LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Set A: Access information and produce output using computer

The desktop is the main screen area that you see after you turn on your computer and log on to Windows. Like
the top of an actual desk, it serves as a surface for your work. When you open programs or folders, they appear on the
desktop. You can also put things on the desktop, such as files and folders, and arrange them however you want.

The desktop is sometimes defined more broadly to include the taskbar and Windows Sidebar. The taskbar sits at
the bottom of your screen. It shows you which programs are running and allows you to switch between them. It also
contains the Start button , which you can use to access programs, folders, and computer settings. On the side of the
screen, Sidebar contains small programs called gadgets.

Working with desktop icons

Icons are small pictures that represent files, folders, programs, and other items. When you first start Windows, you'll
see at least one icon on your desktop: The Recycle Bin (more on that later). Your computer manufacturer might
have added other icons to the desktop. Some examples of desktop icons are shown below.
The Recycle Bin

When you delete a file or folder, it doesn't actually get deleted right away—it goes to the Recycle Bin. That's a good
thing, because if you ever change your mind and decide you need a deleted file, you can get it back.

The Recycle Bin when empty (left) and full (right)

If you're sure that you won't need the deleted items again, you can empty the Recycle Bin. Doing that will permanently
delete the items and reclaim any disk space they were using.

How desktop icons help in work ergonomics?

What are directories of a computer?

not all, contain a quick launch bar (dialogue box launcher) in the bottom right hand corner.

paragraph to be in the left margin. Can be moved to the right of the margin to indent your paragraph.

Hanging Indent
The opposite of a first line indent. It is often moved to the right of the first line indent, which allows the remaining lines
of a paragraph to be indented according to placement of the triangle

The 10 Commandments of Computer Care

1. Install Antivirus Software

Antivirus software is responsible for catching viruses in spammy downloads and fishy websites. Some programs are
free, while others cost around $50-$100 per year. Even if you choose to pay for the software, it’s still far less than what
it would cost to have to restore your system.

2. Perform Regular Software Updates

Software updates keep your PC running smoothly. Updates generally contain fixes for bugs and glitches as well as
enhanced security features.

3. Run Computer Maintenance

Computer maintenance is a vital step in protecting your computer. On a PC, defragment your computer regularly and
clean the registry. Scans and updates are also necessary.

4. Backup Files

It’s a good idea to backup all files so that they are there if something happens to your computer. External hard drives are
the popular choice for backing up photos, videos and other files. Software-based backups are also useful and allow you
to go back in your workstation PC’s timeline in case of a glitch.

5. Keep Your Keyboard Crumb Free

It’s common to eat over your keyboard, but it’s a habit you should stop. Crumbs are more than a nuisance; they can
damage the internal parts of the keyboard.

6. Clean the Screen

Another part of your gaming computer that you should keep clean is the screen. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cleaning, and always use a soft cloth or wipes specifically made for electronics.

7. Remove Dust from Vents and Fans

The fan and vents keep your gaming PC from getting too hot, but dust can get inside and cause them to run slow.
Luckily, you can either clean the fan and vents yourself or take your laptop to a computer shop.

8. Use a Surge Protector

Just one power surge can fry your gaming computer while it’s plugged in. Protect your system with an inexpensive surge
protector, and carry one with you, too.

9. Avoid Extreme Temperatures

 Moderate temperatures of 68 to 71 degrees Fahrenheit are ideal temperatures for computers. Avoid leaving your laptop
in a hot car or cold, damp basement for instance.

10. Carry Laptops in Cases

If you bring your computer with you to school or work, make sure that you transport it in a padded carrying case. These
cases not only protect computers from scratches and dents, but also they prevent them from getting dust and debris
inside the fans, vents, etc.
