Lesson 1 – Part 1: Typing Through Time

*at this point the teacher will show images of the early methods of writing

Are you familiar with these images?

In the early times, our ancestors use things available in nature to record a bit of their life here on earth. Some of
them are written on stones, leaves, wood and sometimes in cave walls.
Just imagine our life today if we still use this method of writing. Do you think it will be effective?
Imagine keeping these stone documents in your bag, that will be a tiring job just to carry these things.
Fortunately, our ancestors have created a better way to express their thoughts and record anything through
writing with the use of technology.

**at this point the teacher will show images of typewriters

Are you familiar with this?

To begin exploration of the first keyboards, we must first examine the origins of typing and the first typing
devices. What did the first typing machines look like? The first manufactured typewriters resembled sewing
machines more than what most people imagine when they think “typewriter.”
So how did we get to where we are now, in the high-tech age of computers and plastics? To move forward, it’s
important to first move backwards in time and see how these first commercially successful type-writers came to
be.

The typewriter has come a long way over the years, all leading into the age of computers and the most widely
used input device: the computer keyboard.

Lesson 1 – Part 2: What is a computer Keyboard? – Parts, Layouts & Functions

**reference material or this lesson:
https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-a-computer-keyboard-parts-layout-functions.html

To enter text into a computer, you use a keyboard. Learn about the different types of keyboards and the typical
layout of the keys. If you are doing a lot of typing, it is a good idea to get familiar with all of its special functions.

Description:
A computer keyboard is an input device used to enter characters and functions into the computer system by
pressing buttons, or keys. It is the primary device used to enter text. A keyboard typically contains keys for
individual letters, numbers and special characters, as well as keys for specific functions. A keyboard is connected
to a computer system using a cable or a wireless connection.

Most keyboards have a very similar layout. The individual keys for letters, numbers and special characters are
collectively called the character keys. The layout of these keys is derived from the original layout of keys on a
typewriter. The most widely used layout in the English language is called QWERTY, named after the sequence of
the first six letters from the top left.

Character
Keys

Modifier keys (e.g., Control, Shift).

Navigation keys (e.g., arrows for up, down, left, right) and lock keys (e.g., Caps Lock).
Other sets of keys common to almost all keyboards are entering and editing keys (e.g., Enter, Delete, Insert)

Additional keys are very operating system specific (such as the Windows and Apple keys)

Navigation
Modifier Keys Keys

Modifier keys are used to initiate the special functions of some keys on the keyboard.

**reference for material used:

https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000306.htm

Most keyboards also include a set of Function keys at the top (F1, F2, etc.). The function keys typically perform a
very specific task within a particular software application. So, what they do may depend on what you are doing
on your computer at the time.

Function Keys

The function keys or F-keys on a computer keyboard, labeled F1 through F12, are keys with a special function
defined by the operating system or the running program. They may be combined with the Alt or Ctrl keys.

In some laptops, Function keys are doubled as a basic function such as

volume controls, brightness controls, sleep mode, toggle mute, or airplane
mode. This is done by pressing the fn button and the function key
simultaneously

For an instance, you want to change the volume. So you will press:
 Numeric Keypad

A separate set of keys on some keyboards that contain the numbers

0 through 9 and a decimal point arranged as on an adding machine.
Numeric keypads make it easier to enter large amounts of numeric
data.

Frequently, the keys on the numeric keyboard also serve as cursor

control keys. Their meanings, therefore, depend on what mode the
numeric keypad is in. In numeric mode, they represent numbers; in
cursor control mode, they are like arrow keys. Keyboards that
support these dual functions contain an additional key that enables
you to switch modes. The name of this key varies -- on many
keyboards it is labeled NumLock.

Computer shortcut keys

Shortcut keys help provide an easier and quicker method of navigating and executing commands in the computer
software. Shortcut keys are commonly accessed by using the Alt key (on IBM compatible computers),
Command key (on Apple computers), Ctrl key, or Shift key in conjunction with another key.
The de facto standard for listing a shortcut is listing the modifier key, a plus symbol, and another key.
In other words, "Ctrl+S" is telling you to press and hold the Ctrl key, and then press the S key too.

 Wrap up
What do we know?

 The Typewriter is the first typing machine

 The Keyboard is an electronic device that is used to enter data into the computer
 The keyboard has its parts: Character Keys, Function Keys, Numeric Keypad,
Modifier Keys and Navigation Keys

Did you know that?

-Not everybody used a QWERTY keyboard. There are actually 6 other alternative
layouts like AZERTY, QWERTZ, DVORAK, COLEMAK, MALTRON and JCUKEN.

For some countries—and some languages—QWERTY just won’t cut it.

Go search for them! It is always good to know that you know!

6. Have a screen shot of your research as proof of compliance
7. Attach the screenshots in your activity

Answer the questions according to you own perspective

1. Aside from the commonly used QWERTY keyboard layout, do you think you can use other layouts as
your main keyboard layout? What keyboard layout do you prefer? And why?

2. Among all the different basic shortcut keys in the keyboard, which of those command do you think you
can use in your Online Learning? Do you think using shortcut keys will make the computer easier to
use? Why?

3. How will you compare the mobile phone keyboard to a computer keyboard? Which one do you think is
faster and more effective in your Online Learning? Why?

4. How will you compare the keyboard to the type writer? What do you think is the most effective to use?
Why?

5. What do you think will be your situation in this pandemic if computers and keyboard are not invented
