 TEACHER’S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Computers are used everywhere, i.e., at homes, libraries, schools, offices, etc.
They touch every aspect of our life making it easier and comfortable. We rely
on computers for most of our daily work. In today’s world, not knowing about
the computer is nothing less than illiteracy. Knowing about computer and its
uses are no more a luxury, but a necessity.
Keeping in mind the increasing need of computer, IT Planet, a series of 8
books from class 1 to 8 has been written with a focus to impart knowledge
about computers to young minds. This series will help the teachers to make
the children computer-friendly according to the level of their knowledge and
help them acquire computer technology skills as required by the curriculum of
various boards. These books are based on new N.C.E.R.T. guidelines.
OBJECTIVES
You are a computer teacher. The subject you are teaching and the knowledge
you are giving will help the students throughout their lifetime. You are
creating a tech-savvy generation.
We should strike a balance between theory and applications, and we should
include appropriate elements of recent research in our curriculum. We expect
our students to play leading roles in industry, profession and government.
Rather than just coping with the future, we expect our students to create the
future.
Co-existence Is The Key: Learning is a collective effort and not an individual
effort. Group learning enhances better understanding and decreases
dissonance among students.
Integration On Life Skills Into Teaching Methodologies: Learning takes place in
every walk of life – from taking our first baby steps to landing a person on the
surface of the Moon. Learning from life skills is, perhaps, the most essential
part of overall student development.
Bridging The Gap: Students in a classroom learn at different levels, thus, the
need for the teacher to adopt various innovative methods to bridge gaps
between the understanding levels of the first child and the last child.
GUIDED DISCOVERY-BASED LEARNING
The teachers should give their students a discovery-based learning. Compared
with many other subjects, Computer Science is not straight-forward to teach.
One reason for this is the general nature of the computer field. The computer
field is changing very rapidly. The computers available to your students in the
school and homes 20 years from now will be a hundred or a thousand times
as powerful as the computers they have now in school. A guided discovery-
based learning environment contributes greatly to learning, and it facilitates

3
transfer of learning. In addition, you may want to assign a number of activities
at the end of the chapters as homework and make use of this in assessment.

YOU ARE A SMART PERSON

One of the major goals of a teacher is to help students acquire a more
realistic understanding of the course contents. The teacher should make the
students say and believe:
1. "I am better at solving some types of problems than others. I am smart
enough to get better at solving any problem that I care to spend time on."
2. "I regularly encounter and solve problems at home, at work, at play, and
at school. Problems are everywhere. What I learn at school can help me
solve some of these problems. What I learn outside of school can help me
solve some of these problems. Both types of learning are very important
to me."
By the time students get to the classes you teach, they will have repeatedly
demonstrated that they are quite smart and that they are good problem
solvers. One of the things that we know about problem-solving is that success
breeds success. Our school system and our society tend to reward people who
are good at solving school and non-school problems. This positive feedback
promotes putting in the time, energy, and thought needed to become still
better at problem-solving.

TEACHING PROCEDURES
The best teaching style ratio is 90:10.
90% serious teaching style and 10% fun based teaching style.
1. Begin by making sure all students have their books. Ask students to
recall what they learnt from the previous lesson. Then observe several
students' responses.
2. Read the chapter to the students. Explain it to them in a very easy to
understand way. Help students get well-versed with every chapter. Have
them write down some important points that they remember from the
chapter.
3. Assign the activity at the end of the chapter.
4. Closure. Near the end of the period, let students think about some of
the important ideas that have been covered in today's discussions and
readings. Each student has to decide on one idea that he/she felt was
particularly important. As time permits, these ideas can be shared by the
whole class in small groups, written down, or merely thought about at a
personal level.

 Bloom’s taxonomy : teacher planning kit
Bloom's Taxonomy was created under the leadership of educational
psychologist, Dr Benjamin Bloom, in order to promote higher forms of
thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts, processes,
procedures and principles, rather than just remembering facts (rote learning).
It is most often used while designing educational, training, and learning
processes.
It provides an important framework for teachers to use to focus on higher
order thinking (HOT). By providing a hierarchy of levels, this taxonomy can
assist teachers in designing performance tasks, crafting questions for conferring
with students, and providing feedback on student work.
This resource is divided into different levels each with Keywords that
exemplify the level and questions that focus on that same critical thinking
level. Questions for Critical Thinking can be used in the classroom to develop
all levels of thinking within the cognitive domain (development of our mental
skills and the acquisition of knowledge). The results will be improved attention
to detail, increased comprehension and expanded problem-solving skills. Use
the keywords as guidelines to structuring questions and tasks. Finish the
Questions with content appropriate to the learner.

C. Fill in the blanks.

1. Keyframes 2. Stop-motion 3. Frame rate

4. Motion 5. Shape

D. Differentiate between the following.

1. Keyframe: A keyframe is the frame which has an animation in it, or

where a new symbol appears in the timeline.
Blank Keyframe: A blank keyframe is a placeholder for symbols you
can plan to add later, or to clearly leave the frame blank.
2. Motion Tween: A motion tween is a feature that allows you to easily
animate the motion of an object. Instead of defining the location of
the object in every frame, we can create a motion tween, which will
automatically move the object from the beginning location to ending
location.
Shape Tween: We can use shape tweening to morph from one shape
to another. For example, we can morph a circle into a square.

E. Answer in 1-2 sentences.

1. Animation creates the illusion of movement. Each frame replaces the
earlier one so quickly that it is difficult to notice it. Animations can
be used for a lively message or for entertainment.
2. Frames are individual pictures in a sequence of images. We add them
to add time to Animate movie.

15
 3. There are two ways to slow down an animation:
i. You can adjust the frame rate of your Animate movie in the
Properties panel.
ii. You can add frames between your keyframes by right-clicking on
the Timeline, and then clicking on Insert Frame.

F. Answer Briefly.

1. We can create the illusion of movement in a movie by changing the

placement of the Stage content from keyframe to keyframe. This
animation in a movie is called frame-by-frame animation. It is also
called stop-motion animation.
2. Tweening defines two points of movement in the Timeline with two
keyframes; then it lets Animate calculate all the in-between frames
necessary to get from first point to the last point. In Animate, we
have three types of tweening: classical tweening, motion tweening,
and shape tweening.

G. Application Based Question.

The Shape tween option got disabled because shape tweening animation
can only be applied to shapes, not on a symbol.

D. Define the following.

1. Crop tool: It is used to cut only the desired part of an image. It
crops some part of the image and gives us the required part.
2. Clone stamp tool: It is used to clean up small flaws or erase
elements of an image. It also copies information from one area of an
image to another.

E. Differentiate between the following.

1. Brush tool: Brush tool is used to paint the brush strokes or add color
to our image.
Paint Bucket tool: Paint Bucket tool is used to fill an area of an
image with solid color.
2. Foreground Color: Painting tools, such as the Brush tool, apply the
Foreground color in an image. Default foreground color Is black.
Background Color: We can apply the Background color by using
Eraser tool. Default background color is white.
3. Dodge Effect: Dodge tool is used to lighten a specific area of an
image.
Burn Effect: Burn tool is used to darken a specific area of an image.

17
F. Answer in 1-2 sentences.
1. There are many tools in Toolbox that you can use for working on an
image. If we leave mouse curser over the tool, it will indicate the
name of the tool and its keyboard shortcut.
2. i. Changing on-screen size of an image.
ii. Changing the canvas size of an image.
3. Magnetic Lasso tool is used to select elements of our image that have
well-defined edges. It will snap on the edge of the element as you
drag.

G. Answer Briefly.

1. Photoshop is a graphic designer software developed and published

by Adobe Systems.
It allows us to create, modify, combine and optimize digital images.
It is used to brighten, darken and change the hue (shade) of colors
in parts of our image. It lets us print our images, save them in a
format suitable for use on a web, or prepare them for use in a page-
layout program.
2. Color Mode is used to apply the specific colors on your image.
Popularly used color modes in Photoshop are RGB and Grayscale.
RGB is the common mode for working with color images in
Photoshop. Converting an image to grayscale mode removes the
color from our image.

H. Application Based Question.

Crop tool is used to keep the desired photo and remove the rest.

D. Differentiate between the following.

Recorder Layer: Recording a layer of an image changes the stacking order

of layers to move elements forward or backward.
Flatten Layer: Flatten layers combine all the layers of an image into one.

E. Answer in 1-2 sentences.

1. The Layers dialog panel appears on the top right-side of Photoshop

window, where you can work with Layers. It has options which are
used to perform specific tasks.
2. Renaming a layer will help you in identifying it in a better way or
managing many layers in a single image.
3. Hiding a layer temporarily removes elements in that layer from the
view.
4. Transform tool is used to change the shape of the objects in the layer
and it allows you to keep the rest of our image unchanged.

19
F. Answer Briefly.
1. Layers are the key components to work with graphic objects. Layered
Photoshop files act like several images combined into one. Each layer
of an image has its own set of pixels that you can move and
transform, independently of the pixels in other layers.
2. Photoshop blending modes specify how pixels in a layer should blend
with the layers below. Photoshop has many blending modes.
Selecting a blending mode changes the appearance of the layer or
image, based on the layer or layers beneath it.

G. Application Based Question.

He should use Flatten layer or Merge layer option to combine all the
layers according to his need.
