INFORMATION SHEET
LESSON 10: THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE

What is the difference between a system software and application software?

What are the types of application software commonly run in the computer?
To make the computers work, you have to give them instructions what to do or how to work
with the information. These instructions are called software.
The software is a set of instructions developed by a computer programmer. Software is also
known as program.

Different types of software tell computers how to do different things. When you want to draw
on a computer, you need to have a drawing program. When you want to write on a computer, you
need to have a word processing program.
Software can be classified into two categories:
SOFTWARE CATEGORIES
What is an operating system?
1. Operating System Software- is a set of programs that control how the computer hardware and the
software will work together. Without an operating system, a computer is useless.
*It controls the operations of input, output and input/output devices.
*It manages the reading of data from input devices and transmitting the information to output devices.
*An operating system is the most important software that runs on a computer.

QUARTER 1-WEEK 5-8 Elaine Bautista

 2

*It manages the computer's memory and processes, as

well as all of its software and hardware. *It also allows
you to communicate with the computer without knowing
how to speak the computer's language. 

Some of the well-known operating system software

1. Disk Operating System (DOS) – operating
system intended to run on any Intel 8086-family
of microprocessors.
2. Macintosh Operating System – operating
system program developed by Apple Company
specifically for Apple-Macintosh computers and
its devices.
3. MS Windows – operating system program
developed by Microsoft Company for common type
of personal computers and its devices.
Modern operating systems use a graphical user
interface, or GUI (pronounced gooey). A GUI lets you use
your mouse to click icons, buttons, and menus, and
everything is clearly displayed on the screen using a
combination of graphics and text.
Microsoft Windows
Microsoft created the Windows operating system in
the mid-1980s. Over the years, there have been many
different versions of Windows, but the most recent ones are
Windows 10 (released in 2015), Windows 8 (2012),
Windows 7 (2009), and Windows Vista (2007). Windows
comes pre-loaded on most new PCs, which helps to make it
the most popular operating system in the world.
Mac OS is a line of operating systems created by Apple. It
comes preloaded on all new Macintosh computers, or Macs. All of the recent versions are known
as OS X (pronounced O-S Ten), and the specific versions include El Capitan (released in
2015),Yosemite (2014), Mavericks (2013), Mountain Lion (2012), and Lion (2011).

Linux (pronounce LINN-ux) is a family of open

source operating systems, which means that they can be
modified and distributed by anyone around the world. This is
very different from proprietary software like Windows,
which can only be modified by the company that owns it
(Microsoft). The advantages of Linux are that it is free, and
there are many different distributions (or versions) that you
can choose from. Each distribution has a different look and
feel, and the most popular ones include Ubuntu, Mint,
and Fedora.
2. APPLICATION SOFTWARE – is a set of programs developed to do a specific activity in
the computer.
*Application software uses the capacity of a computer directly for specific tasks and are used to
manipulate text, graphics and numbers.

QUARTER 1-WEEK 5-8 Elaine Bautista

Types of Application Software

1. Word processing software – software used for
writing letters, essays and stories. It allows you to
create, edit, format and print text and graphics in a
document.
Examples of Word Processing Software: WordStar,
Microsoft Word, WordPerfect
2. Desktop publishing software – software used to
prepare pages for newspapers, brochures,
newsletters, and books. This software has various
fonts and creative styles for designing text and graphics on page. Some examples of
desktop software are: Adobe PageMaker, Microsoft
Publisher, Print Artist
3. Spreadsheet software – A worksheet or
spreadsheet is a rectangle grid of rows and columns
intersecting to create cells. It is a software used to
enter data in a tabular form, create formulas to
produce calculations. Some examples of
spreadsheet software are: Lotus 1-2-3, Microsoft
Excel
4. Database software – software used to manage a huge amount of records like
students’ grades, customer’s list, mailing list, telephone numbers and others. This
software can produce reports and can be a source of specific information. Databases are
used in offices, educational settings and organizations of different types. 3 of the most
widely used DBMS designed for microcomputers include Corel Paradox, Microsoft Access
and Lotus Approach. Some examples of database software are: Fox Pro, MS Access, and
Oracle
5. Presentation software -- Information is presented visually through presentation
graphics that combine numerous visual objects for creating interesting and attractive
presentations. These tools are also used for communicating persuasive messages. Slides
are used for electronic presentation and there are layout, normal and slide show views.
You can choose color schemes, slide layouts, special effects, animation, transitions and
builds.
6. Internet Browsers -- A web browser, or simply
"browser," is an application used to access and
view websites. Common web browsers include
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome,
Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. ... For example,
Ajax enables a browser to dynamically update

LESSON 11: PEOPLEWARE

Computers operate using a combination of hardware and software. Examples of peopleware
include individual people, groups of people, project teams, businesses, developers, and end users.
While peopleware can mean many different things, it always refers to the people who develop or use
computer systems.
PeopleSoft software (Peopleware) refers to a person associated with the use of computers in
both the direct and indirect. Related parties include individuals who have direct knowledge of the
computer systems analysts, programmers, such as users, computers, and related parties, including
those indirectly involved or affected by the use of computers.

QUARTER 1-WEEK 7

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

1. Identify the proper ways on how to clean the computer.
2. Enumerate proper ways of handling and taking care of the computer.
3. Explain the importance of proper maintenance of computer.

INFORMATION SHEET
LESSON 11: USING THE COMPUTER WITH CARE
What is the proper ways of handling and taking care of the computer?
Why is it important to take good care of the computer?

Computers, like any other piece of electronic equipment, need special care and
attention in order to perform properly and safely. A malfunctioning hardware will
hang up your work and the worst part is you will have to start all over again.
PROPER WAYS ON HANDLING THE COMPUTER
 KEEP THE COMPUTER OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND EXTREME HEAT.
Extreme heat can damage the small chips inside the computer.
 KEEP THE COMPUTER IN A STABLE PLACE
Banging, pounding, and unnecessary movement would damage the hard disk
and video card of the computer.
 REGULARLY CLEAN THE MOUSE, KEYBOARD, MONITOR AND PRINTER.
Extreme dust and moisture could damage the computer and its parts.
 ALWAYS SHUT DOWN THE COMPUTER PROPERLY
Improper shutting down of the computer will cause damage to the programs
installed and files that are saved in the computer.
 IT IS BETTER TO LEAVE THE COMPUTER TURN ON FOR A SHORT PERIOD
OF TIME, RATHER THAN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN.

QUARTER 1-WEEK 5-8 Elaine Bautista

 10

 Turning on and off can mess up the systematics flow of the operating system of
the computer.
 NEVER UNPLUG THE COMPUTER AND ITS DEVICES WHILE THEY ARE IN
USE.
Any electric interruption may cause your computer to crash.
 PLUG THE COMPUTER TO THE AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR (AVR)
AND NOT DIRECTLY TO THE ELECTRIC SOCKET.
Sudden surge of electricity may cause electrocution to computer especially
during storm.

Keeping your computer physically clean

Dust isn't just unattractive—it can potentially damage or even destroy parts of your
computer. Cleaning your computer regularly will help you keep it working
properly and avoid expensive repairs.
CLEANING THE KEYBOARD
Dust, food, liquid, and other particles can get stuck underneath the keys on your
keyboard, which can prevent it from working properly. The basic cleaning
tips below can help keep your keyboard clean.
1. Unplug the keyboard from the USB or PS/2 port. If the keyboard is plugged into
the PS/2 port, you will need to shut down the computer before unplugging it.
2. Turn the keyboard upside down and gently shake it to remove dirt and dust.
3. Use a can of compressed air to clean between the keys.
4. Moisten a cotton cloth or paper towel with rubbing alcohol and use it to clean
the tops of the keys. Do not pour alcohol or any other liquid directly onto the keys.
5. Reconnect the keyboard to the computer once it is dry. If you are connecting it to
a PS/2 port, you will need to connect it before turning on the computer.

CLEANING THE MOUSE

QUARTER 1-WEEK 5-8 Elaine Bautista

 11

There are two main mouse types: optical and mechanical. Each is cleaned in

basically the same way, although the mechanical mouse requires a bit more work.
1. Optical mice require no internal cleaning because they do not contain any
rotating parts; however, they can get sticky over time as
dust collects near the light emitter. This can cause erratic
cursor movement or prevent the mouse from working
properly.
2. Mechanical mice are especially susceptible
to dust and particles that can accumulate inside the
mouse, which can make it difficult to track—or move—
properly. If the mouse pointer does not move smoothly, the
mouse may need to be cleaned.
The basic cleaning tips below will help keep your mouse
clean:
1. Unplug the mouse from the USB or PS/2 port. If the mouse is plugged into the
PS/2 port, you will need to shut down the computer before unplugging it.
2. Moisten a cotton cloth with rubbing alcohol, and use it to clean the top and
bottom of the mouse.
3. If you have a mechanical mouse, remove the tracking ball by turning the ball-
cover ring counter-clockwise. Then clean the tracking ball and the inside of the
mouse with a cotton cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol.
4. Allow all of the parts to dry before reassembling and reconnecting the mouse. If
you are connecting it to a PS/2 port, you will need to connect it before turning on the
computer.
If you just want to give the mouse a quick cleaning, place it on a clean sheet of
paper and move the mouse back and forth. Some of the dust and particles should
rub off onto the paper.
CLEANING THE MONITOR
Dirt, fingerprints, and dust can make your computer screen difficult to read; however,
it's easy to clean your screen when needed. There are monitor-cleaning kits you
can buy, but they may damage your monitor if they're designed for a different type of
monitor. For example, a monitor cleaner that is designed for glass screens may not
work with some non-glass LCD screens. The safest method is simply to use a soft
clean cloth moistened with water.
Do not use glass cleaner to clean a monitor. Many screens have anti-glare coatings
that can be damaged by glass cleaner.
1. Turn off the computer.
2, Unplug the monitor from the power. If you are using a laptop, unplug the laptop.
3. Use a soft clean cloth moistened with water to wipe the screen clean.
Note: Do not spray any liquids directly onto the screen. The liquid could leak into the
monitor and damage the internal components.

TIPS FOR CLEANING OTHER COMPUTER SURFACES

From time to time, you should clean your computer
case and the sides and back of the monitor to avoid

QUARTER 1-WEEK 5-8 Elaine Bautista

 12

a buildup of dust and dirt. Here are a few tips you can use when cleaning these
surfaces.
1. Dust is your computer's main enemy. Use an anti-static cloth to lightly dust your
computer casing. Do not use furniture cleaners or strong solvents.
2. Use a can of compressed air to blow out debris from the air intake slots.
Ammonia diluted with water—or glass cleaner comprised mostly of ammonia and
water—is a safe cleaning solution for computer surfaces. The milder the solution,
the better.
Clean the monitor housing and case (but not the monitor screen) by spraying a
safe cleaning solution onto a paper towel or anti-static cloth and wiping in a
downward motion.
KEEP IT COOL!
Don't restrict airflow around your computer. A computer can generate a lot of heat,
so the casing has fans that keep it from overheating. Avoid stacking papers, books,
and other items around your computer.
Many computer desks have an enclosed compartment for the computer case. If
you have this type of desk, you may want to position the case so it is not against the
back side of the desk. If the compartment has a door, you may want to leave it open
to improve airflow.

PROTECTING YOUR COMPUTER

Your computer faces many potential threats, including viruses, malware, and hard
drive failure. This is why it's important to do everything you can to protect your
computer and your files.
Why clean your computer?
Cleaning your computer’s hardware and software is important for a lot of reasons.
Clean hardware can help your computer run more smoothly and extend your
computer’s lifespan, which can save time and money. Regular cleaning protects your
investment and your data. When you wipe off the screen and empty crumbs from
your keyboard, you’re helping your equipment perform better and you reduce the risk
it will break down.
Dust and other unwanted dirt can build up and suffocate your PC’s hardware. By
regularly cleaning dust out of the fan vents and case, you can help protect the
system from overheating and causing permanent damage to the internal parts of
your computer and the information you store on it.
How often does it need to be done? If you don’t want to hurt your PC’s performance
and lifespan with the added stress and heat, give it a good cleaning at least every six
month to a year.
While the average user’s computer lasts several years, true cleaning of hardware
and software could extend your PC’s useful life by a few more years.
Clean software helps protect your data. Antivirus software and regular program
updates help ensure viruses, malware, and cybercriminals stay out of your system.
When you back up your files, delete unused programs, and perform maintenance
tasks like defragmenting the hard drive, you help to ensure your computer can save
your files without accidentally corrupting them.

QUARTER 1-WEEK 5-8 Elaine Bautista

 13

You probably like a tidy home. It’s a good idea to keep your computer tidy, too. For
instance, using an external hard drive or cloud-based storage can declutter your
computer while helping to keep valuable data safe and secure.
Computers, like any other electronic device, need regular maintenance. Just like
your annual medical check-up program, your computer also needs scheduled
maintenance of computer hardware to ensure that you extend its lifespan. This is
what many people call preventative maintenance.
But, before we dwell on the purpose of preventative maintenance let us first consider
the basic question of what computer hardware is and what is in the preventative
maintenance program.

INFORMATION SHEET

Lesson 12: COMPUTER ETHICS

What is computer ethics?
What are the different wrong activities done using the computer?
Are you using the computer and its related technology in the right manner, or you just do not care the
effect of improper use of computers to others as long as you are enjoying it?
As computers become more and more a part of our everyday lives, we must understand that with this
technology comes responsibility.

WHAT IS COMPUTER ETHICS?

COMPUTER ETHICS refers to the good manners or right behavior that computer users must
observe and follow when using the computer and its related technology.
Let us enumerate and understand the ten commandments of computer ethics written by Dr. Ramon C.
Barquin. These commandments will guide you on the right behavior that must be observed every time
you use a computer.

10 COMMANDMENTS OF COMPUTER ETHICS

1. THOU SHALL NOT USE COMPUTER TO HARM OTHER PEOPLE.

If it’s not right to hurt other people physically, it is equally bad to harm others by sending
false information and character damaging messages about people, institution, or association.
2. THOU SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH OTHER PEOPLE’S COMPUTER WORK.

QUARTER 1-WEEK 5-8 Elaine Bautista

 16

If it’s not right to break into someone’s home and then mess up the appliances found there, it
is equally bad to use someone else’s computer, mess, edit, and make changes in his files without
permission.
3. THOU SHALL NOT SNOOP AROUND IN OTHER PEOPLE’S FILES.
If it’s not right to go through personal belongings of other people, it is equally bad to open
someone’s personal computer files without his knowledge.
4. THOU SHALL NOT USE A COMPUTER TO STEAL.
If it’s not right to forcibly enter other people’s houses and then get their belongings, and
important documents, it is equally bad to get into the computer system of anybody, an association or

HACKING – Unauthorized and illegal breaking into the computer system of other people or
institution to get documents, information, or financial possession.
HACKERS – are irresponsible users of computer who do hacking activities.
5. THOU SHALL NOT USE A COMPUTER TO BEAR FALSE WITNESS.
If it’s not right to spread false rumors about a person, it is equally bad to post false
information on the computer just to gain benefits.
6. THOU SHALL NOT COPY OR USE LICESED SOFTWARE FOR WHICH YOU HAVE
NOT PAID.
It is not right to use someone’s property without asking permission, it is equally bad to

LESSON 13: Data Privacy

Data privacy, also called information privacy, is the aspect of information technology (IT)
that deals with the ability an organization or individual has to determine what data in
a computer system can be shared with third parties.

Privacy is important because: Privacy gives us the power to choose our thoughts and

feelings and who we share them with. Privacy protects our information we do not want
shared publicly (such as health or personal finances). Privacy helps protect our physical
safety (if our real time location data is private)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjX7CT6M1x8 - Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173)

Why is Privacy important? (Data Privacy Day)

What data is being collected about me?
Many of our activities leave a trail of data. This includes phone records, credit card
transactions, GPS in cars tracking our positions, mobile phones (with or without GPS), and
the list is growing. Online, almost all activities leave a trail of data which service providers
will collect, such as instant messaging, browsing websites or watching videos.
This trove of personal data is collected, stored, and may be shared with others – without
your consent!

Why is privacy important?

Privacy is the ability to control who can access information about our private life and our
activities.
Privacy is important because:

 Privacy gives us the power to choose our thoughts and feelings and who we share
them with.
 Privacy protects our information we do not want shared publicly (such as health or
personal finances).
 Privacy helps protect our physical safety (if our real time location data is private).
 Privacy helps protect us as individuals, and our businesses, against entities we depend
on or that are more powerful than us.
 Privacy is tied to Freedom…. Could we really be free – and have free will – without
Privacy?
Can we still maintain privacy?
Thankfully Privacy is not dead (yet) but it is under threat. Some entities such as the NSA
have made it clear that their goal is the end of privacy, worldwide. Without privacy, we will
become easily controlled, manipulated, and feel a loss of control over ourselves and our
personal lives.

However, the good news is that now more than ever, many businesses, technologists, activists
and others are hard at work to improve and maintain our privacy.
How do I protect my privacy?
There are many ways you can improve your privacy, for example by exercising caution
before sharing private data online or with others. You may also make minor decisions, such
as paying in cash instead of using a credit card, encrypting your emails and backups, and
reading the terms of services before using a product (ie. is your privacy going to be
respected?).
