00:00:06
good day Learners and welcome to module
00:00:08
1.1 of your grade
00:00:10
10 cat textbook okay so we're going to
00:00:14
be starting with an introduction to
00:00:17
computers and let's see what we have
00:00:20
install for you today so we're going to
00:00:21
be looking at what a computer is in
00:00:23
introduction to Windows bit of Hardware
00:00:26
software um and the information
00:00:28
processing cycle um so let's get stuck
00:00:31
in now the first question we need to ask
00:00:34
here is well what is a
00:00:37
computer I mean many of us see all of
00:00:39
these devices but what exactly is a
00:00:41
computer how do we Define it because it
00:00:44
could be a laptop it could be a
00:00:47
smartphone it could even be a
00:00:49
tablet in the past this is what we
00:00:52
defined as just being a computer but
00:00:56
obviously things have changed technology
00:00:58
has moved forward
00:01:00
um we talk about
00:01:02
desktops that we used to work with but
00:01:04
now you can see we have moved onto a lot
00:01:07
of the newer Technologies but when we
00:01:09
talk about a computer we're talking
00:01:11
about something that is multi-purpose
00:01:13
which means it can do more than one
00:01:14
thing it's an electronic device and many
00:01:18
of them like these over here are
00:01:20
portable now portable in when we talk
00:01:22
about computers doesn't mean that I can
00:01:25
just pick it up and I can walk around
00:01:26
with it no that's not what it means it
00:01:29
means means that it can operate on a
00:01:32
battery or using a battery so I can work
00:01:35
with it on the goal I can't do that with
00:01:37
this okay so when we use the general
00:01:42
term computer we're talking about all of
00:01:44
these devices so there is a typical one
00:01:48
and we can Define it this way we can say
00:01:51
that a computer is an electrom
00:01:53
mechanical device that does a job of
00:01:57
work for the user okay does that
00:02:01
computer do something on its own no it's
00:02:02
actually doing something for the user so
00:02:05
that's one way of uh defining our
00:02:08
computer also it consists of two main
00:02:11
parts and that's namely your Hardware so
00:02:14
that's the physical things we're talking
00:02:16
about here things that you can touch
00:02:19
things that you can see and then
00:02:21
software which is related to the
00:02:23
programs that are going to be running on
00:02:26
this piece of Hardware okay now let's
00:02:30
look at some of these here we first of
00:02:32
all going to look at the hardware and
00:02:33
like I just mentioned Hardware are those
00:02:36
parts that are physical they can be seen
00:02:39
they can be touched so we've got things
00:02:41
like our power supply our printers our
00:02:43
monitors keyboard mouse hard drive
00:02:46
optical drive and don't stress when you
00:02:48
see all these things because we will be
00:02:50
going through these things in detail and
00:02:52
all of these components are found inside
00:02:56
this box okay so this is what we mean
00:02:58
when we talk about
00:03:01
Hardware software is a little different
00:03:04
software is basically coded instructions
00:03:06
that run all aspects of the computer in
00:03:10
other words these are
00:03:12
instructions that tell the hardware that
00:03:15
tells this
00:03:16
hardware and other software what to do
00:03:20
so it's one thing to have these pieces
00:03:23
of Hardway in place but you are going to
00:03:25
need a program um that tells the
00:03:29
computer what it actually needs to do
00:03:31
with that right I mean it's like you're
00:03:32
taking a printer you plug it in and then
00:03:35
what it doesn't just work you need a
00:03:38
piece of software that's going to tell
00:03:39
the PC listen this is a printer this is
00:03:41
what it does um and then you can start
00:03:44
working with
00:03:45
it now we also have different types of
00:03:47
computers for example you have something
00:03:49
called a super computer now these are
00:03:53
high powerered large computers and we're
00:03:56
talking about a lot bigger than your
00:03:58
normal desktops
00:04:00
right um there are large computers used
00:04:03
by big corporations and governments for
00:04:05
example NASA uh different universities
00:04:08
whenever you need to do massive amounts
00:04:11
of
00:04:12
calculations okay think about that huge
00:04:15
calculations does NASA need to do that
00:04:17
yes do some of our government
00:04:19
institutions need to do that yes then
00:04:22
you also have something called a main
00:04:25
frame I want you just to get your head
00:04:27
around all these different types of
00:04:30
computers these are also very powerful
00:04:33
computers but they are used to control
00:04:36
major networks for example Banks also
00:04:40
universities large companies right
00:04:43
especially when you have companies um
00:04:45
that span a large over a large area as
00:04:48
well um so just get to grips with the
00:04:51
difference between your main frame and
00:04:54
your supercomputer then the one that we
00:04:57
really uh chat about quite a lot are the
00:05:01
servers now again a server is going to
00:05:04
be more powerful than your general
00:05:07
desktop machine all right so that's the
00:05:10
first thing but what does the server do
00:05:12
as the name implies if someone is a
00:05:15
server it means they are rendering a
00:05:17
service so this is a powerful computer
00:05:20
that provides services for a network and
00:05:24
that's why it's called a server their
00:05:27
services include things like printing
00:05:30
email and storing files this is a
00:05:32
definition that's going to stick with
00:05:33
you all the way through to grade 12 so
00:05:37
do not forget what a server is and some
00:05:41
of the services that it
00:05:42
renders now most of us are familiar with
00:05:45
this we see the gaming PCs the gaming
00:05:49
desktops and this is really what we call
00:05:51
our our personal computer it is a single
00:05:55
computer for home or office use whether
00:05:57
you are doing gaming at really doesn't
00:05:59
matter um but you are still using it at
00:06:02
home or office use and it's usually
00:06:04
found on a
00:06:05
desktop so guys this is why this type of
00:06:09
computer uh is called a desktop machine
00:06:12
because it's usually found on top of the
00:06:14
desk okay uh it sounds silly but that's
00:06:18
that's why they've named it that um
00:06:21
think about a laptop where do you use
00:06:23
the laptop most on your
00:06:26
lap okay
00:06:28
um Right Moving On we then also have our
00:06:32
mobile devices now most of us have
00:06:35
mobile devices and yeah they tell us and
00:06:37
we know that they are electronic devices
00:06:39
we don't have an issue with that usually
00:06:41
handheld now look at that
00:06:44
portable right do not forget that that
00:06:46
is something that is very important it's
00:06:48
something that does come up you do get
00:06:49
questioned on that quite a bit what does
00:06:52
the term portability mean when it comes
00:06:55
to mobile devices now this helps the
00:06:58
user with the diary dates calendars
00:07:03
notes I mean these days with your
00:07:05
smartphones and tablets you can do so
00:07:07
much more but what you need to remember
00:07:09
is if it's a mobile device it's an
00:07:12
electronic device first of all and it is
00:07:15
portable so all of these devices work
00:07:17
with
00:07:21
batteries then another one our
00:07:23
smartphone again a term that comes up
00:07:26
often smartphones or devices that com
00:07:29
Bine functions of a phone with Computing
00:07:32
abilities have you ever looked at a
00:07:34
Smartphone when you when you go and buy
00:07:36
it and you see the same specs as you do
00:07:39
with a computer you're looking at the
00:07:41
CPU you're looking at Ram you're looking
00:07:43
at all these pieces of Hardware um
00:07:45
that's no different from the hardware
00:07:47
that's now found in our computers okay
00:07:50
so these devices bring all the functions
00:07:53
of different devices into a single
00:07:55
device now think about that what can
00:07:58
your smartphone do can you use a camera
00:08:02
on it do you have a video camera do you
00:08:05
have an audio recorder do you have a
00:08:09
calendar um you know there's there's
00:08:11
just so so many other features but these
00:08:14
and and this is why they call it
00:08:15
converging devices or the term
00:08:17
convergence which just means that we
00:08:20
bringing um the functions of separate or
00:08:23
different devices into a single device
00:08:25
in the past you had a dedicated digital
00:08:28
camera on its own a video camera on its
00:08:30
own um a music player on its own now our
00:08:35
smartphones have everything built into
00:08:38
it okay so um for test and exam purposes
00:08:42
please always remember what a smartphone
00:08:43
is and then this term
00:08:45
convergence as
00:08:47
well then let's take a deeper dive into
00:08:49
our hardware and software now we already
00:08:51
said that Hardware um is dealing with
00:08:54
the physical parts of a computer that we
00:08:56
can touch and see things like our mou
00:08:59
Mouse monitor keyboard printer and the
00:09:01
parts inside this computer box those are
00:09:03
all the things um the physical parts
00:09:06
that we can touch and see our software
00:09:09
here we see examples of our software we
00:09:11
said these are coded instructions or
00:09:13
Specific Instructions that we give the
00:09:15
computer to get it to do something
00:09:18
useful we use Microsoft Word to do what
00:09:22
to be able to in its simplest form type
00:09:24
out letters right so we are using this
00:09:27
piece of software to do something
00:09:29
useful um we also have multi-purpose
00:09:32
tools means there is the ability to run
00:09:35
different types of programs okay so just
00:09:39
understand the difference between
00:09:41
hardware and software so having said
00:09:45
that why then is a smartphone or why um
00:09:49
Can a smartphone also be regarded as a
00:09:52
computer and here has a little
00:09:54
screenshot of a few of the icons and
00:09:56
apps on a
00:09:58
smartphone now we need to remember that
00:10:01
each one of these apps on your phone
00:10:04
they enable it to do much more than just
00:10:06
make calls right remember in the past
00:10:09
your old cell phones were just there to
00:10:13
send a message and to make a phone call
00:10:15
that was it the reason we now call these
00:10:18
new devices smartphones is because they
00:10:19
can do so much more and the apps or
00:10:22
programs or software applications enable
00:10:26
it to do much more than just make calls
00:10:28
I mean yeah you've got messenger you can
00:10:29
check in with a school with a D6 you can
00:10:32
go and have a look at what's um you know
00:10:34
some of your hobbies and favorite things
00:10:35
on Pinterest uh send a message or video
00:10:38
call Via WhatsApp so all of those things
00:10:43
um enable us to call a smartphone or
00:10:46
regard a smartphone as a computer has it
00:10:49
got the same Hardware as a computer the
00:10:51
same things it's also got Ram CPU um
00:10:55
hard drive all of these things so that
00:10:57
is why it falls within that term now
00:11:01
here's something that's going to be with
00:11:03
you all the way through until grade 12
00:11:06
in fact all of this stuff um and this is
00:11:08
the information processing cycle so this
00:11:11
is how information is processed when it
00:11:14
comes to any Computing device we start
00:11:17
with the input so this is really talking
00:11:21
about how the data is you know put into
00:11:26
the device if I'm for example and I'm
00:11:28
going to use the example of um entering
00:11:31
someone's number on your phone what do
00:11:33
you do you first have to type that
00:11:35
number out then the processing of the
00:11:38
data takes place this is now where the
00:11:41
person as they type in the number the
00:11:44
cell phone checks to see if you've
00:11:46
already got that
00:11:49
number do you have it maybe you do maybe
00:11:52
you don't the output is the result so
00:11:55
now we see okay I've now got that yeah I
00:11:57
can see the number I can see the
00:11:59
person's name and once I save it I've
00:12:02
then got my storage here as well okay
00:12:05
this you must know we need to know the
00:12:09
steps we also need to be able to
00:12:11
identify certain devices with this um
00:12:14
and it is something important especially
00:12:16
in grade 12 okay so here we go again and
00:12:20
this is why I'm showing you different
00:12:22
things so that you can get your head
00:12:23
around the information processing cycle
00:12:26
the input this is the data I spoke about
00:12:29
right the processing this is where we
00:12:31
dealing with our Ram in other words our
00:12:35
our hardware and just in very simple
00:12:38
form our output will display the results
00:12:42
so whatever we do here with the
00:12:44
processing the results fall under
00:12:47
output let's use the example again
00:12:50
there's your cell phone you adding a
00:12:52
contact to your smartphone with the
00:12:54
input you are typing in the context
00:12:55
details using the keyboard process where
00:12:59
the smartphone checks if it is
00:13:01
already um saved on the phone you can
00:13:05
then store it in other words save it and
00:13:09
then your with your output of message is
00:13:11
displayed on the screen showing that the
00:13:13
contact either exists or it's now been
00:13:17
added because you've saved it because
00:13:18
it's a new contact right now this is all
00:13:23
based on the following for grade 10 you
00:13:26
must know the difference between between
00:13:29
data and information so
00:13:34
data it's defined in two words it's just
00:13:37
raw facts unprocessed facts so giving me
00:13:42
somebody's cell phone number no name
00:13:44
nothing you just give me a cell phone
00:13:46
number that is just
00:13:47
data right it's raw when I when I take
00:13:51
that and I add that with maybe the
00:13:54
person's name their address things like
00:13:56
that then it becomes more useful ful to
00:13:59
me and then it becomes information so if
00:14:03
this is
00:14:04
unprocessed facts then here we're
00:14:07
talking about it now being processed and
00:14:10
it becomes useful that's when it now
00:14:13
becomes information so data raw facts
00:14:17
information some have defined it as
00:14:20
processed um facts or useful or our data
00:14:25
that has been turned into a more useful
00:14:27
form and that's where we get
00:14:30
information right now when we look at
00:14:35
windows I mean most of us have phones
00:14:37
tablets laptops desktops when you switch
00:14:40
it on you know you either have Windows
00:14:43
or some other kind of operating system
00:14:45
so let's just get to grips with this the
00:14:48
first thing we need to know is the
00:14:50
following when we press that power
00:14:52
button and everything begins to load
00:14:55
this is what's known as the booting
00:14:57
process this is where the operating
00:14:59
system Windows or whichever one you have
00:15:02
whether it is your smartphone as well
00:15:04
and you're using iOS or Android or
00:15:07
whatever it is the operating system is
00:15:09
automatically loaded when the computer
00:15:11
is switched on right you restart your
00:15:14
phone the same thing is happening that
00:15:16
is called the booting
00:15:20
process when I get past this process I
00:15:24
get to a point where I need to start
00:15:26
entering my details and then I can log
00:15:30
onto the system I can log on to my
00:15:33
smartphone desktop laptop with a
00:15:36
username and a password and this then
00:15:38
gives me access to my own files and data
00:15:44
okay so always just know the difference
00:15:47
between logging on and booting up to
00:15:52
totally different
00:15:54
things and then we have our desktop so
00:15:57
for those not famili familiar with this
00:15:59
this is really the first look at a uh
00:16:02
Windows desktop this is and sometimes
00:16:05
this is the question that comes up what
00:16:07
is the first screen that you see after
00:16:10
you log on or log in um and that is your
00:16:14
desktop you can see that we also have
00:16:17
icons on our desktop we've got a start
00:16:20
button um Windows 10 Windows 11 a lot of
00:16:24
them use this layout you can change it
00:16:27
but these are not known as your tiles
00:16:30
you've also got a quick launch taskbar
00:16:32
which is customizable so you can pop in
00:16:35
the programs that you use quite often um
00:16:39
and you can then just click on that and
00:16:41
it'll open that particular program and
00:16:43
then on the right hand side this is
00:16:46
where we have our notification area so
00:16:49
let's just go into some detail
00:16:50
again as we look at the taskbar now
00:16:53
remember the taskbar is this bottom
00:16:55
section
00:16:56
right so what we want to see here again
00:17:00
from the left far left will always be
00:17:02
your start button then like I said
00:17:04
you've got your quick launch icons and
00:17:06
this is customizable this whole bar down
00:17:10
here is our taskar right this area is
00:17:15
just a quick launch area or our quick
00:17:18
launch taskbar area and this section of
00:17:21
the taskbar is our notification area and
00:17:24
then all the way over to the right hand
00:17:27
side we have our date and time um and
00:17:31
well in this case they just mention in
00:17:33
the clock but you can see we've got the
00:17:34
date as well okay now we can use the
00:17:40
start menu to do many common things and
00:17:43
I'm and I'm taking you through this so
00:17:44
we just have the basics um in place we
00:17:48
can start programs we can open commonly
00:17:51
used files we can search for files um we
00:17:54
can log off we can switch off the
00:17:57
computer uh there are a number of things
00:17:59
you can see when this one was opened it
00:18:01
gives us all of this it shows us the
00:18:02
various programs here as well um so we
00:18:05
can do all of those things now when we
00:18:08
open up a normal um let's say folder or
00:18:11
window we end up getting
00:18:14
this and in this case this person opened
00:18:17
up the
00:18:19
documents um folder and we can see this
00:18:24
details pane which shows us what is in
00:18:27
that particular folder
00:18:28
now this will be the same if I double
00:18:30
click on a folder on the desktop and it
00:18:32
opens up like this I'll have my details
00:18:35
section where I can see exactly what is
00:18:37
inside that folder on the left hand side
00:18:39
I've got my navigation pane so that will
00:18:41
tell me exactly where I am and I can use
00:18:44
this to move between different uh areas
00:18:48
of my PC as well then over here I've got
00:18:52
my toolbar so the toolbar is up there
00:18:55
and this displays buttons and menus for
00:18:58
commment commands things like printing
00:19:00
emailing creating a new folder Etc I've
00:19:03
also gotten the top left hand corner my
00:19:06
back and forward button so maybe I
00:19:08
opened this and I went into this
00:19:10
particular folder I can just click back
00:19:12
to go to the previous area I was in
00:19:15
whether that be a folder or wherever on
00:19:19
top I've got my address bar so this
00:19:21
displays the location of the folder
00:19:23
that's currently open and you can see
00:19:25
this one shows us that we are in the
00:19:27
library
00:19:29
section and inside that we are in the
00:19:31
documents folder so that we know exactly
00:19:33
where we are right we also have our
00:19:36
title bar here on top where we can click
00:19:39
on this and move the window um we've got
00:19:42
our minimize maximize and close buttons
00:19:44
and we've got our search box to search
00:19:47
for any items within the particular
00:19:50
folder that we have
00:19:53
open okay hope we still
00:19:55
together then we will always talk about
00:19:59
you know computers servers and users so
00:20:02
just so you understand a user is someone
00:20:05
who utilizes a computer or network
00:20:08
service they simply use the computer as
00:20:11
a tool to provide a service so if I want
00:20:14
to type out my assignment or if I want
00:20:16
to create a letter what am I doing I'm
00:20:18
going to be using the computer as a tool
00:20:21
in order to get that letter right so
00:20:26
please do not forget what a user is we
00:20:31
also need to understand each user using
00:20:33
a computer can be distinguished from one
00:20:36
another how because they have their own
00:20:40
user profile so when you log into a
00:20:43
computer you log in with your username
00:20:45
and password you'll have certain
00:20:46
shortcuts you'll have certain folders
00:20:48
based on what you did on that PC things
00:20:51
you've saved things you've moved around
00:20:54
Etc when somebody else logs into that
00:20:57
it's going to be be set up for their
00:20:59
particular profile based on what they
00:21:02
have done on that computer now in a
00:21:05
Windows envirment a user profile is a
00:21:08
record of as I mentioned user specific
00:21:12
data right user specific data that
00:21:16
defines a user's working environment so
00:21:18
two people can log on to the same
00:21:20
machine at different times and they
00:21:22
might have different backgrounds they
00:21:23
might have um different folder
00:21:26
structures based on the specific data so
00:21:30
the users the person using it but the
00:21:32
way they've customized how they use the
00:21:34
PC within windows that is going to be
00:21:36
the user profile okay now in order for
00:21:40
us to log in we we use passwords and
00:21:43
this is something that I know many
00:21:46
people have a tough time with because we
00:21:49
have so many things that we log
00:21:51
into what happens with passwords we
00:21:54
often forget them right now
00:21:58
that is normal so what do we do to
00:22:01
actually count it that we create one
00:22:03
password that will remember and we use
00:22:05
it on all of devices that is not right
00:22:10
okay I know I'm guilty of that myself
00:22:12
but that is actually not right your your
00:22:15
username and your password authenticates
00:22:17
you as a valid user on that particular
00:22:20
um laptop desktop on your phone those
00:22:24
type of things now when it comes to pass
00:22:28
words we need to Bear the following in
00:22:31
mind we should be changing them
00:22:34
regularly they should consist of um
00:22:38
numbers and letters there should be some
00:22:40
uppercase and lower case like here for
00:22:42
example um you can see lowercase in
00:22:45
other words small letters uppercase
00:22:48
capitals um it should be a minimum of
00:22:50
six but no more than
00:22:52
30 and the same character cannot be used
00:22:55
consecutively for example flaw so we've
00:22:58
got the two o's there um but I know as
00:23:01
as as much as I say these things it is
00:23:05
difficult to remember all of these
00:23:07
passwords if you are having a different
00:23:09
password for everything you log
00:23:11
into and you're changing them every
00:23:15
month okay so but this is what we should
00:23:18
be doing this is also a typical test
00:23:21
question and exam question all the way
00:23:23
through from grade 10 to grade 12
00:23:26
looking at um what is some of the
00:23:28
recommendations for having a strong
00:23:33
password this is what you will
00:23:36
use right now the one thing that Windows
00:23:39
does is it gives us what's known as a
00:23:42
graphical user interface this means the
00:23:45
way we work with Windows is through
00:23:48
Graphics right now we are able to use a
00:23:54
mouse that Mouse allows us to click and
00:23:57
double click and right click and drag
00:24:00
and
00:24:00
scroll so while we are working with
00:24:04
these icons you know like your folders
00:24:07
and your uh little icons for files and
00:24:09
things we can use the mouse then to
00:24:12
click on those things double click right
00:24:14
click drag
00:24:16
Etc now when it comes to Windows there
00:24:19
are some common features of programs so
00:24:24
you know that within cat we work a lot
00:24:27
with Microsoft Office now Microsoft
00:24:30
Office consists of word excel PowerPoint
00:24:32
and and access those are the main four
00:24:36
that we end up working with but have a
00:24:38
look at this if you look at this this is
00:24:41
an Excel spreadsheet that is a Word
00:24:44
document this is Microsoft Paint and
00:24:48
what do we see do all of them have a
00:24:50
title bar yes do all of them show us the
00:24:53
active window yes do we have a taskbar
00:24:57
do we are we able to resize or move a
00:25:00
window right we we've got all these
00:25:03
things there's minimize maximize close
00:25:05
I've got it through all those windows
00:25:06
I've got the title bar over there um I
00:25:08
can move back and forward I can save do
00:25:11
you see that there are common features
00:25:14
within Windows through all of their
00:25:16
programs right they do this purposefully
00:25:20
so that it's easy for you to work with
00:25:24
the
00:25:26
software
00:25:28
okay then probably one of the most
00:25:31
important items is saving your work I
00:25:34
mean there's no point you do an entire
00:25:36
presentation or an entire um assignment
00:25:39
and you don't save it now the current
00:25:44
work that you are doing on a computer is
00:25:47
kept temporarily in memory and when we
00:25:51
go further into hardware and software
00:25:53
you'll understand more in terms of what
00:25:55
we are speaking about there
00:25:58
but to keep that work you have to save
00:26:01
it to some sort of permanent storage and
00:26:03
this is where we save our documents our
00:26:06
presentations whatever it is onto the
00:26:09
actual computer that we are working in
00:26:12
we
00:26:13
save these you know whether it's files
00:26:17
whatever we we we are busy with
00:26:18
presentations Etc and we try to organize
00:26:22
those files into
00:26:24
folders we also want to look at giving
00:26:27
our file and folders meaningful names I
00:26:30
mean let's say you did an assignment
00:26:33
on weather
00:26:35
patents and you save it as
00:26:40
Gio now when you forget where you put
00:26:42
the document and you do a search what
00:26:45
are you going to be searching for you're
00:26:46
going to be searching for weather
00:26:47
patterns but it's going to find nothing
00:26:50
because we haven't given it a meaningful
00:26:53
name okay so remember when we save our
00:26:56
work what we are currently working on
00:26:57
before we save it that sits in memory
00:27:00
then we save it to storage so that it's
00:27:02
there
00:27:03
permanently and we then save those files
00:27:07
into folders and we make sure that our
00:27:09
files and folders have meaningful names
00:27:13
now I'm sure you've heard of um computer
00:27:18
keyboards being a quiry keyboard I know
00:27:21
when some of the the first cell phones
00:27:23
that had like full keyboards on them I
00:27:25
think the old blackberries were one of
00:27:26
the first
00:27:28
um they always mentioned that they had
00:27:29
quy keyboards now that is just a
00:27:33
reference to the fact that it's a full
00:27:35
keyboard number one but it's in
00:27:38
reference to the first six letters that
00:27:42
we see on the top row of our keyboard
00:27:45
that's that's really what they're
00:27:46
talking about and a keyboard is used
00:27:48
there to do what to input data right
00:27:53
when we input data into our
00:27:56
smartphone there we see see and this is
00:27:58
probably one of the worst features when
00:27:59
it comes to smartphones is that your
00:28:01
keyboard is
00:28:02
displayed um by software on the screen
00:28:05
it takes up half of your screen but it
00:28:07
can display letters alphabetically
00:28:09
rather than in a quity layout so you'll
00:28:11
see that layout is different to what our
00:28:15
traditional keyboard is like
00:28:19
okay now keyboard skills and I hope your
00:28:22
teachers are going to be going through
00:28:24
this with you um ideally when you type
00:28:27
out on a keyboard and I'm talking about
00:28:30
a physical keyboard that you have um
00:28:33
with your laptop
00:28:35
desktop uh if you're going to be using a
00:28:37
USB or wireless keyboard the this is
00:28:40
really where your fingers should be so
00:28:43
from your left hand little pinky it
00:28:45
should be on a s DF your thumbs are on
00:28:49
the space bar then we continue with your
00:28:51
right index which is on J then K then L
00:28:57
and and then our semicolon now you might
00:28:59
be asking okay but sir why do we find
00:29:04
three letters the the idea is when you
00:29:07
are comfortable with this you should be
00:29:11
able to use your little finger on the
00:29:14
left hand just as an example you should
00:29:17
be able to use it not just for a but to
00:29:20
go to q and
00:29:23
z are you with me let's let's let's take
00:29:26
another one
00:29:29
um let's use our index on the left hand
00:29:33
side do you see that your index should
00:29:35
be able to while you're starting on if
00:29:38
you should be able to reach r v g t and
00:29:44
B okay and this is why when you start
00:29:47
practicing this and you get this right
00:29:50
you will be able to type on a keyboard
00:29:52
without even looking at
00:29:55
it right and so attend that brings us to
00:29:58
the end of our first module we looked at
00:30:00
what is a computer the introduction to
00:30:02
Windows saving our work and also an
00:30:06
introduction to our
00:30:13
keyboard
