4. Discussion
A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control
of instructions stored in its own memory, that can accept data,
process data according to specified rules, produce results, and
stores the results for future use. It consists of several
peripheral that are tangible in nature known as hardware. These
components include input & output devices, a system unit,
storage devices, and communication devices. The figure below shows
a standard component of the computer hardware.
Figure 1.1 Computer Hardware Components
INPUT DEVICES Any hardware component that allows you to enter
data and instruction to the computer
The mouse allows control of movement of a symbol on a
screen.
A computer keyboard contains keys you press to enter data into
the computer
A Web cam is a digital video camera that allows users to create
movies or take pictures and store them on the computer instead of
on tape or film.
A microphone allows a user to speak into the computer.
A scanner converts printed material (such as text and pictures)
into a form the computer can use.
OUTPUT DEVICES- Any hardware component that conveys information
to one or more people.

4. Discussion
An operating system is a set of programs that coordinates all
the activities among computer hardware devices. It provides a means
for users to communicate with the computer and other software. Many
of todays computers use Microsofts Windows, or Mac OS, Apples
operating system. When a user starts a computer, portions of the
operating system are copied into memory from the computers hard
disk. These parts of the operating system remain in memory while
the computer is on.
A utility program allows a user to perform maintenance-type
tasks usually related to managing a computer, its devices, or its
programs. For example, you can use a utility program to transfer
digital photos to an optical disc. Most operating systems include
several utility programs for managing disk drives, printers, and
other devices and media. You also can buy utility programs that
allow you to perform additional computer management functions.
Application 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 communications is a
Web browser, which allows users with an Internet connection to
access and view Web pages or access programs. Other popular
application software includes word processing software, spreadsheet
software, database software, and presentation software.
Installing and Running ProgramsWhen purchasing software from a
retailer, you typically receive a box that includes an optical
disc(s) that contains the program. If you acquire software from a
Web site on the Internet, you may be able to download the program;
that is, the program transfers from the Web site to the hard disk
in your computer.

3. Requirement/s:
System Unit Microsoft Office Suite ( Word 2007)
4. Discussion
Microsoft Word is a proprietary word processor designed by
Microsoft. It was first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool
Word for Xenix systems.
Subsequent versions were later written for several other
platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), the Apple Macintosh
(1984), the AT&T Unix PC (1985), Atari ST (1986), SCO UNIX,
OS/2, and Microsoft Windows (1989).
It is a component of the Microsoft Office software system; it is
also sold as a standalone product and included in Microsoft Works
Suite. The current versions are Microsoft Office Word 2010 for
Windows and Microsoft Office Word 2011 for Mac.
MS Word contains rudimentary desktop publishing capabilities and
is the most widely used word processing program on the market.
Word files are commonly used as the format for sending text
documents via e-mail because almost every user with a computer can
read a Word document by using the Word application, a Word viewer
or a word processor that imports the Word format.

have not been saved, a prompt appears asking you if you want to
save the document.b. To save any open document(s), clickYESTo close
without saving, clickNOTo continue working, clickCANCEL
5.Proceduress
STEP 1: Creating documents using shortcut keysEveryone knows
that fast and efficient typists rarely let their fingers leave the
keyboard. Having to lift your hand to find the mouse, then point
and click at an icon, only slows down typing speed. Becoming adept
at using control key shortcuts will not only save time but will
increase your knowledge of the power of your word processor. In
this activity, you will practice using shortcuts for common editing
tasks in Word.a. Create a NEW document in Word. b. Insert a header
Name Shortcut Keys Date c. Starting on the first line of the
document, type responses to the statements provided below: Type one
answer per line. Do NOT type the statements or preceding letters.
Your first and last name Your nickname Your parents or guardians
names. Your birth date. A career that interests you. One sentence
explaining why you chose the career in 3e above. Your best friends
name. Your grade level preceded by the word Grade. Example: Grade 6
Two of your hobbies (separated by the word and). d. Carefully
proofread the document for spelling, grammar, and accuracy. e. Save
the document as BIO to your computer folder.f. Select the
appropriate text and make the following changes using shortcut keys
only: Bold your name. Italicize your nickname. Bold and italicize
your parents or guardians names Underline your birth date. Decrease
the font size of the career that interests you by 2 points.
Increase the font size of the sentence explaining your career
choice to 24 points. Center align your best friends name. Right
align your grade level. Copy your hobbies and paste them two times
at the end of this list (on separate lines). Cut the sentence
explaining what you hope to learn in this class and paste below
your first and last name. g. Carefully proofread the document for
spelling, grammar, and accuracy. h. Save your document.
STEP 2. Creating, Saving & Retrieving Documents. With
programs like Microsoft Word, an entire document does not have to
be re-created in order to make a copy with minor changes. The
following activity illustrates how a Word document can be saved
using one file name, editing that file, and saving it with a new
file name.
a. Create a NEW Word document. The font should be 11 point
Calibri. b. Starting on the first line of the document, type your
first and last name, then hit ENTER. c. Type the name of your
favorite snack food, then hit ENTER. d. Type the name of your
favorite pizza topping, then hit ENTER. e. Type the name of your
favorite movie, then hit ENTER. f. Type the name of your favorite
song, then hit ENTER. g. Type the name of your favorite TV show,
then hit ENTER. h. Carefully proofread the document for spelling,
grammar, and accuracy. i. Save the document as LIKES to your
Computer 6 folder. j. Close the file, saving changes upon exiting.
k. Open the document LIKES from your Computer 6 folder. l. Change
your favorite snack food to your least favorite snack food. m.
Change your favorite pizza topping to your least favorite pizza
topping. n. Change your favorite movie to your least favorite
movie. o. Change your favorite song to your least favorite song. p.
Change your favorite TV show to your least favorite TV show. q.
Insert a Header Name Dislikes Date r. Insert a Footer Page Number
s. Insert a page break after your least favorite TV Show. CTRL +
ENTER or Insert Tab, Pages Group, Page Break t. Save the
document.
STEP 3. Adding Bullets and Editing ParagraphsWhether you are
creating a to-do list for yourself or typing an outline for a
school project, adding bullets or numbering to the list can be
helpful. A list is much easier to read if each item is separated by
a bullet or a number. Word allows you to easily add customized
bullets and numbers so that you can enhance the look of any list in
a document. In this activity, you will insert bullets and numbering
into a Top 5 Vacation Destinations list.
a. Create a NEW blank document in Word. b. Insert a header: Name
Vacation Date c. Set spacing after to 0 pt and line spacing to
single. d. Starting on the first line of the document, type the
text shown below. Leave one space between the title and the list as
shown. Also press enter after the last word Nevada to begin a new
line. Top 5 Vacation DestinationsCaribbeanFranceRome,
ItalyHawaiiLas Vegas, Nevadae. Select the title Top 5 Vacation
Destinations and format to Arial, 16 point, and bold. f. Select the
remaining text and format to Arial, 12 point. g. Turn on the
Show/Hide codes to view paragraph marks and other hidden formatting
symbols in your document. h. Select all the text and copy and paste
it three times on your page. This will give you a total of four
duplicate Top 5 Vacation Destinations on your page. See Figure 4-1
as a guide. i. Separate each of the lists with three blank lines
(ENTER) as shown in Figure 4-1. j. Select only the list portion of
the second Top 5 Vacation Destinations (beginning with the word
Caribbean and ending with Nevada). Format it
k. Select only the list portion of the third Top 5 Vacation
Destinations and format it as a bulleted list using the bullets
feature. Use the standard bullet style (). Decrease indent. See
Figure 4-1. l. Select only the list portion of the fourth Top 5
Vacation Destinations and format it as a bulleted list using the
bullets feature. Use a bullet style of your choice. Decrease
indent. See Figure 4-1. m. Carefully proofread the document for
spelling, grammar, and accuracy. n. Save the document as VACATION
to your Computer 6 folder. o. Print the document if required by
your instructor.

3. Requirement/s:
System Unit Microsoft Office Suite ( PowerPoint 2007)
4. Discussion:
The term "PowerPoint presentation" was coined when Microsoft
introduced its software program PowerPoint. PowerPoint is commonly
used by presenters as a digital aid when presenting their topic to
an audience. Microsoft has called this type of software a
"presentation", which is a misnomer. Many presenters often forget
that they are the presentation that the audience came to see, not
their PowerPoint presentation. PowerPoint presentations consist of
a number of individual pages or "slides". The "slide" analogy is a
reference to the slide projector. A better analogy would be the
"foils" (or transparencies/plastic sheets) that are shown with an
overhead projector, although they are in decline now. Slides may
contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may
be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live
on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the
presenter. For larger audiences the computer display is often
projected using a video projector. Slides can also form the basis
of web casts.PowerPoint provides three types of movements:a.
Entrance, emphasis, and exit of elements on a slide itself are
controlled by what PowerPoint calls Custom Animations.b.
Transitions, on the other hand, are movements between slides. These
can be animated in a variety of ways.c. Custom animation can be
used to create small story boards by animating pictures to enter,
exit or move.STEP 1: Creating a New presentationsa. Click
theMicrosoft Office Button, and chooseNewfrom the menu.b. Click
inside theplaceholder. The placeholder text will disappear, and
theinsertion pointwill appear.c. Type your text once the insertion
point is visible.d. Clickoutside the placeholderwhen you have
entered all of your text into the placeholder.e. When you enter
text or use the icons to insert items, the placeholder text and/or
icons disappear as soon as you start typing.f. Click theNew
Slidecommand in theSlidesgroup on the Home tab. A menu will appear
with your slide layout options.
g. Click the slide you want to insert. A new slide with the
chosen layout will appear in the center of the PowerPoint window
and in the pane on the left.h. Select the slide you wish to
change.i. Click theLayoutcommand in theSlidesgroup on the Home tab.
A menu appears with your options.j. Click an option to select it.

On Slide 1 type the title: PowerPoint Practice Type the
subtitle: Your Name Step 2: Inserting a New Slide Use one of these
options: New Slide on the Formatting Toolbar Insert on Menu Bar,
New Slide to create a New Slide Insert on Menu Bar, Duplicate Slide
if you want the same slide again and then make changes to it.
Insert two new slides. Step 3: Changing the Layout a) The Layout
options will appear in the Task Pane on the right hand side of the
screen. b) If you do not see the Task Pane, click View, Task Pane
c) You can also change the Layout with Format, Slide Layout d)
Under Text and Content choose Title, Text and Content e) On Slide 2
type the title: My Family f) On the Left Hand Text Bullets type:
Each member of your family then tab in below each of their names
and list their relationship to you and an interesting fact about
them. (Shift Tab moves to the left one bullet and Tab to the right
one bullet.)
Example: Malia : Daughter : Wants to travel Shayli : Daughter :
Likes sports
g) After you have typed all the text, you can select it and then
adjust the size by clicking on the Increase Font Size or Decrease
Font Size on the Formatting Toolbar. Usually the text size will
adjust automatically in PowerPoint if it is too big. h) On the
Right Hand Side select Insert Picture if you have a picture of your
family on your computer or choose Insert Clipart and find a picture
that represents something your family likes to do. Slide 3 you get
to be creative as you tell me about your favorite place to travel:
Choose a different Slide Layout depending upon what you want to
include on this slide (text, clipart, chart, pictures, table etc.)
Include at least two different items. Add an auto shape (found at
bottom of the screen) and change the color of the shape.
Step 4: Custom Animation a. Use the Help feature to learn about
custom animations. b. Click on Help, Microsoft PowerPoint Help c.
Type Custom Animations d. Choose Animate Text and Objects e. Read
the two options.
On Slide 3 do a variety of custom animations. Instead of having
to click on the mouse change the setting (on right hand side click
on the arrow) to start after previous.
Step 5: Transitions a) Use the Help feature to learn about
transitions. b) Click on Help, Microsoft PowerPoint Help c) Type
Transitions d) Choose Add Transitions Between Slides e) Read how to
add the same transition or different transitions.
f) Add a different transition for each slide.

Number System Conversion
Course Code: CPE001Program:
Course Title: Computer FundamentalsDate Performed:
Name:Date Submitted:
Section:Instructor:
1. Objective(s):
To define the four basic number system used in computer process,
and derive its importance
2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):
The students shall be able to:2.1 Familiarize in the four Number
System: binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal. 2.2 Apply
conversion on different number system.
3. Requirement(s:)
Number System Conversion process
4. Discussion
When humans are speaking to one another, they speak in a
particular language they understand. This language is made of words
and letters. Although we type words and letters in the computer,
the computer does not understand the words and letters. Rather,
those words and letters are translated into numbers. Computers talk
and understand in numbers. There are three most common number
systems that are frequently used in computers. These number systems
are: Binary, Decimal, and Hexadecimal. Octal is not the usual
number used in the computer, thus it may be used also by the
computer.
Table 1-1 Numbering Systems Summary
5. Procedures
STEP 1: Decimal to Other Base Systema. Divide the decimal number
to be converted by the value of the new base. b. Get the remainder
from Step 1 as the rightmost digit (least significant digit) of new
base number. c. c. Divide the quotient of the previous divide by
the new base. d. Record the remainder from Step 3 as the next digit
(to the left) of the new base number. Repeat Steps 3 and 4, getting
remainders from right to left, until the quotient becomes zero in
Step 3. The last remainder thus obtained will be the most
significant digit (MSD) of the new base number
Examples:
Decimal to Binary
Decimal to Octal
Decimal to Hexadecimal
STEP 2: Other base system to Decimal System a. Determine the
column (positional) value of each digit. b. Multiply the obtained
column values (in Step 1) by the digits in the corresponding
columns. c. Sum the products calculated in Step 2. The total is the
equivalent value in decimal.
Examples:Binary to Decimal
Octal to Decimal
Hexadecimal to Decimal
STEP 3: Binary to Octal a. Divide the binary digits into groups
of three (starting from the right). b. Convert each group of three
binary digits to one octal digit.Example:
STEP 4: Octal to Binarya. Convert each octal digit to a 3 digit
binary number b. Combine all the resulting binary groups (of 3
digits each) into a single binary number.Example:
STEP 5: Binary to Hexadecimal a. Divide the binary digits into
groups of four (starting from the right). b. Convert each group of
four binary digits to one hexadecimal symbol.Example:
STEP 6: Hexadecimal to Binary\ a. Convert each hexadecimal digit
to a 4 digit binary number. b. Combine all the resulting binary
groups (of 4 digits each) into a single binary number.Example:
STEP 7: Octal to Hexadecimal
a. Convert each octal digit to a 3 digit binary number (the
hexadecimal digits may be treated as b. Combine all the resulting
binary groups (of 3 digits each) into a single binary number. c.
Divide the binary digits into groups of four (starting from the
right).d. Convert each group of four binary digits to one
hexadecimal symbolExample:
STEP 8: Hexadecimal to Octal a. Convert each hexadecimal digit
to a 4 digit binary. b. Combine all the resulting binary groups (of
4 digits each) into a single binary number.c. Divide the binary
digits into groups of three (starting from the right).d. Convert
each group of three binary digits to one octal digit.Example:
