bundles several applications together into a single large package. Ex.: Microsoft Office
2000, includes Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint which is a word processor,
spreadsheet, database and presentation respectively.

Word Processing Software – Allows you to use computers to create, edit, format, print and
store some text material, among other things.

spreadsheet was the most popular small-business program.

 Microsoft Excel
 Corel Quattro Pro
 Lotus 1-2-3

Database Software – In general sense database is any electronically stored collection of data in
a computer system. In its more specific sense, a database is a collection of interrelated files in a
computer system. These computer-based files are organized according to their common

entry-level accounting programs to business financial-management packages. Personal-finance
managers let you keep track of income and expenses, write checks, do online banking and plan
financial goals.

 Quicken 20000
 Microsoft Money

Desktop Publishing – Involves mixing text and graphics to produce high-quality output for
commercial printing using a microcomputer and mouse, scanner laser or ink-jet printer, and
DTP software. Often the printer is used primarily to get an advance look before the completed
job is sent to a typesetter for even higher-quality output.

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) – Are intended for the design of products, structures, civil
engineering drawings and maps. CAD programs which are available for microcomputers, help
architects design buildings and workspaces and help engineers design cars, planes, electronic
devices, roadways, bridges, and subdivision. One advantage of CAD software is that the product
can be drawn in three dimensions and then rotated on the screen so the designer can see all
the sides.

 Autosketch (CAD)

Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) – Software allows products designed with CAD to be
input into an automated manufacturing system that makes the products.

3. Different types of computer and its use (at least 5)

SUPERCOMPUTERS: Are high-capacity machines with hundreds
of thousands of processors that can perform over 1 trillion of
calculations per second. The most expensive but the fastest
computers. It is used tasks requiring the processing of enormous
volumes of data, such as doing the U.S. census count, weather
forecasting, designing aircraft, modeling molecules, breaking
codes and simulating explosion of nuclear bombs.

MAINFRAME COMPUTERS : Are water or air-cooled computers

(often called as midsize computers) are used by large
organizations such as banks, airlines, insurance companies and
colleges – for processing millions of transactions.- often, a users
access a mainframe by means of a terminal which has a display
screen and a keyboard attached to it. Can input and output data
but cannot by itself process data.

WORKSTATIONS: Are expensive, powerful computers

usually used for complex calculations and for computer
aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing
(CAM). Workstation are used for task such as designing
airplane fuselages, drugs prescription and movie special
effects. Caught the eye of the public mainly for their
graphics capabilities , which used to breath three-
dimensional life into movies such as (Pearl Harbor, Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings)

MICROCOMPUTERS: Also called personal computers, can fit next to a desk or on a desktop.
They are either stand-alone machines or connected to a computer network such as local area
networks (LAN).
Microcontrollers: Also called embedded computers, are the tiny specialized microprocessors
installed in a “smart” appliances and automobiles.

C. Assessment / Application:

1.Based on the picture below, give your insights if the

Ferris Wheel refer to the technology, and the riders
refers to educators.

In the picture below, it considered that ferries wheel refer to the Technology which is
means that without a Technology or network, we cannot build force or strength to make our life
easier. Imagine life without technology Right now, what kind of life have we? Technology is part
of our lives and is one of the key elements for mankind’s survival in a quick-phase world. The
development of new technologies helps to save lives; it improves work and makes the world
better. Technology provides students with easy-to-access information, accelerated learning, and
fun opportunities to practice what they learn. Moreover, it can also be base in the economy and
changed how we communicate, access information, work, and even play, its impact on schools,
teaching, and learning has been much more limited. We believe that this limited impact is
primarily due to technology being been used to replace analog tools, without much
consideration given to playing to technology’s comparative advantages. Technology affects the
way individuals communicate, learn, and think. It helps society and determines how people
interact with each other on a daily basis. Technology plays an important role in society today. It
has positive and negative effects on the world and it impacts daily lives. Technology is inevitable
in our everyday lives. This is because life without technology is pointless in today’s dynamic
world. Technology, which brings together tools to promote development, use and information
exchange, has as its main objective of making tasks easier and the solving of many problems of
mankind. When technology progresses and makes our lives even more convenient, we must
stress how beneficial it is to our lives. Nobody else has changed technology’s way of life, and
that is precisely why technology is and will always be so important today. so Technology is
important in our daily life in many ways that we cannot ignore purposefully.

2. Identify three (3) concepts that you will learned in this lesson. Write the ideas about the
idea.

In this lesson, a lot of learnings that have been drawn . We all know that todays generation
Technology is an integral part of our lives and teachers can more effectively reach them when
they integrate technology throughout the curriculum. You do not have to be an expert with all
of the different technologies. What you do need to know is how to effectively integrate
technology to motivate your digital learners. Today's students will spend all of their lives in a
digital age. In fact, most students come to school with a deeper understanding of how to use
technology than their teachers.

Three concepts:

The importance of technology and the different types of computer and its use.

 Today’s world, unpredictability is the only thing which doesn’t change. Things which
were true yesterday is not true today and tomorrow is a whole different story. The only
way of equipping future generations is to help them tap into their creative wisdom.
Here lies the importance of Educational Technology in teaching and learning. Creativity
 is simply the ability to create solutions out of thin air. All you need is a powerful sense of
imagination. And that’s one thing every child has, until schools kill it.

The use and the importance of networks in our daily lives and job environment. Also the
classification of Application Software and its sample.

 Know importance of the differences between computer, information and integration

literacy
 Identify the major components of computer
 Identify the different types of software
 Enlightened why and how technology is important to educational process
 Determine ways the Internet and WWW can be integrated into your classroom or
training environment.

The different Operating System its’s features. And the importance of technology in education.

 allow students to personalize their education;

 automate many tedious and rote tasks of teaching and managing classes;
 reduce the teachers workload per student so he or she can spend more time on reaching
individual students.
