Introductory Message
For the Facilitator:
Welcome to the T.L.E. CSS Grade 8 Self-Learning Module on Using Basic
Functions of a World Wide Web browser to Locate Information and Maintain
Computer Equipment and Systems!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims
to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them
to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

LESSON

LESSON 6: USING BASIC FUNCTIONS OF A WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW) –

BROWSER TO LOCATE INFORMATION AND MAINTAIN COMPUTER
EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS

Understanding Web Browsers

In 1990 Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Director of the World Wide Web Consortium
invented the first web browser. The first commonly available web browser as
Erwise, with a graphical user interface. Robert Cailliau introduced the creation of
the Erwise. In 1993, with the release of Mosaic, "the world's first common browser",
browser software was further innovated by Marc Andereessen.
A browser is a program used to access the internet. A browser lets you visit
websites and perform activities such as logging in, viewing multimedia, linking
from one site to another, visiting one page from another, printing, sending, and
receiving e-mail, among many other activities.
The Most Popular Names on the Market for Browser Applications are:

OPERA INTERNET
EXPLORER

MOZILLA
GOOGLE
SAFARI
CHROME

• Back and forward buttons to return either to the previous option or

forward.
• Refresh or reload button to make the current webpage or resource reload.
• Stop button is usually merged with the reload button which function is to
cancel the loading website.
• Home button to returning to the user’s home page.
• Address Bar is to encode the Uniform Resource Identifier (URL) to display
the desired webpage.
• Search bar is to encode what you want to look on the search engine.
Usually, it is merged with the address bar.
 • Settings Icon is to change the current setup of the web browser. This
includes deleting search history as well as changing the default search
engine.

• Bookmark is to save the searched website for future use.

• Tab Icon is to identify the different websites opened inside the web browser.

• Maximize, minimize, and exit button control the viewing setting of the
browser. Maximize is to make the screen full, while minimize is to hide the
browser and exit is to eliminate or remove the web browser.

Recommended Ways on Using the Internet

The Internet is a vast and powerful resource for some users and can be
overwhelming. Below are information on how to use the Internet and Internet
browser.

1. Select the most compatible web browser for your computer. To avoid surfing
interruptions like hanging and error pages install a web browser that fits your
computer specification.

2. Use tab but not excessively. You may come across a link while reading an
article or browsing a website that interests you. You can open any link to another
page in a new tab, so it does not interrupt your reading. However, do not open
many tabs that can make your browser slow or unresponsive.

3. Install antivirus that protects websites against the threat. Latest anti-virus
has components that can avoid threats and viruses from dangerous websites. They
can block pop-ups and unwanted websites that could trigger hackers to invade
your computer.

4. Secure personal information. Never give personal details to unreliable

websites. There are many websites which pop up to your screen claiming you won
in a raffle or any information that will make you curious. They are hackers that
waiting for a victim to catch. Bad websites also bring threats, viruses, potential
hackers, and system problems.

5. Clear cookies and history. To avoid the slow response of the web browser or
any error connecting to the internet you must clean your web browser always. This
is necessary for individuals who don’t have a personal computer and uses only
public internet shops. History and cookies are also a threat for potential hacker, so
you need to clear them after using the internet.

Computer Security and Safety

Computer data should be a safeguard from different types of network

attacks,
software, and information theft as well as security risks. There are several
techniques to avoid this type of risk if you can identify and detect some of the
symptoms of possible computer threats that attack the system.

Computer viruses can be transmitted over network and external drives such
as flash drive that can affect a computer negatively by altering the way the
computer works. Types of the virus are worm which copies itself and shuts down a
computer or network; Trojan horse which hides and looks like a legitimate
program; and Rootkit that allows someone to take full control of an infected
system.

To avoid such problems these are some key steps that everyone can take.

• Use passwords that cannot be guessed easily. A cryptic password like with 6-8
characters with one capitalized letter, number, and symbol will be a good
combination. Always keep your password secret.

• It is important that all software application, devices, and the computer is

current and updated. This includes anti-virus, system updates as well as a
firewall.

• Make sure to scan external devices before opening the drives to avoid
contamination of computer viruses on the computer system.

• Check the storage capacity of your hard disk and eliminate some unwanted files
and applications on your computer.

• Back-up your data in a safe external drive, optical drives. or in safe and trusted
cloud drives. Some use back-up and recovery system in case of data loss.

Implementing File Maintenance

File maintenance is a routine in which changing, updating, copying, moving,

or deleting of files is done. This activity is applied to computer or server which
handles a big amount of files. This is also referred to as file management where
files are always maintained and updated not overloading the file on the computer.

1. Use defragment since the file is usually viewed and edits several times causing
files to error-prone. Defragment functions as to rewriting files and stores them in
adjacent sectors. This can lessen the possibility of error of data.

2. Data back-up and recovery system are accomplished by using separate drives or
using an off-site server to store an enormous amount of information this can avoid
loss of data due to human error, or system crash.

3. File Organization is a logical structuring of records according to the way how

files should be categorized. Short access time, ease of update, the economy of
storage, simple maintenance, and reliability should be criteria to apply this
procedure.
4. Know your File Directory in order to avoid duplication, data type, and history.

5. In file sharing you must provide a restriction on your computer for different
users on the network because not anyone is permissible into editing, viewing, or
getting information from your records.
