LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

TLE 7/8 EXPLORATORY (ICT - CHS)

I. Introduction:
Computers are everywhere: at work, at school, and at home. Mobile devices, such as
many cell phones, often are classified as computers. Computers are a primary means of local
and global communication for billions of people. Employees correspond with clients,
students with classmates and teachers, and family with friends and other family members.
Through computers, society has instant access to information from around the globe. Local
and national news, weather reports, sports scores, airline schedules, telephone directories,
maps and directions, job listings, credit reports, and countless forms of educational material
always are accessible. From the computer, you can make a telephone call, meet new friends,
share photos and videos, share opinions, shop, book flights, file taxes, take a course, receive
alerts, and automate your home. At school, teachers use computers to assist with classroom
instruction. Students use computers to complete assignments and research. Instead of
attending class on campus, some students take entire classes directly from their computer.
People also spend hours of leisure time using a computer. They play games, listen to music
or radio broadcasts, watch or compose videos and movies, read books and magazines, share
stories, research genealogy, retouch photos, and plan vacations.

II. Learning Competency:

IV. Discussion:
SOFTWARE – or programs, is a series of related instructions, organized for a common purpose, that
tells the computer what tasks to perform and how to perform them.

Applications software – consists of programs designed to make users more productive

and/or assist them with personal tasks. A widely used type of application software
related to communication is a web browser, which allows the users with Internet
connection to access and view web pages or access programs. Other types of
application software includes personal information management, note taking, project
management, accounting, document management, computer-aided design, desktop
publishing, paint/image editing, audio and video editing, multimedia authoring, Web
page authoring, personal finance, legal, tax preparation, home design/landscaping,
travel and mapping, education, reference, and entertainment (e.g. games or
simulations)
System software – consists of the program that control or maintain the operations of
the computer and its devices. System software serves as the interface between the
user, the application software, and the computer’s hardware. Two types of system
software are the operating system and the utility programs.
1. Operating System is a set of programs that coordinates all activities among
computer hardware devices. It provides a means for users for users to
communicate with the computer and other software.
2. Utility Programs allows a user to perform maintenance-type tasks usually
related to managing a computer, its programs.
