Introduction
What is
ICT?
refers to the
technologies used
for processing and
communicating
information.
COMPUTE
A R
computer is an electronic
machine that helps us do many
tasks quickly. It can store
information, play games, solve
math problems, connect to the
internet, and even help us make
school projects. Just like our brain,
it follows instructions to do
different jobs.
Above is a picture of a computer with each of the main components. You
can see the desktop computer, flat-panel display, speakers, keyboard, and
mouse in the picture below.
HARDWAR
E
These are external and internal devices and equipment that
enable you to perform major functions such as input, output,
storage, communication, processing, and more.
The parts of the computer you can touch, like the keyboard,
mouse, monitor, and CPU.
SOFTWAR
E
Software consists of computer programs that instruct the execution
computer. Software also includes design documents and specifications
of a
In other words, it is the program or instruction that tells the computer what to do,
like Microsoft Word, games, or apps.
APPLICATIO
N
- In computing, an application, or
app for short, is a software
program designed to
help a computer user accomplish
a task.
A program we use on a computer
or phone to do specific tasks, like
playing games, typing reports, or
watching videos.

SOFTWARE TOOLS used:
0 Integrated Development Environment
1 (IDE)
An IDE is a special computer program that
helps people write and test code easily. It’s
like a complete toolbox for programmers.
It has everything in one place:
• A code editor (where you type your code)
• A debugger (to find and fix errors)
• A runner (to test your program)
Examples: Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA,
PyCharm, Eclipse, Xcode.
SOFTWARE TOOLS used:
02 CODE EDITORS
A code editor is a computer program where
you can write and edit code — like a
notebook for programmers!
It helps by:
• Showing different colors for keywords
(so code is easier to read)
• Giving suggestions as you type
(like auto-complete)
• Helping you spot errors
WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE OF
IDE and CODE EDITOR?
• A code editor is just for writing code.
• An IDE is a full toolset — it includes a code editor
plus tools to run and debug your program.
SOFTWARE TOOLS used:
03 Version Control
System
A VCS is a tool that helps you keep track of
changes in your code or project files.
Imagine you're writing a story on your
computer. A VCS:
• Saves different versions of your work
• Lets you go back to an earlier version if
you made a mistake
• Helps you and your classmates work on
the same project without messing up
each other's work
VCS EXAMPLE:
Let’s say you’re creating a simple computer
game. You:
• Start with a basic version
• Add new features over time
• Make a mistake and your game breaks
❗Without a VCS: You might lose your
progress
✅ With a VCS: You can go back to the last
working version and fix it easily
SOFTWARE TOOLS used:
04 Repository and Collaboration
Platform
A collaboration platform is a website
A repository (or "repo" for short) is or tool that helps people work together
like a special folder where you keep all on a coding project, even if they’re far
the files for your coding project. away from each other.
But it’s more than just a folder — it These platforms let you:
also keeps a history of all changes you • Share your repository online
make, like a time machine for your • Work on code with classmates or
project. teammates
• Comment, review, and suggest
changes
• Keep everything organized
Is REPO the same with VCS?
🔴 No, they are not the same — but they work together!
✅ What is a VCS? 📁 What is a Repository?
A repository is a place where your project is stored, along
VCS stands for Version Control with all the history that the VCS tracks.
System.
It’s a tool or software (like Git) that:
• Tracks changes to your code 🤝 Simple Example:
• Saves different versions Imagine you're writing a class journal:
• Lets you undo mistakes • ✍️ VCS = Notebook that records everything you write, erase,
• Helps with teamwork and change
• 📂 Repository = Folder where you keep your notebook, drafts,
and all your changes
Is REPO the same with VCS?
📌 In Short:
Feature VCS Repository
What it is A tool A place/folder
Role Tracks changes in code Stores code and change history
Example Git GitHub repository (e.g.
“MyGame”)
Do they work together?
✅ Yes! You use a VCS to manage a repository.
SOFTWARE TOOLS used:
05 Compilers and Interpreters
A compiler: An interpreter:
• Translates the code line by line,
• Translates the whole code into while the program is running
machine language at once • It stops right away if it finds a
• Then the computer runs the mistake
translated program ✅ Good for beginners
❌ Slower than a compiler
✅ Fast when running
❌ But you won’t see errors until after
the translation is done
SOFTWARE TOOLS used:
06 Debugger
A debugger is a tool that helps you
find and fix errors (called "bugs") in
your code.
Just like you might check your math
answers for mistakes, a debugger
checks your program to see what
went wrong and where.
In programming, a bug is a mistake or error in the code that causes
your program to crash, act weird, or not work as expected.
SOFTWARE TOOLS used:
07 Package Managers
A package manager is a smart helper
for programmers — it finds, installs,
and manages all the coding tools you
need, just like an app store does for
your phone.
A package manager:
• 📥 Downloads and installs code libraries or tools you need
• 🔁 Updates them to the latest version
• 🧹 Removes things you no longer need
• ✅ Checks for compatibility so your program works properly
SOFTWARE TOOLS used:
08 Build Automation Tool
Tools to automate the process of
compiling code, running tests, and
deploying applications.
When programmers work on big projects,
they need to:
• Combine files (called compiling)
• Check for errors
• Put everything in one final working folder
• Prepare the program for sharing or installing
A build automation tool can do all these steps with just one command!

ARTS
0 Digital Camera and Scanner
1
A digital camera is used to take pictures
or videos and save them on a computer.
A scanner is used to copy a picture or
paper and turn it into a file on the
computer.
Both are tools in ICT that help us put real
pictures or documents into the computer so
we can edit, save, or share them online.

02 Graphic Design Software
Graphic design software is a computer
program that helps you make and edit
pictures, posters, and other artworks. It is
used in visual arts to create colorful and
creative designs using shapes, text, and
images.

03 Tablets and Drawing Pads
Tablets and drawing pads are tools
that let you draw directly on a screen
or pad using a special pen. They help
artists and students create digital
drawings and designs more easily,
just like drawing on paper—but using
a computer.

03 3D Modeling Software
3D modeling software is a computer
program that helps you make shapes,
objects, or characters that look real
in 3D (three-dimensional). It is used
in visual arts to create models for
games, animations, or designs that
can be printed using a 3D printer.
