TITLE Planning and preparing for task to be undertaken

OBJECTIVES In this lesson, the learner should be able to identify the basic parts of a
INTRODUCTION computer and its functions.
Topic 1
Lesson 1 Introduction to Computer
Characteristics

A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control of instructions stored in its own
memory that can accept data (input), process the data according to specified rules, produce

information (output), and store the information for future use.

Characteristics of Computer
• SPEED: In general, no human being can compete to solving the complex computation

faster than a computer

• ACCURACY: Since computer is programmed, so whatever input that a user gives, the

computer gives accurate results

• STORAGE: A computer can store massive amounts of data.
• DILIGENCE: A computer can work for hours without any break

• VERSATILITY: A computer can be used to perform different types of work

• RESOURCEFULNESS: A computer can retrieve data.

Lesson 2 Classification

Computers can be generally classified by size and power.

2.1 Personal Computer (PC)

A PC can be defined as a small, relatively inexpensive computer designed for an individual user.
PCs are based on the microprocessor technology that enables manufacturers to put an entire

CPU on one chip. Businesses use personal computers for word processing, accounting, desktop

publishing, and for running spreadsheet and database management applications. At home, the
most popular use for personal computers is playing games and surfing the Internet.
2.2 Workstation

The workstation is a computer used for engineering applications (CAD/CAM), desktop

publishing, software development, and other such types of applications which require a moderate
amount of computing power and relatively high-quality graphics capabilities. A workstation is like a
personal computer, but it has a more powerful microprocessor and a higher quality monitor.
2.3 Minicomputer

A multi-user computer capable of supporting from 10 to hundreds of users simultaneously.

2.4 Mainframe

The mainframe is very large in size and is an expensive computer capable of supporting
hundreds or even thousands of users simultaneously. Mainframe executes many programs
concurrently and supports much simultaneous execution of programs.
2.5 Super Computer
Supercomputers are one of the fastest computers currently available. Supercomputers are very
expensive and are employed for specialized applications that require an immense amount of
mathematical calculations (number-crunching).
For example, weather forecasting, scientific simulations, (animated)graphics, fluid dynamic
calculations, nuclear energy research, electronic design, and analysis of geological data (e.g. in
petrochemical prospecting).

Topic 2 Elements of a Computer

Lesson 1 Hardware

Every computer is composed of two basic elements: hardware and software.

Computer hardware is the collection of physical elements that constitutes a computer system.

Computer hardware refers to the physical parts or components of a computer such as the monitor,
mouse, keyboard, computer data storage, hard drive disk (HDD), system unit (graphic cards,
sound cards, memory, motherboard and chips), etc. all of which are physical objects that can be
touched.
2.1 Parts of a Basic Computer
Computers may look very different, but the components installed are standard. The major
difference among most machines is the brand of the hardware installed. The hardware
components are the same for all computer systems.

Mother Board
The motherboard is one of the most essential parts of a computer system. It holds together many

of the crucial components of a computer, including the central processing unit (CPU), memory and
connectors for input and output devices.

Power Supply
The power supply powers all other components of the machine. It usually plugs into the
motherboard to power the other parts. The power supply connects to either an internal battery (on
a laptop) or a plug for an outlet (on a desktop).

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

A CPU, sometimes referred to as a computer's brain, is the workhorse of the machine. It performs
the calculations needed by a system, and can vary in speed. The work that a CPU does generates

heat, which is why your computer has a fan inside. A more powerful CPU is necessary for intense
computer work like editing high-definition video or programming complex software.

Random Access Memory (RAM)

RAM is the computer’s short-term memory. It temporarily stores (remembers) everything that runs
on your PC, like all the services in Windows, your web browser, your image editing tool, or the
game you’re playing.

Hard Disk Drive/ Solid State Device

Since RAM is temporary, your computer needs a place to store data permanently. That's where
the hard drive comes in. The traditional hard drive consists of several spinning platters with an
arm that physically writes data to the disk. However, these drives are slow and are starting to be
replaced by the faster solid-state drives.
A solid-state drive (SSD) is a solid state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to
store data persistently, typically using flash memory, and functioning as secondary storage in the
hierarchy of computer storage. It is faster to hard disk drives and more resistant to physical shock.

A video card is a dedicated unit for handling the output of images to a display. Video cards have

their own dedicated RAM for performing these functions. A high-end video card is required to
process extremely intense visual functions, such as computer drafting by engineers.

Optical Disc Drive

It is a disk drive that uses laser light or electromagnetic waves within or near the visible light
spectrum as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical discs.
Input and Output Devices
Depending on your particular computer, you can connect a variety of devices to send information
into it or out of it. Common input devices include mice (touchpads on laptops), keyboards, and

webcams, while output devices consist of monitors, printers, and speakers. Removable media
such as flash drives and SD cards can also be used to transfer data between computers.

Lesson 2 Software

Software is a generic term for organized collections of computer data and instructions, often
broken into two major categories: system software that provides the basic non task-specific
functions of the computer, and application software which is used by users to accomplish specific
tasks.
2.1 Types of Software

System software helps run the computer hardware and computer system itself. System software
includes operating systems, device drivers, diagnostic tools and more. System software is almost
always pre-installed on your computer.

Application software
Allows users to accomplish one or more tasks. It includes word processing, web browsing and
almost any other task for which you might install software.

OBJECTIVES
In this lesson you will learn the ergonomic hazard in using a computer,
INTRODUCTION and safety, and identify the different storage device that can be used to
store files
4.1
Computer Ergonomic Hazard

Nowadays people spend so many hours in front of a computer without

thinking about the impact on their bodies. People felt physical stress on
their bodies daily without thinking and realizing it repeatedly, doing it like
sitting without foot support, extending their wrists, slouching and looking
at the monitor more often without any protection in their eyes. .
These practices can lead to cumulative trauma disorders or repetitive
stress injuries, which create a life-long impact on health. Symptoms may
include pain, muscle fatigue, loss of sensation, tingling and reduced
performance.

Computer ergonomics addresses ways to optimize your computer

workstation to reduce the specific risks of computer vision syndrome
(CVS), neck and back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and other disorders
affecting the muscles, spine and joints.

TOPIC 5 Storage Devices

INTRODUCTION

A computer storage device is any computing hardware that is used for

storing, porting and extracting data files and objects.
It can hold and store virtually all the data, information and applications

on the computer, except the hardware firmware both temporarily and

permanently, and can be internal or external to a computer
They are available in different form factors depending on the type of
underlying device.
5.1 Primary Storage Devices
Known as main memory. Generally smaller in size, these are designed to hold data
temporarily and are internal to the computer. They have the fastest data access speed. Example:
• RAM (Random Access Memory)
Any of the data in RAM can be accessed just as fast as any of the other data. There are
two types of RAM:
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory)

Slower, Less expensive, Less power consumption and needs to be refreshed thousands of
times per second
SRAM (Static Random Access Memory)

Faster, More expensive, More power consumption, does not need to be refreshed
• ROM (Read-Only Memory)

This memory is used as the computer begins to boot up. To computer memory chips
containing permanent or semi-permanent data. Small programs called firmware are often
stored in ROM chips on hardware devices (like a BIOS chip). ROM memory cannot be

easily or quickly overwritten or modified.

• Cache
High-speed access area that can be either a reserved section of main memory or a storage
device

5.2 Secondary Storage Devices

•
Hard Disk
Largest, data storage device in a computer. An electro-mechanical data storage device that
uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital data using one or more rigid rapidly
rotating platters coated with magnetic material.

Internal Hard Disk External Hard Disk

• Floppy Disk
Also called diskette, a soft magnetic disk and also portable and can only store a small
amount of data
• Optical DIsc
Form of a removable storage, it is any storage media that holds content in digital format
and is read using a laser assembly is considered optical media

Categories of Optical Discs

▪ CD (Compact Disc) - use to store photos, audio and computer software
Types of CDs
▪ CD-ROM

Lesson 1
The computer is a very versatile machine. It can easily process
different types of data. To work with these data, we require
different types of devices. These devices can help us enter data
into the computer. These devices are called INPUT and OUTPUT
devices. They mainly cover devices like mouse, keyboard,
printer, speaker, joystick, etc which can be used with a computer.

Input and Output Devices

Input Devices

An input device is essentially a piece of hardware that sends data to a computer. Most input devices
either
interact with or control the computer in some way. Various types of input devices can be used with the
computer depending upon the type of data you want to enter in the computer.

8.1 Keyboard

It is the most commonly used input device. It is used to enter data and instructions directly into the
computer. There are 104 buttons on the keyboard which are called keys.
8.2 Mouse

A mouse is a small handheld input device which controls a cursor in a graphical user interface. It
can move and select text, files, folders etc. on our computer according to the user input.When the
mouse is moved on the mouse pad, a light beam underneath reflects to give motion to the pointer
on the screen.
8.3 Scanner

A scanner is an input device that uses optical technology to transfer images (or sometimes text)
into a computer, where the signal is converted into a digital image. The digital image can then be
viewed on a monitor screen, saved, edited, emailed, or printed.
8.4 Touch Screen

Touch screen is a special computer screen that takes the input by sensing the touch of a human
finger, gloved hand, stylus, pen or any other pointing device. The user gives instructions to the
computer just by touching the screen.
8.5 Microphone

A microphone captures audio and sends it to a computer where it is converted to a digital format.
Once the audio has been digitized, it can be played back, copied, edited, uploaded, or emailed.
Microphones can also be used to record audio or to relay sounds live as part of a video chat or
audio stream.
8.6 Webcam

A webcam is an input device that acts like a video camera that feeds or streams an image or
video in real time or through a computer to a computer network such as the internet.

Lesson 2 Output Devices

An output device is a piece of computer hardware that receives data from a computer and then
translates that data into another form. That form may be audio, visual, textual, or hard copy such
as a printed document.
9.1 Monitor

A monitor consists of a screen, circuitry, a power supply, buttons to adjust screen settings, and a
casing that contains all of these components. A monitor displays data from a computer onto a
screen so the user can interact with the data via a digital interface
9.2 Printer

The function of a printer is to create a copy of whatever is sent from the computer to the printer.
Printers take electronic data sent from a computer and generate a hard copy.
9.3 Headphones

Headphones output audio from a computer through two individual headphones for a single
listener. Also known as earphones, headphones allow you to listen to audio without disrupting
other people in the vicinity.
9.4 Computer Speakers

Computer speakers are hardware devices that transform the signal from the computer's sound
card into audio. Speakers create sound using internal amplifiers that vibrate at different
frequencies according to data from the computer. This produces sound.

TOPIC 10 Productivity Software

Lesson 1 Word Processing

A word processor is software or a device that allows users to create, edit, and print documents. It
enables you to write text, store it electronically, display it on a screen, modify it by entering
commands and characters from the keyboard, and print it.

10.1 Parts of a Word Processing Window

Title Bar displays the name of the currently active word processing document

Ruler Bar allows the user to format the vertical and horizontal alignment of text in a
Toolbars document

toolbars help you perform task faster and with great ease

Status Bar displays information about the current active document

Scroll Bar allows scrolling the content or body of document

Workspace area in the document window where text can be entered

Menu Bar contains menus doing separate tasks.

Lesson 2 Spreadsheets
A spreadsheet or worksheet is a file made of rows and columns that help sort data, arrange data
easily, and calculate numerical data. What makes a spreadsheet software program unique is its
ability to calculate values using mathematical formulas and the data in cells
