Unit 3: ICT Skills Class 9 Notes | Employability Skills

Session 1: Introduction to ICT

To store Data we use many methods like writing on paper, recording or we can type the content
in digital format. All these are used to store data. Some data are stored in digital format in
mobiles, computers or any other digital devices, these devices are called ICT(information and
communication technology) devices. In this section, we will read about the functioning of some
devices which we use in daily life.

ICT at Workplace

ICT is a very important part of the workplace. Almost all the sectors of the economy use ICT to
store information and for the transaction of money. Nowadays all the information is being
digitalised as it is very easy to send to many people in a very little time.

At the workplace, we use different programs to complete our tasks like in banking we use ICT
for maintaining records of people and for the transaction of money. In the same manner, we use
computers for editing videos, booking tickets, animating, recording, storing data etc.

ICT at Home

ICT has also become a part of our home appliances. These days Television is very common in
every house for entertainment and Mobile for calling. Now mobile is also used for online classes.
Smartphones with internet connections are very helpful to stay connected with our friends,
family through Facebook, Instagram etc.

Here are some examples of ICT uses in different sectors

Agriculture: Activities related to research and development
Beauty and Wellness: Use for Training programmes
Banking and Finance: Storing data and for the secure transaction of money
Health Care: Research and development of health facilities

Session 2: ICT Tools: Smartphones and Tablets - I

Smartphone: Once the mobile phone was only used for talking but nowadays smartphones came
into existence. With smartphones we can purchase things online, we can play games, watch
movies, and make a video call, book a ticket and many more things. Android, IOS and Windows
are some common operating systems of smartphones.

Tablet: Tablet is also like a smartphone. It has a wider screen. Some activities like reading and
watching movies need a wider screen so we use tablets. It can do almost all the things that a
computer does.

TV and Radio: TV and Radio are used as ICT tools for a long time. Radio is used to broadcast
only sound. TV is used to broadcast both sound and video. It is the easiest way to reach a large
number of people at a time.

Applications or apps: Apps are just like a program on the computer. Different apps have
different functions. Some apps are already present on phones or tablets. There are many apps
present in an online stores like google play store and Apple App Store. We can purchase or
download it free of cost.

Output Devices

Output Devices are used to get the output of the task done on the computer. First of All, we input
some data and then it goes into processing after all we get the final result.

We get output from these devices: Monitor, Printer, Plotter, Speaker, Headphone, Projector,
Speach Synthesizer

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

It is the part of the computer which carries out all the tasks. It mainly processes the input data
and gives the output data.

ALU: Arithmetic and Logic Unit carries out all logical and arithmetic tasks like addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division, <,>,= etc.
Control Unit (CU): It mainly coordinates with input and output devices.

Motherboard
A motherboard also referred to as a system board, is the main circuit board inside a computer. It
connects input, processing and output devices.

Computer Memory
It is a storage area where all the data is stored.

Primary Memory
RAM: Random Access Memory is an internal memory that is volatile means no data is saved in
RAM. Only tasks are carried out in this memory.

ROM: Read Only Memory stores all the data. It is non Volatile that means once data is saved it
remains there until you delete it.

Secondary Memory
It is an external device to store data. Example: Pendrives, CDs, External Hard Disk Drive,
Memory Card etc.

Key Concepts
• 8 bits make a byte
• 1024 bytes make a kilobyte(KB).
• 1024 KB make 1 megabyte (MB)
• 1024 megabyte make 1 gigabyte (GB)
• 1024 gigabytes make 1 terabyte (TB)

Ports and connections

The slots in which we connect a mouse, keyboard, pen drive, internet etc.

USB: Universal Serial Bus Port used to connect a mouse, keyboard pen drives
Display Port: It connects video devices like Monitor and Projector
Audio Ports: It is used to connect audio devices like Mic, Speakers
Ethernet Port: It connects to high-speed internet
Power Port: It is used to connect the power supply.

Session 5: Basic Computer Operations

Computer hardware: The physical part of a computer which we can touch like monitor, CPU,
UPS, keyboard, Mouse etc are the hardware of the computer.

Software: The part that we cannot see or touch like programmes on a computer. The software
makes hardware work or interacts with humans. The most important software is OS (Operating
System). It starts working as soon as we start the computer. Example: Windows, Ubuntu, Linux
etc.

Starting a computer
To start a computer, press the Power button on the CPU. This will start the Windows operating
system and display the Windows desktop on the monitor.

Basic functions performed when a computer starts

When we start the computer, it runs automatically a basic program BIOS which self tests. If
everything is ok then it runs OS and finally, the computer starts.

Login and logout

When multiple users use the same computer and want to secure their data separately then they
can create login IDs. each one has a different password to start the computer and after
completing the task logout is done.

Shutting down a computer

It is a process to turn off the computer. To shut down the computer in Ubuntu by clicking
“Systems” at the top right and then click on Shut Down. In windows, we can click Alt+F4 to
shut down the computer.

Files and folders

File: All information are kept in files. Files have names and extensions. Different files have
different extensions to identify the file types. Ex- .txt for text document, .jpeg for image, .avi for
video etc

Folder: It is a location where a group of files can be stored. We can create a no. of folders inside
the folder. A folder within folded is called a subfolder.

Session 7: Communication and Networking — Basics of Internet

Internet is a huge network of computers around the world. World Wide Web (WWW) is a
collection of all websites we visit on the internet.

Uses Of Internet
• Search information
• Shopping
• Online booking

Connecting to the Internet

An Internet Service Provider (ISP)─i.e., the telephone company which provides Internet
connectivity using the phone lines or a wireless network.

Types of connections
(a) Wired connections: When the internet is connected through a wired medium like ethernet
cable.
(b) Wireless connection: When the internet is connected through a wireless medium like Wifi.

Bandwidth: The amount of data transferred in a certain amount of time. In analogue devices, the
bandwidth is expressed in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz). Data transferred digitally is
measured by bits per second (bps)

1 Kbps (kilobits per second) = 1000 bits per second

1 Mbps (megabits per second) = 1000 kilo bits per second
1 Gbps (gigabits per second) = 1,000 mega bits per second

Internet browser: The application software is used to visit websites. Example -Chrome, Firefox

Session 8: Communication and Networking — Internet Browsing

World Wide Web (WWW)

It is a vast network of files stored in computers all over the world.It is made up of

1. Web Page: A web page is a document present on a computer that is connected to the internet
each webpage has a unique address like https://www.crackmycbse.com.
2. Web browser: Application software to use the information available on the Internet. Ex-
Chrome, Opera, Firefox

3. Hyperlinks: Highlighted words on a webpage. If you click on that it will redirect you to
another page.

Important parts of a web browser

(i) Address bar: To type the address of the webpage

(ii) Tabbed browsing (Ctrl+T): It is used to view multiple web pages in the same window
(iii) Back and forward buttons: Used to get back or next page
(iv) Refresh button (F5): To refresh the page

Session 9: Communication and Networking — Introduction to e-Mail

Electronic Mail (E-mail) is a quick way to send messages to people using the internet. We can
send videos, documents, spreadsheets, etc., along with the e-mail as attachments.

E-mail ID or Address
The e-mail address is made up of two parts separated by the @ symbol.
Ex- [email protected], crackmycbse is the name given by the user and gmail.com
domain which provides mail service.

Advantages of e-mail
1. Delivery of mail is very fast.
