Introductory Message
Welcome to TLE 7/8 – ICT (Computer System Servicing)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of San Carlos City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 7/8 - ICT (Computer Systems Servicing) Activity Sheet will help
you facilitate the leaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential
Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between
you and learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links
to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 7/8 - ICT (Computer Systems Servicing) Activity Sheet is

developed to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning
material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent
learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then
perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your
facilitator on the agreed schedule.

II. Background Information for Learners

Why is it necessary to maintain computer equipment and systems?

It’s quite difficult to imagine our lives without computers. Time will come
that computers become a necessity to everyone. Most people need computes
to accomplish their works and to their daily objectives as well. Since
computers become an integral part of our lives, it is very important that we
take care of them by having properly maintained.

Before we do computer maintenance, we need to observe proper

safety procedures for us to keep from harm and danger.

OHS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

OHS or known as Occupational Health and Safety is a planned

system of working to prevent any accident and injury by identifying what is
hazards and risk in the workplace.

Below are some of the OHS procedures that we need to remember all
the time.

1. Do not work alone so that someone can take care of you in case of emergency.
2. Always power off the computer and unplug the computer before working on it.
3. Take away any liquid near your working area to avoid getting electrocuted or
accidentally damaging computer parts.
4. Be careful with tools that may cause short circuit.
5. Always ground or discharge yourself before touching any part of the computer.
6. Do not use excessive force if things don't quite slip into place.
7. Clean the area before and after using it to maintain sanitation and prevent
accidents.
8. Hold the components on the edges and do not touch the Integrated Circuit (IC)
parts.
9. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with the
organization's OHS procedures and practices.
10. Make sure that the pins are properly aligned when connecting a cable connector.
11. Emergency measures during workplace accidents, fire, and other emergencies
are recognized.
12. Use brush, compressed air or blower in cleaning the computer system.

5s for the Personal Computer

Maintaining an organize manner when you are bombarded with multiple tasks,
images, documents and other resources in your computer is quite a hassle.
However, with the help of 5s concept, it provides you the foundations and guidelines
for a quality improvement programs. It results to an increase of daily productivity and
better organizations.

 Below are the 5S that help you organize your computers.

1. Seiri or Sort: Only store important files in your computer. Create folders and
subfolders to organized important computer data.

POSTURE PERFECT
When sitting in front of the computer, make sure that you are sitting in the
right way. If you slouch or sit too far away from the computer table, your body will
soon be in great pain.
Here are some things you need to remember to keep yourself safe and
comfortable when working on the computer.

https://www.merakildh.in/2020/02/correct-sitting-posture.html

1. Sit up straight. This will keep your shoulder and neck from getting stiff.
2. Place your feet flat on the floor. If your feet do not reach the floor, use a stable
footrest.
3. Your elbows should be bent at a right angle at your side. This position allows
your arms to be relaxed.
 4. Make sure your monitor is right in front of you. It is best to sit about two feet
away from the screen.
5. Look away from the computer every few minutes to rest your eyes. Blink a few
times, do not let your eyes get tired.
6. When working on the computer for a long time, take frequent short breaks.
Wiggle your fingers, shake your hands and stand up and stretch on your
tiptoes.
7. Do not squeeze the mouse. Lay your hand gently on it. When moving the
mouse, move your whole arm and not just your hand.
8. Use an optical glass antiglare filter when needed.
