Lesson 1
Being Healthy and Safe When Using Computers
Uses of Computers
Computers can be used in a lot of ways. They are used in education, health
and medicine, recreation and entertainment, and government.
Computers are used in education to get information. Education has also
evolved into using the Internet for mobile learning.
Computers are also used in the field of medicine. Information now can be
digitized, and electronic devices to help patients have been developed.
People who are hard of hearing can now have hearing instruments that can
be adjusted to precise measurements using computers.
The field of recreation and entertainment has also been penetrated by
computers. Movies can be created with the help of software imaging.
The government also uses computer. Records are computerized for faster
transactions. Traffic control is also done using computers.

Lesson 2
Learning File Management
• While we work using some MS Office applications, we will be asked
what file name we wish to save our files as and where to save them.
• The Save As option in the File menu can help us assign a file name
for our work, and the Browse folder section can help us find a place
to save our file.
Good File Names versus Bad File Names

• Good File Names help us easily find the file we need. It should tell us
what the file is about even before we open the file.
• Bad File Names cause delay and confusion.
Good File Names Creation
• 1. File names must be specific.
• 2. Do not make the names too long.
• 3. Avoid using special characters like : ~!@#$%*()/:”<>
• 4. Do not use spaces. Use underscores, dashes, no spaces, or
Camel case instead.
• A. Underscores (e.g., file_name)
• B. Dashes (e.g., file-name)
• C. No spaces (e.g., filename)
• D. Camel case- The first letter of each word is capitalized, with no
spaces in between words (e.g., FileName)
File Management
• Is the sorting, naming and maintaining of computer files. It aims to
organize and classify computer data to remove unwanted files.
Folder Creation
• 1. Right-click a blank space on the desktop. This will display Desktop
options where new folders can be created.
• 2. Choose New to create a new folder.
• 3. Rename the new folder with the name we plan to use.

main folder to activate the options, and follow the same steps in
creating a folder.

Lesson 3
Recognizing Computer Threats
• Malware is short for malicious software. It is a code created with
malicious intent. It is designed to damage, destroy, steal, or inflict bad
action on data, hosts, or networks.
Types of Malware:
• 1. A computer virus is a type of malware that propagates by inserting
a copy of itself and becoming part of another program.
• It spreads from one computer to another, leaving infections as it
travels. Some viruses overwrite other programs with copies of
themselves that destroy the host program altogether.
• 2. A computer worm is similar to computer virus in the sense that it

replicates copies of itself and causes the same type of damage.
• Unlike a virus, a worm is a stand-alone software and does not require
a host program to spread. It enters a computer and takes advantage
of file-transport or informational transport features on the system that
allows it to travel on its own.
• 3. A Trojan is another type of malware that was named after the

wooden horse that the Greeks used to infiltrate the city of Troy.
• It is a software that looks real, but it activates and attacks the host
when loaded. It irritates the user with pop-ups, deletes files, steals
data, and spreads viruses.
