Discussion
What is computer?
 computer is a collective of hardware
and software components.
 each playing a vital role in
transforming raw instructions into
the digital experiences we enjoy
parts of computer hardware are:
Input / Output (I/O) Devices:
▪ These are the communication channels
between you and your computer.
▪ Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, and
printer are just a few examples.
parts of computer hardware are:
Power Supply
▪ Is a device that converts electrical energy
from one form to another, typically changing
mains power (AC) into a regulated direct
current (DC) voltage that can be used by
electronic devices.
parts of computer hardware are:
CPU
• The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the
brain of the computer, responsible for
executing instructions and performing
calculations.
parts of computer hardware are:
RAM
• Random Access Memory (RAM) acts as
the computer's short-term memory, storing
data and programs currently in use.
parts of computer hardware are:
Hard Drive (HDD)
• The hard drive provides long-term
storage for data and programs, even
when the computer is turned off.
• Think of it as a vast library or filing
cabinet, securely holding all your
documents, photos, and applications
parts of computer hardware are:
▪ Motherboard
The motherboard is the main circuit board
that connects all the components of the
computer. Picture it as a city's road system,
allowing data to flow freely between the
CPU, RAM, hard drive, and other
peripherals
parts of computer hardware are:
GPU
• Graphics Processing Unit, this specialized
processor handles graphics-intensive
tasks like video editing, gaming, and 3D
rendering.
parts of computer hardware are:
Case and Cooling System
• The case houses and protects the internal
components, while the cooling system
ensures they don't overheat.
What are hardware and Software?
What is the difference?
Discussion
What is computer hardware?
 It is the physical components of the computer
that can be seen and touched are called as
hardware.
 The term hardware is used to refer to all the
components inside or outside the computer.
 Examples: CPU, RAM, motherboard, hard drive,
power supply, monitor, keyboard, mouse,
printer, etc.
Definition computer hardware
What is computer Software?
 It is the sets of instructions that instruct the
computer to do different tasks are called as
software.
 For example, word processing, games, painting,
e-mail, spreadsheets etc.
 Software is the driving force behind the working
of computer. Without the presence of software,
the computer is as good as a piece of plastic
Definition computer software
What is Operating System (OS):
 This software acts as the conductor's assistant,
managing resources, launching programs, and
coordinating communication between hardware
and software.
 Picture it as the sheet music itself, guiding the
players and ensuring harmony.
 For example, Microsoft window, Linux…
Definition operating system
Plugging It All in
 Can you name and describe the functions of
any other computer components we didn't
mention?
 Which hardware component do you think is the
most important? Why?
Discussion
Cables and Connections
USB (Universal Serial Bus):
 For data transfer between devices like computer
external drives, printers, and smartphones.
Cables and Connections
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
 For transmitting high-quality audio
and video signals between devices
like TVs, projectors, and computers.
Cables and Connections
Display Port
 Another option for transmitting high-resolution
audio and video signals is often used with
computers and monitors.
Cables and Connections
Ethernet Cable
 For wired internet connection
between a computer and a router o
modem.
Cables and Connections
Power cable
 Supplies electricity to a device like a
computer or monitor.
Cables and Connections
VGA (Video Graphics Array)
 VGA transmits analog video signals,
primarily used to connect computers
monitors before the rise of HDMI an
Display Port.
2.1. What is an Operating System
Module 2: Start Dealing with Operating Systems
 Manages and controls all the hardware and software resources of a computer.
 It acts as the bridge between you and the hardware.
Key Functions of an OS:
 Resource Management:
 Process Management:
 File Management:.
 Security:.
 User Interface:
Types of Desktop Operating Systems:
 Microsoft Windows: Windows 10, W11
 macOS: used in Apple Mac computers
 Linux: Ubuntu, Fedora
Summarize and Reflect (5 min):
1. What is an OS and what does it do?
2. What are the main functions of an OS?
3. How do different types of OS differ?
4. Why is an OS important for everyday computing
Navigating the Desktop
 icons
 Taskbar:
 Menus:
 Moving:
CONT….
 Creating:
 Renaming
 Deleting
2.3. Essential Tasks and Fun with Apps
Start Menu:
 Click on the Start button (usually located
in the lower-left corner of your screen).

 Press Enter to launch the app.
2.4 troubleshooting Tips and Tricks
Class Room Discussion (40 Minutes)
 Common Computer Despairs (10 minutes):
I. Brainstorming: Ask participants to share common computer issues they've
experienced. List them on a whiteboard or flipchart.
II. Examples: Highlight common problems like:
a. Application crashes (show a frozen app image)
b. Slow performance (use a slow-loading animation)
c. Internet connection problems (display a "no internet" symbol)
2.4 Troubleshooting Toolkit
 Restart:
 Update Check:
Module 3: Using Word Processing
Materials:
 Computer with word processing software installed
(e.g., Microsoft Word)
 Projector or large screen to display instructor's screen
