 Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Technical Vocational Education-Computer Systems Servicing 7 Project

CAP-LRE Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Performing Computer Operations.

This module was collaboratively designed, developed, and reviewed by educators both from
public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping the learners
meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire the
needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that will
help you in guiding the learners

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also
need to keep track of the learners’ progress while allowing them to manage their own
learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage the learners as they do the tasks
included in the module.

These days we rely on computers for just about everything. With PCs
as advanced as they are, it is easy to forget the fundamentals that have made
modern technology possible. Computers do all the things they do because
they can perform basic operations.

8
Input: Information and programs are entered into the computer through input devices such
as the keyboard, disks, or through other computers via network connections or modems
connected to the Internet. The input device also retrieves information off disks.

Output: Output Devices displays information on the screen (monitor) or on the printer and
sends information to other computers. They also display messages about what errors may
have occurred and brings up message or dialog box asking for more information to be input.
The output device also saves information on the disk for future use.

Processing: The CPU or central processing unit is sometimes called the Control Unit and
directs the operation of the input and output devices. The memory or RAM temporarily stores
information (files and programs) while you are using or working on them.

INPUT DEVICES

DEVICE NAME DESCRIPTION

This is a primary input

Keyboard device used with a
computer. It is composed
of different buttons with
specific function, letters,
numbers, and symbols.

This is a device that

Mouse controls the movement of
the cursor or pointer on a
display screen.

This is a computer screen

Touch Screen that can be used by
touching it with a finger or a
stylus pen to interact with a
computer.

9
 Microphone
This is a device that accepts
audio input from users.

This is a typically small camera

Webcam that sit on a desk, attach to a
user's monitor, or are built into
the hardware. Webcam can be
used during a video chat session
involving two or more people,
with conversations that include
live audio and video.

This is a device that optically

Computer Scanner
scans images, printed text,
handwriting or an object and
converts it to a digital image.

It is also known as a digitizer,

drawing tablet, drawing pad,
digital drawing tablet, pen
tablet, or digital art board) is a
Graphics Tablet computer input device that
enables a user to hand-draw
images, animations and
graphics, with a special pen-
like stylus, similar to the way a
person draws images with a
pencil and paper.

This is an input device that

Joystick
can be used for controlling the
movement of the cursor or a
pointer in a computer device.

10
 Aside from input devices that is used in entering data, computer also needs
application software that interact between user and computer hardware. Each application
software has its own specific function, so determining the appropriate software to be used
based on the tasks to be done is necessary.

Some of the common application software used:

Word Processor – this software main purpose is to encode data.

Examples: MS Word, Libre Office Writer, Open Office Writer

Spreadsheet – it is a spreadsheet program, which contains several columns and rows,

where each intersection of a column and a row is a “cell.”

Examples: MS Excel, Libre Office Calc, Google Sheets

Database Software - is a collection of information that is organized so that it can be easily

accessed, managed, and updated.

Examples: MS Access, MySQL, Oracle

Presentation Software - is a category of application software that is specifically designed

to allow users to create a presentation of ideas by stringing together text, images and
audio/video.

Examples: MS PowerPoint, Prezi, Zoho Show

Desktop Publishing Software - software is designed for creating visual communications

such as brochures, business cards, greeting cards, web pages, posters, and more for
professional or personal printing online or on-screen.

Examples: MS Publisher, Adobe InDesign, QuarkXPress

Graphics Programs- is a software application that allows you to draw, edit, and manipulate
an image or graphic file.

Examples: CorelDraw, Photoshop, and Computer Aided Design (CAD)

Educational Software- these include tutorials and electronic lessons that give students’
knowledge or training in a particular subject or skill, such as Math or Science or in gardening
or cooking.

Web Browser Software – this is a software application for accessing information on the
World Wide Web.

Example: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera

11
Computer Storage Devices Computer need storage devices before and after processing
the data to store information and access later.

STORAGE DEVICES DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE

This is a computer memory RAM

Volatile Storage Device that requires power to
maintain the stored
information.

This is a computer memory ROM, Flash drive,

Non-Volatile Storage Device that can retain the stored Memory Stick, SD
information even when not Card, Hard Disk
powered.

Despite essentially functioning as opposites, both primary storage and secondary

storage often work together to create ideal storage conditions. For instance, when you save
your work in Word, the file data moves from primary storage to a secondary storage device
for long-term retention. Likewise, a primary storage device retrieves data from a secondary
source to speed up access.

PRIMARY STORAGE DEVICE

A primary storage device is a medium that holds memory for short periods of time
while a computer is running. Although it has a much lower access time and faster
performance, it is also about two orders of magnitude more costly than secondary storage.

Example: RAM & Cache

SECONDARY STORAGE DEVICE

Secondary storage hard drives, which store data for the long-term include internal
and external types.

Example: Hard Disk, CD, DVD, Flash Drive, Memory Stick, SD Card

12
Computer Storage Devices can be:

Fixed Storage Devices – devices that is attached inside the computer unit.

RAM (Random Access Memory)

This is a type of computer memory that can

be accessed randomly.

It is usually installed internally in a

computer, attached directly to the disk
controller of the computer's motherboard.
Hard Disk

Removable Storage Devices – devices that can be detach after use and use again later
to another computer.

Flash drives are often referred to as pen

drives, thumb drives, or jump drives.
Flash drives connect to computers and
other devices via a built-in USB Type-A or
Flash Drive USB-C plug.

This is a disc drive that uses laser light or

electromagnetic waves within or near the
visible light spectrum as part of the process
Optical Drive of reading or writing data to or from optical
discs.

An external drive is just a hard drive (HDD)

or solid-state drive (SSD) that is connected
to a computer on the outside rather than on
the inside.
External Hard Drive

Cloud Storage – some websites offer free storage to users. They just need to sign up
before they can avail these free storages.
Cloud storage is a cloud computing model
that stores data on the Internet through a
cloud computing provider who manages
and operates data storage as a service.
Example: pCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox,
Microsoft SkyDrive, iCloud, Amazon drive,
OpenStack
