LESSON 2 WEB BROWSERS


Objectives

• Demonstrate understanding of surfing the net


• Create and organizing a bookmark
• Uploading and downloading files from the Internet
Learning Content

A web browser is an interface that helps a computer user gain access to all the content
that is on the Internet and the hard disk of the computer. It can view images, text documents,
audio and video files, games, etc. When the browser is used for browsing web pages, the pages
may contain certain links which can be opened in a new browser. Multiple tabs and windows of
the same browser can also be opened. One of the leading web browsers is Google Chrome.
Google Chrome is an open source program released in 2008 for accessing the World
Wide Web and running Web-based applications.

A. Using a Web Browser and Search Engine


Each website has a unique address called a Uniform Resource Locator or URL that tells
your browser where to go on the Internet. To go to a website, do the following steps.
1. Open your browser. For this discussion, you will use Google Chrome.
2. In the address bar, type the website address. For
example, type in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page then press Enter.
3. After pressing Enter, the browser will bring you to the main page of Wikipedia. As you
browse the website, you will see an image, word or phrase that is underlined or has a different
color from the rest of the text.
An image, word, or phrase that you can click to access another document or page is called a
hyperlink. A hyperlink or simply link is used to explore the web. When you click a link, it will
take you to a different webpage.
Look at the buttons on the upper left side of your browser. The Back and Forward
buttons in your browser allow you to move through websites you have recently viewed.

The Refresh button reloads the


current page. You use this button if a
website stops working or is loading too slowly.

Most browsers allow you to open links in a new tab. Opening links in a new tab allows you to
stay in the same browser window while you explore other web pages. This helps avoid cluttering your
screen with multiple windows. To open a link in a new tab, right click and select Open link in new tab.

To close the tab, click the X on the right of a t ab.

To create a new blank tab, click the button on the right of any open tabs.

B. Creating and Organizing a Bookmark

With bookmark, you can retrieve a website that is of interest or benefit to you. You can use the
bookmark feature of a browser to locate a web page easily.
To bookmark the current web page displayed on your browser, locate the star icon on the right
of the address bar and click it. Noticed that the star icon has turned blue. Click Done to save it.

Your browser will also keep a history of every site you visit. This is one way of going back to
sites that you have previously visited. To view your browser history, click Settings. It is the
three-dot icon on the upper-right corner next to the address bar. Click History to view the sites.

HANDS – ON ACTIVITY
Browse Wikipedia
1.Open your browser and go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines
2. Scroll down to Content.
3. In the table below, list down the six guidelines presented about posting on Wikipedia. Then

C. Uploading and Downloading Files from the Internet


You've probably heard the terms "upload" and "download" many times, but what do
these terms actually mean? What does it mean to upload a file to a website or download
something from the web? What's the difference between a download and an upload?
Upload
In the context of the web, upload = send. You can think of it like loading the data
"upward" to the cloud/internet.
When you upload something to a website, another user's computer, a network location,
etc., you're sending data from your device to the other device. Files can be uploaded to a server,
such as a website, or directly to another device, like when using a P2P transfer utility.

For example, if
you upload an image to
Facebook, you're
sending the picture from
your device to the
Facebook website. The
file started with you and
ended up somewhere
else, so it's considered
an upload.
This is true for
any transfer like this, no
matter the file type. You can upload documents to your teacher via email, upload a video
to YouTube, upload music to your online music collection, etc.
Download
In opposition to upload, download = save. You're taking data from elsewhere and
putting it onto your device, essentially bringing it "down" from the internet.
Downloading something from the web means that you're transferring data from the other
location to your own device, whether it be your phone, computer, tablet, smartwatch, etc.
All sorts of information can be downloaded from the web: books, movies, software, etc.
For example, you can download movies to your phone to watch while you're on the go, which
means that the actual data that makes up the movie is transferred from the site you got it from
and saved to your phone, making it locally available.

Photo editing is the processes of altering images, whether they are digital photographs,
traditional analog photographs, or illustrations.
Graphic software programs, which can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors,
raster graphics editors and 3D modelers, are the primary tools with which a user may
manipulate, enhance and transform images. Many image editing programs are also used to
render or create computer art from scratch.

UNIT IV GETTING STARTED WITH GOOGLE SHEETS


LESSON 1 GOOGLE SHEETS
OBJECTIVES
 Create a Spreadsheet and Fill It With Data
 Add, Average, and Filter Data with Formulas
 Share, Protect, and Move Your Data

Google Sheets is a spreadsheet program included as part of the free, web-based Google Docs
office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service. The app is compatible with
Microsoft Excel file formats. The app allows users to create and edit files online while
collaborating with other users in real-time. It looks and functions much like any other
spreadsheet tool, but because it’s an online app, it offers much more than most spreadsheet tools.
Here are some of the things that make it so much better:
• It’s a web-based spreadsheet that you can use anywhere—no more forgetting your
spreadsheet files at home.
• It works from any device, with mobile apps for iOS and Android along with its web-based
core app.
• Google Sheets is free, and it’s bundled with Google Drive, Docs, and Slides to share files,
documents, and presentations online.
• It includes almost all of the same spreadsheet functions—if you know how to use Excel,
you’ll feel at home in Google Sheets.
• You can download add-ons, create your own, and write custom code.
• It’s online, so you can gather data with your spreadsheet automatically
and do almost anything you want, even when your spreadsheet isn’t open.

Common Spreadsheet Terms

• Cell: A single data point or


element in
a spreadsheet.

• Column: A vertical set of cells.

• Row: A horizontal set of cells.


• Range: A selection of cells
extending across a row,
column, or both.

• Function: A built-in operation


from the spreadsheet app,
which can be used to
calculate cell, row, column,
or range values, manipulate
data, and more.

• Formula: The combination of functions, cells, rows, columns, and ranges used
to obtain a specific result.

• Worksheet (Sheet): The named sets of


rows and columns making up your
spreadsheet; one spreadsheet can
have multiple sheets
• Spreadsheet: The entire document
containing your worksheets

Create a Spreadsheet and Fill It With Data


1. Click the red “NEW” button on your your Google Drive dashboard and select “Google Sheets”
2. Open the menu from within a spreadsheet and select “File > New Spreadsheet”
3. Click “Blank” or select a template on the Google Sheets homepage
As soon as you open a new spreadsheet, if you just start typing you’ll see that your data starts
populating the selected cell immediately—usually the top left cell. There’s no need to double click cells
when you add information, and not much need to use your mouse.
Feel free to select any cell you’d like, then go ahead and type something in. When you’re done
entering data into a cell, you can do one of 4 things:
1. Press ENTER to save the data and move to the beginning of the next row
2. Press TAB to save the data and move to the right in the same row
3. Use the ARROW KEYS on your keyboard (up, down, left, and right) to move 1 cell in that direction
4. Click any cell to jump directly to that cell.
If you don’t want to type in everything manually, you can also add data to your Sheet via a few
different methods:
1. Copy and paste a list of text or numbers into your spreadsheet
2. Copy and paste an HTML table from a website
3. Import an existing spreadsheet in csv, xls, xlsx and other formats
4. Copy any value in a cell across a range of cells via a click and drag

Add, Average, and Filter Data with Formulas


Google Sheets, like most spreadsheet apps, has a bunch of built-in formulas for accomplishing a
number of statistical and data manipulation tasks. You can also combine formulas to create more
powerful calculations and string tasks together. And if you’re already accustomed to crunching numbers
in Excel, the exact same formulas work in Google Sheets most of the time.

You can click a formula to add it to a cell, or you can start typing any formula with a =
sign in a cell followedby the formula’s name. Sheets will auto-fill or suggest formulas based on
what you type, so you don’t need to remember every formula.
The most basic formulas in Sheets include:
• SUM: adds up a range cells (e.g. 1+2+3+4+5 = sum of 15)
• AVERAGE: finds the average of a range of cells (e.g. 1,2,3,4,5 = average of 3)
• COUNT: counts the values in a range of cells (ex: 1,blank,3,4,5 = 4 total cells
with values)
• MAX: finds the highest value in a range of cells (ex: 1,2,3,4,5 = 5 is the highest)
• MIN: finds the lowest value in a range of cells (ex: 1,2,3,4,5 = 1 is the lowest)
• Basic Arithmetic: You can also perform functions like addition, subtraction,
and multiplication directly in a cell without calling a formula
Using the SUM Formula
Let’s start with adding up the total number of ingredients required for each recipe. I’ll use
the SUM formulato add each value in the recipes and get a total amount.
There are three ways to use the basic formulas accessible via the top navigation:
1. Select a range then click the formula (this will put the result either below or to
the side of the range).
2. Select the result cell (i.e. the cell where you want the result to appear), then
click on the formula you want to use from the toolbar. Finally, select the
range of cells to perform your operation on.
3. Type the formula into the result cell (don’t forget the = sign) then either
manually type a range or select the range
Using the AVERAGE formula
1. Highlight the range of values

2. Selecting the AVERAGE formula from the toolbar.

Share, Protect, and Move Your Data


1. Click either FILE > SHARE or use the blue “Share” button in the top right
2. Click “advanced”, then enter emails of who can view or edit your spreadsheet
3. Select any other privacy options and hit done
