6 Crk Educatin and Training Bard Applicatin Sftware: Designed t help the user perfrm specific tasks. Des the sftware include Micrsft Office? These packages allw yu t have a wrd prcessr and a spread-sheet. Fr the mst users this shuld be an imprtant cnsideratin. Explain why applicatin sftware is s imprtant. RAM cmputer memry Randm Access Memry Explain why RAM is s imprtant and hw it wrks. Byte Abbreviatin fr Binary term. A unit f strage capable f hlding a single character. Strage Devices- are the data strage devices that are used in the cmputers t stre the data. The cmputer has many types f data strage devices. Sme f them can be classified as the remvable data Strage Devices and the thers as the nn-remvable data Strage Devices. Give examples f such devices. Input & Output Devices The cmputer is prgrammed t wrk n infrmatin (data) that is entered by the user. Varius devices enable the learner t enter data and ther devices allw the user t receive r view data. Explain peripherals. Input devices: Allws the user t input infrmatin t the cmputer such as: Muse small hand held device Keybard Qwerty layut numeric pad n PCs List and explain thers t include, Jystick, Webcam, Digital camera, scanner etc. Output devices: The cmputer can utput infrmatin in varius ways Mnitr r Screen As the user inputs the infrmatin it is visible n the mnitr Printer Allws dcuments prduced n the cmputer t be printed n paper ften referred t as hardcpy r printuts List and explain thers t include, Pltter, Speakers, Sund cards, Vide cards, etc. Fr example: Facilitate the learner t understand the fllwing terms in relatin t Infrmatin Technlgy: LAN & WAN Facilitate the learner t understand the difference between. Give examples: Training rms use LAN Banks may use WAN Infrmatin Technlgy Skills 4N115 February 013 6

7 Crk Educatin and Training Bard Internet The Internet is a wrldwide netwrk f cmputers and cmputer netwrks that are linked by telecmmunicatins netwrks. Explain hw a user cnnects t the internet, what equipment is need, explain the difference between, dial-up, bradband and Wi-Fi cnnectins: Intrduce the learner t the vast amunt f infrmatin that is available n the internet and hw it expands the wrld arund us, explre , scial netwrking and ther areas where peple can keep in tuch frm the cmfrt f their wn hmes. Files A file n yur cmputer is an rganised cllectin f infrmatin. The wrd file is als used t describe infrmatin that is stred, used r accessed by smene using a cmputer. Cmputer files can be cnsidered as the mdern cunterpart f the paper file. The instructins the cmputer needs in rder t perate are als called files. Flders A flder n the cmputer is an electrnic cntainer which may cntain files. Flders n yur cmputer are used t stre files in an rganised way. Cnsider the ld fashined filing cabinet. Nrmally this wuld be rganised with flders named and rganised, perhaps in alphabetical rder, with the paper files stred inside, s that files can lcated again easily. Think f yur cmputer in the same way. Each cmputer has a large flder called Dcuments. Think f this flder as the filing cabinet- inside it cntains the sub-flders named and rganised fr easy access and the files placed in these flders are the dcuments yu create within the applicatin. Directry/Directries-Flders n a cmputer s hard disk are als referred t as directries. Flders can be stred and rganised n the cmputer s hard disk int different levels smewhat like the levels f a family tree. Explain rt directry and all the ther levels. Explre with the learner the directry path, fr example describing and shwing them the lcatin f a file r flder using the address bar accessed thrugh Cmputer. And each level as they access it.

Explre with the learner hw technlgy has tuched all ur lives: Infrmatin Technlgy Skills 4N115 February 013 7

8 Crk Educatin and Training Bard Fr example: In ur persnal lives peple can use the internet t buy gds and services n line withut leaving their living rm. Ecmmerce, select examples f such sites and explre with the learner. Peple can als pay bills, use Internet Banking frm their hmes. Create accunts with lcal supermarkets, d their shpping nline, delivered t their hme. Stay in tuch with family and friends all ver the wrld fr a lt less cst by using the Internet e.g. and scial netwrk sites such as Facebk Students at all levels can benefit frm the advantages f technlgy Elearning Internet and ther cmmunicatin tls allw us t live and wrk anywhere we like. It gives us the pprtunity t learn instantly abut new jbs, training, vlunteer pprtunities and what s happening in yur field. Cmpanies can cnnect with emplyees, suppliers and partners arund the wrld. It allws cmpanies t emply knwledgeable wrkers regardless f where they are in the wrld Small cmpanies can cnnect with custmers anywhere. Mdern cmputers allw us rganise ur hme accunts and business accunts with ease, filing and strage is far easier in this age f technlgy Explain hw the internet has becme vital t ur lifestyle and t g thrugh life withut it will becme very difficult especially since we use it every day.
