CORELDRAW
CorelDRAW is a vector graphics editor developed by Corel
Corporation. The software is a robust graphics suite, providing many
features for users to edit graphics. These features include contrast
adjustment, color balancing, adding special effects like borders to
images, and it is capable of working with multiple layers and multiple
pages.
CorelDraw was originally released in January of 1989, running on the
Windows 2.x operating system. Today, the software is still used by
many people, with the latest version, X8, being released on March 15,
2016. CorelDRAW is primarily designed for the Windows operating
system. There were several releases for macOS and macOS X, but poor
sales resulted in the discontinuation of those versions.

3. Interact and share: The interactive nature of SMART boards offers learners an
opportunity to share and participate in the instructional process. Interactivity provides a
platform for students to demonstrate their grasp of the subject through touching,
drawing, and writing. Every learner has an opportunity to participate or contribute to
the presentation and/or discussion via notebooks and tablets. In addition, the boards
provide for rapid assessment whereby learners can receive immediate feedback.
Teachers and students are able to identify individual strengths and weaknesses in
various subject areas and isolate areas/topics that need more focus or review.
4. Low-Maintenance: SMART Boards are neat and easy to use. There are no hassles
cleaning or maintaining whiteboards. The data on the screen can be modified using a
specialized highlighting tool or pen. There is no need for using unhygienic chalk or
marker pens.
5. Access to online information & tools: SMART boards allow learners to easily
access a rich database of online resources. Teachers can use the wide variety of online
information sources such as knowledge databases, online video and news items to
reinforce their lessons. Learners can also quickly access the wide range of powerful
tools and resources to conduct research and supplement their usual study material.

6. Going Green: Interactive boards are also environmentally friendly. They offer teachers an
entirely different way of presenting information to students, which eliminates the need for
writing, printing or photocopying. Which, contribute to eliminate waste and pollution, from
over-utilization of paper and ink.
7. Technology Integration: SMART boards allow for integration of various technologies in
order to improve the learning experience. For instance, it is possible to attach tools such as
microscopes, document cameras, cameras or video cameras to a whiteboard to aid in instruction.
It is also possible to integrate the interactive learning tools with a wide range of software
applications.
8. Communication: Interactive whiteboards allow for connectivity in different locations;
making ideal collaboration and distance learning environments. When using SMART boards,
there is increase in student-to-student collaboration and increase in overall participation during
lesson.
Overall, incorporating SMART Boards to the classroom environment is likely to change the way
teachers impart knowledge to students and at the same time simplify the learning process for
students. Students will find it easy to engage with lessons and gain a better understanding of the
overall lesson. It is an ideal tool for any classroom setting. The education field needs technology
like this for students, learners, and educators to continue to grow in their field.

Types of Files
1) Ordinary Files or Simple File: - Ordinary File may belong to any type of Application for example
notepad, paint, C Program, Songs etc. So, all the files that are created by a user are ordinary files. With the
help of ordinary files we can store the information which contains text, database, any image or any other
type of information.
2) Directory files.: are files stored into a particular directory or folder. For example, a folder named songs
which contains many songs.
3) Special Files.: The special files are those which are not created by the user. They files necessary to run a
system, they are files created by the system manufacturers. What this means is that all the files of an
operating system or windows are special files. All the system files are stored into the system by using .sys
extension.
4) FIFO Files: The First in First Out files are used by the system for executing processes into some order.
The files that come first, will be executed first and the system maintains an order or sequence order. When a
user request for a service from the system, then the requests of the users are arranged into some files and all
the requests of the system will be performed by the system by using some sequence order in which they are
entered or we can say that all the files or requests that are received from the users will be executed by using
some order which is also known as First in First Out or FIFO order.
