriately for easy
retrieval. Create one folder named, say, "Trash" to store temporary data. Clear the
contents of "Trash" folder regularly, if possible, on a daily basis.

Seiton or Set in Order: Ensure easy retrieval of data. Create only 2 main folders - one
for storing data for frequent use and the other for rare use. Create multiple sub-folders
to store a particular type of data. Limit sub-folders at the next 3 sub-levels to less than
5.

Seiso or Shine: Clean-up unnecessary data in regular intervals. Once in every 2

weeks, scan through the folders and sub-folders to clean-up unnecessary or unused
files and folders.

4
Seiketsu or Standardize: Integrate storage, retrieval and clean up tasks to create a
unified process. Create a habit to 100% follow the above 3Ss. Create a version
controlled process document that details naming, structuring and maintenance
schedule of files and folders which can serve as a reference document. Share this
document with peers.

Shitsuke or Sustain: Track and monitor to adherence to the above 4Ss by self and
peers. Conduct monthly audits (self and for peers) to ensure that the set procedures
are followed diligently. Document and publish the hard disk space usage data on a
weekly basis. 5S can serve a handy tool for efficient data management of files and
folders created and stored by user(s). With the use of computer's "Data Cleanup" and
"De-fragmentation" tools, system and other unnecessary temporary files and folders
can be cleaned-up.

This lesson focused on applying 5S to a simple files and folders system in a

computer. World is moving towards cloud based systems. Local storage will disappear
in future days. With all sorts of new changes, files and folders system management will
become more complicated in future. Quality methods like 5S will prove to be useful to
manage tomorrow's data spaces.

3Rs Reduce/Reuse/Recycling

In our quest to improve our lives through technology we are creating electronic
waste at an unprecedented rate. In response, researchers have seen more attention
focused on methods to reduce, reuse and recycle electronic waste.

Reduce
In the pursuit for faster computers, more features on smart phones and better
picture quality, people are constantly replacing electronics with newer and better
performing models. But what if there was a way to get that improved performance,
more features and better picture without increasing the amount of stuff we buy? Well,
there already is a movement afoot to reduce the amount of computer hardware that
needs to be purchased in order to stay on top of the tech race. The term is “cloud
computing” and although it may sound like a weather forecasting computer it is actually
a concept of sharing resources such as computer memory, processing power, and
software over a network. For example you may need a fast computer to run software
that you don’t currently own and perhaps will only need for a set amount of time.

Reuse
We know it’s easy to recycle cans and bottles but who wants your old computer
that is far from high tech? The truth is that lots of people might want it including
schools, low-income earners, and even those pesky computer geeks. While it may not
suit your needs anymore there is such a wide spectrum of computer uses out there that
your old clunker may be just the thing that people could use to practice his typing or
learn basic programming. Whatever the use, if you can find people, your computer will
extend its useful life before it meets a shredder in the next phase, which is recycling.

Recycling
Recycling is the process where used materials are turned into new products (not
necessarily the same original ones) so as to minimise environmental impacts such as
underground leaching, emission of greenhouse gas through burning and to promote
resource conservation. Recycling is a very natural way to reduce environmental

5
 pollution and as more people acknowledge the need to preserve the environment
nowadays, the need to recycle becomes more of a good alternative. A number of
interesting materials can be made from recycling whether it is done at home or
elsewhere; for instance, used paper can be recycled to make gift wraps, cards, note
books etc which is very educational for young ones thus making them more
environmental conscious.

Security
To protect your privacy, it is recommended that people remove all data from a
computer hard drive before donating, selling or recycling a computer or other
information storing device. Your computer is filled with personal and financial
information and this data should be properly removed in order to protect you from
identity theft. It is necessary to wipe any media clean before disposing of it. This
includes the hard drive in computers as well as floppies, zip disks, tapes and CD's.
There are a number of ways to remove data from your hard drive. The first is the
physical destruction of a hard drive, which removes all data but also removes all reuse
value. The second method is known as degaussing or the use of a magnetic device to
remove data. Verifying data destruction with this method is often very difficult, but can
still be effective. The final method is overwriting data.
