INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – Class 10th

A computer is meant to be accessible to everyone regardless of any disability or impairment, this


is known as Computer Accessibility.

When a combination of hardware and software, it enables a person with a disability or


impairment to use a computer. It is known as Assistive Technology.

Impairments that impact Computer Usage


There are numerous types of impairment that impact computer usage. These include:
• Cognitive impairments and learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, attention deficit-
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism.
• Visual impairment such as low-vision, complete or partial blindness, and color blindness.
• Hearing impairment including deafness.
• Motor or dexterity impairment such as paralysis, cerebral palsy, or carpal tunnel syndrome
and repetitive strain injury.

Accessibility Options (Ease of Access Center) in Control Panel are used to customize the way
your keyboard, display, or mouse function. Many of these features are useful for people with
disabilities

StickyKeys allows the user to press and release a modifier key, such as Shift, Ctrl, Alt, or the
Windows key, and have it remain active until any other key is pressed.
It is an accessibility feature to help computer users with physical disabilities, but
it is also used by others as a means to reduce repetitive strain.

FilterKeys is an accessibility function that tells the keyboard to ignore brief or repeated
keystrokes, making typing easier for people with hand tremors. It is a feature of Microsoft
Windows.

ToggleKeys is an accessibility function which is designed for people who have vision impairment
or cognitive disabilities. When ToggleKeys is turned on, computer emits sound cues when the
locking keys (Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock) are pressed. A high sound is emitted when the
keys are switched on and a low sound is emitted when they are switched off. ToggleKeys is also a
feature of Microsoft Windows.

SoundSentry is designed to help users with auditory impairments. SoundSentry generates visual
warnings, such as a blinking title bar or a flashing border, whenever the computer generates a
sound.

High Contrast is an accessibility feature to assist people with vision impairment. You can change
the size and color of fonts and the background for ease of viewing.

Cursor Options is also an accessibility feature that assists people with vision impairment by
changing the blink rate and width of the cursor.

MouseKeys is an accessibility feature that assists people who have difficulty using a mouse. This
option uses the keyboard (especially numeric keypad) as a pointing device instead of a mouse.

SerialKeys is an accessibility feature that assists people that have difficulty using a keyboard or a
mouse (or both). They can use special devices such as Sip, Puff and Breath Switches to provide
input to the computer through Serial Ports.

A computer network is a collection of computers and other hardware components
interconnected
by communication channels (cables or satellites) that allow sharing of resources and information.

Types of Networking Structures

Peer-to-peer (P2P) Architecture:


Networks in which all computers have an equal status are called peer to peer networks. Generally
in such a network each terminal has an equally competent CPU.

Client-Server Architecture:
Networks in which certain computers have special dedicated tasks, providing services to other
computers (in the network) are called client server networks. The computer(s) which provide
services are called servers and the ones that use these services are called clients.

Types of networks
There are two major types of network Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network
(WAN).

Local Area Network


A local area network (LAN) is one which connects computers and devices in a limited geographical
area such as home, school, computer laboratory, office building, or closely positioned group of
buildings.
Usually local area networks offer very high speeds and are used for connecting computers and
peripherals such as printers, scanners, etc.

Wide Area Network


A wide area network (WAN) is one which covers a broad area (i.e., any network that links across
metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries). The Internet is the most popular WAN, and is
used
by businesses, governments, non-profit organizations, individual consumers, artists, entertainers,
and many others.

Internet
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard
Internet protocol suite to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that
consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks.

Internet is widely used by students, educational institutes; scientist and professionals to gather
information for research and general information.

World Wide Web


World Wide Web (abbreviated as WWW or W3, commonly known as the Web), is a system of
interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view
web
pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia, and navigate between them
via hyperlinks.

A Web Browser is a software used to view Web sites and acts as an interface between the user
and the World Wide Web. Ex – Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer

A Web server is a computer that stores web sites and their related files for viewing on the
Internet.
Some of the advantages associated with networking are:

• Data Sharing: One of the most important uses of networking is to allow the sharing of data.
Users can send text files, spread sheets, documents, presentations, audio files, video files,
etc. to other users.

• Hardware Sharing: Hardware components such as printers, scanners, etc. can also be
shared. For example, instead of purchasing 10 printers for each user, one printer can be
purchased and shared among multiple users thus saving cost.

• Internet Access Sharing: You can purchase a single Internet connection and share it
among other computers in a network instead of purchasing multiple Internet connection for
each computer. This is very commonly found in Internet café (browsing centres), schools,
colleges, companies, etc.

• Usage of network based applications: Such as web browsers, email clients, chat application,
audio & video calling, etc is another advantage.

www.strongpasswordgenerator.com can generate random strong passwords.

Following is a general guideline for managing strong passwords.


• Keep the length of the password at least 12-14 characters if permitted.
• Avoid keeping passwords based on repetition, dictionary words, letter or number sequences,
usernames, relative or pet names, etc.
• Including numbers, and symbols in passwords if allowed.
• Use capital and lower-case letters.
• Avoid using the same password for multiple sites or purposes.
• Avoid using something that the public or workmates know you strongly like or dislike.
• Use random password generators if possible.
Example of a strong password: u1vX:,4Hd{]$

Backup your data: Always keep copies of personal data in additional media such as compact
discs, pen drives, etc. This could be helpful in situation when there is a loss of data. Keep the data
away from unauthorized users.
Use encryption software: (Usually available within the operating system) to protect your data
from unauthorized users. If encryption software is not available within the operating system, use
a 3rd party software.
Keeping your username and password private: Never save your username or password on
computers that are used in shared environments such as internet café. Browsers may save your
personal data on the local computer that can be used by another user using the same computer.
Registering with websites: Read the privacy statement or policy whenever you register with a
website, the statement or policy will include information about how the website use personal
data.
Do not share personal information: Websites require you to fill out forms containing fields such as
name, gender, age, email address, school, etc. Be cautious when filling out such forms; research
and verify if it’s a trustable website . Your email addressed could be used by unauthorized users to
3|Page MS Vinita Sharma (vinitasharmacs@gmail.com)
send you fake or unwanted emails; think twice or thrice before providing information to any
website and decide if it is really necessary.
Secure transactions: If you are using online shopping or transactions, websites even store your
credit card or online banking personal information such as your credit card number, account
details, etc. This information can be tracked and used by un-authorized users often known as
hackers to misuse this information. Again, ensure the website is legitimate and uses secure
practices for performing and maintaining online transactions. Since information such as credit
card details or personal information is sent over the network, it is always recommended to use
only secure websites for such transactions. Verify if the website uses secure transaction; usually it
is indicated through a digital certificate represented as a golden lock in the web browser’s address
bar.
Use antivirus and antispyware software: Computers are prone to attacks from software known
as Malware that could harm your computer. Malware track browsing behavior or transmit
personal data from your computer; programs such as keyloggers could be installed on your
computer track and transmit every key that is pressed on a keyboard (keystrokes) to
unauthorized users. Antivirus and Antispyware programs also offer real-time protection
monitoring your computer for
any changes by malware software. Keep your Antivirus and Antispyware software always up to
date, this can help in protecting your computer from recent threats.

Do not immediately respond to mails from unknown users: It may be a fake mail trying to
gather personal information such as your bank account details, home address, etc. Some mails
could promise you jobs or announce lottery results which in turn could compromise the user. And
in some cases, virus or scripts that are dangerous could be attached to the mail; NEVER open the
attachment from an unknown source.

Clear browser cookies frequently: Cookies are programs that are created on your local
computer when you visit websites. Though cookies are meant for storing data based on your
activity performed during your earlier visit such as logon details, details of a shopping cart, visited
pages in a website, etc. they could also be tracked by unauthorized users and possibly gain access
to your personal information.
Keep the operating system and software applications up to date, though operating systems and
applications are designed, tested and distributed, sometimes they may have security holes
through which a hacker can take advantage; they may track and gather information or even
damage the whole computer. In general, most vendors notify the users whenever a security hole is
identified and an update is available to address that particular issue. You can also visit respective
vendor’s website to check if there are any updates available, download and keep your operating
system
and software applications up to date, free from security holes.

Install firewalls: Firewalls could be software or hardware and can assist in keeping a computer
and a network secure. Firewalls analyze the network traffic and determine if the traffic should be
allowed or not. In most cases, operating systems such as Linux, Windows or Mac include firewall
software as a part of operating system thus keeping the computer secure. In rare cases, you may
need to configure your firewall for additional security.

4|Page MS Vinita Sharma (vinitasharmacs@gmail.com)


Never install software from unknown sources: As they might not be trustworthy; download
only from well-known or reputed websites. Verify the source if it is legitimate by searching the
internet or referring to comments from other users before downloading them; understand the
nature and the purpose of the software before attempting to download and install them.

Remove unwanted or unknown software applications: These might have got installed without
your knowledge when you have visited some websites. Unwanted software could get installed as
they might have been bundled along with necessary software. Some programs such as toolbars get
installed usually through bundled software and are programmed to send personal data without
your consent.

Data transfer on the Internet


Having talked of data transfer and the Internet, have you ever wondered how sitting in one corner
of the world, you get information from another distant area in a few seconds?
In very simple language, let’s see what happens to a piece of data, say a Web page, when it is
transferred over the Internet:
• The data is broken up into bits of same sized pieces called packets.
• A header is added to each packet explaining where the data has come from, where it should
end up and where it fits in with the rest of the packets.
• Each packet is sent from computer to computer until it finds its destination. Each computer
on the way decides where next to send the packet. All packets may not take the same
route.
• At the destination, the packets are examined. If any packets are missing or damaged, a
message is sent asking for them to be re-sent. This continues until all packets have been
received intact.
• The packets are now reassembled into their original form. All this done in seconds!

Key Features of an instant messaging are as follows:


• Text Messages can be sent to one or more person (Similar to SMS)
• Audio calling and conferencing.
• Video calling and conferencing.
• File transfers (Not limited to documents, spread sheets, audio files, video files, etc.)
• Message history (Save messages for future reference).

shading) of the cells based on the values in it. When we use huge amount of data. we, specify a
condition for the values in the cell, and if the condition is satisfied then automatically the formatting
of the cell changes. This feature would be very useful if we were working on a profit and loss
spreadsheet, or a temperature variance spreadsheet, or a marksheet. You could highlight cells that
have values are greater than a defined rule with one color and those less than another with a
different color.

• Perform a manual spell check for terms that is not included during the standard spell check.
24 | P a g e MS Vinita Sharma (vinitasharmacs@gmail.com)
• Remove irrelevant content such as images or cliparts, terms, etc. if they are not required.
Tips to make an effective presentation:-
1. Know your topic – Do the research first and know your material, think through what and how
you will present the matter before making a presentation.
2. Use Key phrases about your topic – Good presenters use key phrases and include only the most
important information. Highlight key points that are necessary for the audience to remember.
Keep the points as short as possible.
3. Avoid too much text on each slide – Do not write whole speech on the slides. The slide show is
meant to accompany your oral presentation. Summarize the content as bullet points.
4. Limit the number of slides – Too many slides in a presentation may cause you to rush to get
through them and your audience will pay more attention to the changing slide than to what you
are saying. On average, one slide per minute is about right in a classroom presentation.
5. Plan the layout of your slide – Make your slide easy to follow. Put the title at the top. Phrases
should read left to right and top to bottom. Keep important information near the top of the slide.
6. Avoid fancy fonts – Make sure the fonts, design and colors are consistent throughout the
presentation. Don’t use different styles for each slide. Use fonts that are readable. Do not use all
capital letters as it may be difficult to read.
7. Use contrasting colors of text and background – Use reasonable mix of text color and
background. Dark text on a light background is usually the best as this combination offers the
maximum visibility.
8. Use a slide design template to keep your presentation look consistent – Always use a single
background on all slides, do not use multiple backgrounds. Use a pleasant template or style set as
it will attract the audience and they will not lose their focus.
9. Use animations and transitions sparingly – Always use animations and transitions in a limited
amount. As using this feature in every piece and every place can be very distracting for the
audience.
10. Also, always review the presentation 2 – 3 times before making a presentation – This can
help in reducing or eliminating any errors in it. Remove irrelevant points during the review, add
or remove images during review. Make necessary corrections before presenting it to a larger
audience.

UNIT – 7
Database Development
Data:data is information that has been translated into a form that is efficient for movement or
processing.
Database – A database is an organized collection of data. For example:- In a stationary shop,
detailed records of the materials available in the shop is database. Similarly in a computerized
system, we need to maintain several files, we would used database programs such as Microsoft
Access, OpenOffice.org Base, and MySQL. These database programs are used to organize the data as
per our needs in the computer system.
Database Management System (DBMS) – A database management system is a software package
with computer programs that controls the creation, maintenance and use of a database. A DBMS
allows different user application programs to concurrently access the same database. Some of the
DBMSs are Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL server, Microsoft Access, PostgreSQL, MySQL, FoxPro
and SQLite.

Data can be organized into two types:-


Flat File: Data is stored in a single table. Usually suitable for less amount of data.
Relational: Data is stored in multiple tables and the tables are linked using a common field.
Relational is suitable for medium to large amount of data.

Database Servers – Database servers are dedicated computers that hold the actual databases and
run only the DBMS and related software. Databases on the database servers are accessed through
28 | P a g e MS Vinita Sharma (vinitasharmacs@gmail.com)
command line or graphic user interface tools referred to as Frontends; database servers are
referred to as Back-ends. Such type of data access is referred to as Client-server model.
RDBMS:- A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system
that is based on the relational model. In the relational model of a database, all data is represented
in terms of tuples (rows), grouped into relations (tables). A database organized in terms the
relational model is a relational database.

Database Concepts:- Database contains objects that are used for storing and managing
information.
1. Item : – Item is about which information is stored in the database.
2. Field:- Each question that we ask about our item is a Field.
3. Record:- Record is a set of information (made up of fields) stored in your database about one of the
items.
4. Value:- Value is the actual text or numerical amount or date that you put in while adding
information to your database.

For example,
Database :- Employee
Emp_Cod Emp_Nam Emp_Addres Emp_Designatio Emp_ContactN Emp_Salar
e e s n o y

E001 ABC Meerut Manager 9876543210 Rs. 50,000


Item : Employee
Field : Emp_Code , Emp_Name , Emp_Address , Emp_Designation , Emp_ContactNo , Emp_Salary
Record :
E001 ABC Meerut Manager 9876543210 Rs. 50,000
Value : E001 , ABC , Meerut , Manager , 9876543210 , Rs. 50,000

5. Key Field :- Key Field is a value in a Field that uniquely identifies the record. Eg. E001 which is
unique to every employee.
Important Question :- How data is organized in a RDBMS ?
Ans :- In RDBMS, data is organized in the form of inter linked tables.

SESSION 2:- DATA STORAGE

TABLE :- A table is a set of data elements that is organized using a model of vertical columns and
horizontal rows. Each row is identified by a unique key index or the key field.
COLUMNS OR FIELD :- A column is a set of data values of a particular simple type, one for each row
of the table. For eg. Emp_Code , Emp_Name , Emp_Address etc.
ROWS OR RECORDS OR TUPLES :– A row represents a single, data items in a table. Each row in a
table represents a set of related data, and every row in the table has the same structure.
DATA TYPES :- Datatypes are used to identify the type of data we are going to store in the database.

Categories of data types:– Data types can be broadly classified into five categories:-

29 | P a g e MS Vinita Sharma (vinitasharmacs@gmail.com)


1. Numeric Types
2. Alphanumeric Types
3. Binary Types
4. Date Time
5. Other variable Types

NUMERIC TYPES:– They are used for describing numeric values like mobile number, age, etc.
The different types of numeric data types available are-
1. Boolean (Yes / No) 6. Numeric
2. TinyInt (Tiny Integer) 7. Decimal
3. SmallInt (Small Integer) 8. Real
4. Integer 9. Float
5. BigInt (Big Integer) 10. Double

ALPHANUMERIC TYPES:-
The list of different datatypes available in alphanumeric types are :-
1. LongVarChar (Memo) (Long Text)
2. Char (Text-fix) (Small Text)
3. VarChar (Text) (Text of specified Length)
4. VarChar_IgnoreCase (Text) (Comparisions are not case sensitive)

BINARY TYPES:-
Binary types are used for storing data in binary formats. It can be used for storing photos, music
files or (in general file of any format) etc.
The list of different datatypes available in Binary types are :-
1. LongVarBinary (Image)
2. Binary (Binary (fix) )
3. VarBinary (Binary)

DATE TIME:-
Date time data types are used for describing date and time values for the field used in the table of a
database. It can be used for storing information such as date of birth, date of admission etc.

The list of different data types available in Date Time type are :-
1. Date (Stores month, day and year information)
2. Time (Store hour , minute and second information)
3. Timestamp (Stores date and time information)

PRIMARY KEY:- A primary key is a unique value that identifies a row in a table. These keys are also
indexed in the database, making it faster for the database to search a record.
FOREIGN KEY:– The foreign key identifies a column or set of columns in one (referencing) table
that refers to a column or set of columns in another (referenced) table.
Note:- The “one” side of a relation is always the parent, and provides the PK(Primary Key)
Attributes to be copied. The “many” side of a relation is always the child, into which the FK(Foreign
Key) attributes are copied.
30 | P a g e MS Vinita Sharma (vinitasharmacs@gmail.com)
Memorize it : one, parent, PK (Primary Key) ; many, child , FK (Foreign Key)

SESSION 3
MANIPULATING DATA

In a database we can define the structure of the data and manipulate the data using some
commands.
There are two types of languages:-
1. DDL (Data Definition Language)
2. DML (Data Manipulation Language)
DATA DEFINITION / DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE:- It is a standard for commands that define the
different structures in a database. DDL statements create,modify and remove database objects such
as tables, indexes and users.
There are two types of DML:
• Procedural: The user specifies what data is needed and how to get it
• Nonprocedural: The user only specifies what data is needed. This is easier for the user but
may not generate code as efficient as that produced by procedural languages.
To create a form,
Click on Forms option located under Database section
Click Use Wizard to Create Form… option under Tasks group. The Form Wizard dialog box
appears as shown below.

The SELECT statement has many optional clauses:


• WHERE specifies which rows to retrieve.
• ORDER BY specifies an order in which to return the rows.

Common DDL Statements are:–


1. Create :- Used to create database objects.
2. Alter :- Used to modify database objects.
3. Drop :- Used to delete database objects.
DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE:– It is a standard for commands that enables users to access
and manipulate data in a database.
Common DML Statements are:–
1. SELECT :- Used for retrieval of information from the database.
2. INSERT :- Used for insertion of new information into the database.
3. DELETE :- Used for deletion of information in the database.
4. UPDATE :- Used for modification of information in the database.
Types of DML:-
1.Procedural:- The user specifies what data is needed and how to get it.
2. Non Procedural :- The user only specifies what data is needed.
Note:- A popular data manipulation language is SQL (Structured Query Language.)

CREATING AND MANAGING QUERRYS


SELECT STATEMENT:
A SELECT statement retrieves zero or more rows from one or more database tables or database
views. In most applications, SELECT is the most commonly used Data Manipulation Language
(DML) command.
31 | P a g e MS Vinita Sharma (vinitasharmacs@gmail.com)
The SELECT statement has many optional clauses:
• WHERE specifies which rows to retrieve.
• ORDER BY specifies an order in which to return the rows.
To retrieve all the columns in a table the syntax is:SELECT * FROM <TABLENAME>;
Eg: For example, if you want to display all the data in the table that you created in the early
session,then the select statement will be: select * from SDetails;After executing the select query
the output will be shown similar to the one displayed below.

To get details about the list of students whose favorite color is blue, you can use:
select * from SDetails where Color=’Blue’;
After executing the select query the output will be shown similar to the one displayed below.

To view records in ascending order of RollNo, from the table the select statement will be:
select * from SDetails order by “Rollno” ASC;

32 | P a g e MS Vinita Sharma (vinitasharmacs@gmail.com)


INSERT statement
INSERT statement is used to add one or more records to a database. The general syntax of the
insert statement is shown below.
INSERT INTO <table_name><column1, column2, column3…> VALUES <value1, value2,
value3 …>;
To add a record in the database created earlier, type the following and click Execute.
insert into SDetails (“ID”, “Name”, “Rollno”, “DOB”, “Class”, “Phone”, “Email”, “Color”,
“Location”) values (‘8’, ‘Ranjith Singh’, ’67’, ‘12-03-99’,’X’, ‘435363’, ‘ranjth99@gmail.com’, ‘White’,
‘Bihar’);
After inserting the data into the table, use select query to view the updated table. After execution
you should see a window similar to the one displayed below.

UPDATE statement
Update statement is used for modifying records in a database. The general syntax of the
update statement is as follows:
UPDATE <table_name> SET <column_name> = value [, column_name = value …]
[WHERE <condition>]
To update a record using update statement, type the following and click Execute.
update SDetails set Location = ‘Bhubaneswar’ where Rollno = 14;
Execute select query to view the updated table. After execution you should see a window
similar to the one displayed below.

DELETE statement
Delete Statement is used to remove one or more records in a database. The general syntax of
the delete statement is as follows:
DELETE FROM <table_name> [WHERE] <condition>;

33 | P a g e MS Vinita Sharma (vinitasharmacs@gmail.com)


To delete one of the records in the table created earlier using delete statement, type the
following and click Execute:
delete from SDetails where ID=8;
Execute select query to view the updated table. After execution you should see a window
similar to the one displayed below.

Notice the record with the Roll No 8 is deleted from the database.
CREATE Statement
Create statement is used for creating a database or a table in any RDBMS Software. A
commonly used CREATE command is the CREATE TABLE command. The general syntax of the
create statement is shown below.
CREATE TABLE <TABLENAME> ([column definitions]) [table parameters]
Column definitions: A comma-separated list consisting of any of the following
Column definition: [column name] [data type] {NULL | NOT NULL} {column options}
Primary key definition: PRIMARY KEY ([comma separated column list])
For example, if you would like to create a table using the Create statement, type the following
and click Execute.
CREATE TABLE Employee (ID INTEGER, Name VARCHAR (50),
Department VARCHAR (50),
Address VARCHAR (120),
Contact_Number INTEGER);

Cha pter 1 (Employability)


34 | P a g e MS Vinita Sharma (vinitasharmacs@gmail.com)
Ability to work independently can be enhanced by being self-aware, self-motivated and self-
regulated.
Let’s now learn what are these:
Self-Awareness
Having conscious knowledge of your own self, capabilities, feelings and one’s own character is
called as
self-awareness. It helps individuals to chart their ways for working independently.
Self-Motivation
Self-motivated individuals have an inner urge to do something, achieve their goals without any
external
pressure. It is a life skill and must be necessarily developed.
Self-Regulation
Self-regulation guides independent individuals as it helps them consider long term consequences
rather
than just transient feelings. It leads to a responsible and a value driven behavior.

Environment includes both the living things as well as non living things. The living things
broadly include plants and animals. The non-living things is constituted of three main parts –
1. Lithosphere – it refers to the outer layer of the earth. It includes rocks and soils found on
the surface of earth.
2. Hydrosphere – it refers to water bodies found on the surface of earth. E.g., seas, rivers,
oceans, streams etc.
3. Biosphere – it refers to that part of environment where life exists.

Demonstrative knowledge of Various methods of Communication


• smiling
• eye contact, wide open
• forward lean
• nodding
• positive facial expression
• fake yawn
• stare
• moves away from speaker
• shakes head negatively
• negative facial expression

Principles of Communication
Face to Face Communication is most effective:
Communication becomes complex as the number of people we are
communicating with increases:
Communication across cultures differs:
Feedback

What is communication?
The imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing or
using some other medium and means of sending or receiving
information.
A communication barrier is thus anything that prevents us from receiving and understanding
the messages others use to convey their information, ideas and thoughts.
Serial Keys is an accessibility feature that assists people that have difficulty using a keyboard or a
mouse (or both). They can use special devices such as Sip, Puff and Breath Switches to provide
input to the computer through Serial Ports.
Kiosk is a computer terminal that features combination of hardware & Software displayed in a
public domain to provide access to information & application for communication, Entertainment,
Education etc.
