OPERATION
AND
KEYBOARDING
COMPUTER
A computer is an electronic device that manipulates
information, or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve, and
process data. You may already know that you can use a
computer to type documents, send email, play games, and
browse the Web. You can also use it to edit or create
spreadsheets, presentations, and even videos.
Hardware vs. software

• Hardware is any part of your


computer that has a physical
structure, such as the
keyboard or mouse. It also
includes all of the computer's
internal parts.
• Software is any set of
instructions that tells the
hardware what to do and how
to do it. Examples of software
include web browsers, games,
and word processors.
What are the different types of computers?

• When most people hear the word


computer, they think of a personal
computer such as a desktop or
laptop. However, computers come
in many shapes and sizes, and they
perform many different functions
in our daily lives. When you
withdraw cash from an ATM, scan
groceries at the store, or use a
calculator, you're using a type of
computer.
Desktop computers
• Many people use desktop computers
at work, home, and school. Desktop
computers are designed to be placed
on a desk, and they're typically made
up of a few different parts, including
the computer case, monitor,
keyboard, and mouse.
Laptop computers
• The second type of computer you
may be familiar with is a laptop
computer, commonly called a laptop.
Laptops are battery-powered
computers that are more portable than
desktops, allowing you to use them
almost anywhere.
Tablet computers
• Tablet computers—or tablets—are
handheld computers that are even
more portable than laptops. Instead of
a keyboard and mouse, tablets use a
touch-sensitive screen for typing and
navigation. The iPad is an example of
a tablet.
Servers
• A server is a computer that serves up
information to other computers on a
network. For example, whenever you
use the Internet, you're looking at
something that's stored on a server.
Many businesses also use local file
servers to store and share files
internally.
Other types of computers

Smartphones
Game consoles

BASIC PARTS OF A
COMPUTER
Computer case
• The computer case is the metal and/or plastic box that
contains the main components of the computer,
including the motherboard, central processing unit
(CPU), and power supply. The front of the case
usually has an On/Off button and one or more optical
drives.

• Computer cases come in different shapes and sizes. A


desktop case lies flat on a desk, and the monitor
usually sits on top of it. A tower case is tall and sits
next to the monitor or on the floor. All-in-one
computers come with the internal components built
into the monitor, which eliminates the need for a
separate case.
• The monitor works with a video card, located inside
Monitor
the computer case, to display images and text on the
screen. Most monitors have control buttons that allow
you to change your monitor's display settings, and
some monitors also have built-in speakers.

• Newer monitors usually have LCD (liquid crystal


display) or LED (light-emitting diode) displays. These
can be made very thin, and they are often called flat-
panel displays. Older monitors use CRT (cathode ray
tube) displays. CRT monitors are much larger and
heavier, and they take up more desk space.
Keyboard

• The keyboard is one of the main ways to communicate with a computer. There are many
different types of keyboards, but most are very similar and allow you to accomplish the
same basic tasks.
Mouse
• The mouse is another important tool for
communicating with computers. Commonly known as
a pointing device, it lets you point to objects on the
screen, click on them, and move them.
• There are two main mouse types: optical and
mechanical. The optical mouse uses an electronic eye
to detect movement and is easier to clean. The
mechanical mouse uses a rolling ball to detect
movement and requires regular cleaning to work
properly.

Peripherals you can use with your computer

• The most basic computer setup


usually includes the computer
case, monitor, keyboard, and
mouse, but you can plug many
different types of devices into
the extra ports on your
computer. These devices are
called peripherals.
Printers
• A printer is used to print
documents, photos, and
anything else that appears on
your screen. There are many
types of printers, including
inkjet, laser, and photo printers.
There are even all-in-one
printers, which can also scan
and copy documents.
Scanners
• A scanner allows you to copy a
physical image or document
and save it to your computer as
a digital (computer-readable)
image. Many scanners are
included as part of an all-in-one
printer, although you can also
buy a separate flatbed or
handheld scanner.
Speakers/headphones
• Speakers and headphones are
output devices, which means
they send information from the
computer to the user—in this
case, they allow you to hear
sound and music. Depending on
the model, they may connect to
the audio port or the USB port.
Some monitors also have built-
in speakers.
Microphones
• A microphone is a type of input
device, or a device that receives
information from a user. You
can connect a microphone to
record sound or talk with
someone else over the Internet.
Many laptop computers come
with built-in microphones.
Web cameras
• A web camera—or webcam—is
a type of input device that can
record videos and take pictures.
It can also transmit video over
the Internet in real time, which
allows for video chat or video
conferencing with someone
else. Many webcams also
include a microphone for this
reason.
Game controllers and joysticks
• A game controller is used to
control computer games. There
are many other types of
controllers you can use,
including joysticks, although
you can also use your mouse
and keyboard to control most
games.
Digital cameras
• A digital camera lets you
capture pictures and videos in a
digital format. By connecting
the camera to your computer's
USB port, you can transfer the
images from the camera to the
computer.
Mobile phones, MP3 players, tablet computers, and other devices:

• Whenever you buy an


electronic device, such
as a mobile phone or
MP3 player, check to
see if it comes with a
USB cable. If it does,
this means you can
most likely connect it to
your computer.
INSIDE A COMPUTER
Motherboard
• The motherboard is the computer's main
circuit board. It's a thin plate that holds the
CPU, memory, connectors for the hard
drive and optical drives, expansion cards
to control the video and audio, and
connections to your computer's ports
(such as USB ports). The motherboard
connects directly or indirectly to every
part of the computer.
• The central processing unit (CPU), also called a processor, is
located inside the computer case on the motherboard. It is
sometimes called the brain of the computer, and its job is to carry
CPU/processor out commands. Whenever you press a key, click the mouse, or
start an application, you're sending instructions to the CPU.

• The CPU is usually a two-inch ceramic square with a silicon chip


located inside. The chip is usually about the size of a thumbnail.
The CPU fits into the motherboard's CPU socket, which is
covered by the heat sink, an object that absorbs heat from the
CPU.

• A processor's speed is measured in megahertz (MHz), or millions


of instructions per second; and gigahertz (GHz), or billions of
instructions per second. A faster processor can execute
instructions more quickly. However, the actual speed of the
computer depends on the speed of many different components—
not just the processor.
RAM (random access
memory)

• RAM is your system's short-term memory. Whenever your computer performs calculations, it
temporarily stores the data in the RAM until it is needed.

• This short-term memory disappears when the computer is turned off. If you're working on a document,
spreadsheet, or other type of file, you'll need to save it to avoid losing it. When you save a file, the data
is written to the hard drive, which acts as long-term storage.

• RAM is measured in megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). The more RAM you have, the more things
your computer can do at the same time. If you don't have enough RAM, you may notice that your
computer is sluggish when you have several programs open. Because of this, many people add extra
RAM to their computers to improve performance.
Hard drive
• The hard drive is where your software,
documents, and other files are stored. The hard
drive is long-term storage, which means the data
is still saved even if you turn the computer off or
unplug it.

• When you run a program or open a file, the


computer copies some of the data from the hard
drive onto the RAM. When you save a file, the
data is copied back to the hard drive. The faster
the hard drive, the faster your computer can start
up and load programs.
Power supply unit • The power supply unit in a computer converts
the power from the wall outlet to the type of
power needed by the computer. It sends power
through cables to the motherboard and other
components.

• If you decide to open the computer case and take


a look, make sure to unplug the computer first.
Before touching the inside of the computer, you
should touch a grounded metal object—or a
metal part of the computer casing—to discharge
any static buildup. Static electricity can be
transmitted through the computer circuits, which
can seriously damage your machine.
Video card

• The video card is responsible for what you see


on the monitor. Most computers have a GPU
(graphics processing unit) built into the
motherboard instead of having a separate video
card. If you like playing graphics-intensive
games, you can add a faster video card to one of
the expansion slots to get better performance.
Sound card

• The sound card—also called an audio card—is


responsible for what you hear in the speakers or
headphones. Most motherboards have integrated
sound, but you can upgrade to a dedicated sound
card for higher-quality sound.
Network card

• The network card allows your computer to


communicate over a network and access the
Internet. It can either connect with an Ethernet
cable or through a wireless connection (often
called Wi-Fi). Many motherboards have built-in
network connections, and a network card can
also be added to an expansion slot.
Bluetooth card (or adapter)

• Bluetooth is a technology for wireless


communication over short distances. It's often
used in computers to communicate with wireless
keyboards, mice, and printers. It's commonly
built into the motherboard or included in a
wireless network card. For computers that don't
have Bluetooth, you can purchase a USB
adapter, often called a dongle.
HOW COMPUTER
KEYBOARD WORKS
• A computer keyboard is one of Keyboard Basics
the primary input devices used
with a computer. It is similar to
a typewriter, composed of
buttons that creates letters,
numbers, and symbols as well
as other functions. Using a
keyboard, a person can type a
document, use keystroke
shortcuts, access menus, play
games and perform a variety of
other tasks. There are different
parts or major part of keyboards
and its function;
MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYBOARDS

• These are the 5 major functions, these are the Function keys (All F keys),
Alphanumeric keys, 9 Special keys, Cursor keys (Arrow), and the numeric
keypad.

EXCEL
The Excel Start Screen

When you open Excel for the first time, the


Excel Start Screen will appear. From here,
you'll be able to create a new workbook,
choose a template, and access your recently
edited workbooks.
Cell Basics

Whenever you work with Excel, you'll enter


information—or content—into cells. Cells are
the basic building blocks of a worksheet. You'll
need to learn the basics of cells and cell
content to calculate, analyze, and organize data
in Excel.
Cell Basics Every worksheet is made up of thousands of
rectangles, which are called cells. A cell is the
intersection of a row and a column. In other
words, it's where a row and column meet.

Columns are identified by letters (A, B, C),


while rows are identified by numbers (1, 2, 3).
Each cell has its own name—or cell address—
based on its column and row. In the example
below, the selected cell intersects column C
and row 5, so the cell address is C5.
Note that the cell address also appears in the Name
Cell Basics box in the top-left corner, and that a cell's column and
row headings are highlighted when the cell is selected.

You can also select multiple cells at the same time. A


group of cells is known as a cell range. Rather than a
single cell address, you will refer to a cell range using
the cell addresses of the first and last cells in the cell
range, separated by a colon. For example, a cell range
that included cells A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 would be
written as A1:A5. Take a look at the different cell
ranges
Cell range A1:A8

Cell range A1:F8

Cell range A1:F1


Cell content

Any information you enter into a spreadsheet will be


stored in a cell. Each cell can contain different types of
content, including text, formatting, formulas, and
functions.

Text: Cells can contain text, such as letters, numbers,


and dates.
Cell content

Formatting attributes: Cells can contain formatting


attributes that change the way letters, numbers, and
dates are displayed. For example, percentages can
appear as 0.15 or 15%. You can even change a cell's
text or background color.
Cell content

Formulas and functions: Cells can contain formulas


and functions that calculate cell values. In our
example, SUM(B2:B8) adds the value of each cell in
the cell range B2:B8 and displays the total in cell B9.
Perform the following
To insert content
To delete (or clear) cell content
To copy and paste cell content
To cut and paste cell content
To drag and drop cells
Perform the following
Challenge!

1. Select cell D7 and type yourname.


2. Clear the contents in row 14.
3. Delete column G.
4. Using either cut and paste or drag
and drop, move the contents of row
17 to row 14.
5. Use the fill handle to put an X in
cells G5:G16.
Modifying Columns, Rows,
and Cells

In our example, column C is too narrow to


display all of the content in these cells. We can
make all of this content visible by changing the
width of column C.
Modifying Columns, Rows,
and Cells
To modify all rows or columns
Instead of resizing rows and columns individually,
you can modify the height and width of every row
and column at the same time. This method allows
you to set a uniform size for every row and column
in your worksheet. In our example, we will set a
uniform row height.
Inserting, deleting, moving,
and hiding
To insert rows
To insert columns
To delete a row or column
To move a row or column
To hide and unhide a row or column
To merge cells using the Merge & Center command
Challenge!
1. Open our practice workbook.
2. Autofit Column Width for the entire workbook.
3. Modify the row height for rows 3 to 14 to 22.5 (30 pixels).
4. Delete row 10.
5. Insert a column to the left of column C. Type SECONDARY
CONTACT in cell C2.
6. Make sure cell C2 is still selected and choose Wrap Text.
7. Merge and Center cells A1:F1.
8. Hide the Billing Address and Phone columns.
Intro to Formulas
One of the most powerful features in Excel is the ability
to calculate numerical information using formulas. Just
like a calculator, Excel can add, subtract, multiply, and
divide. In this lesson, we'll show you how to use cell
references to create simple formulas.

Mathematical operators
Excel uses standard operators for formulas: a plus sign
for addition (+), minus sign for subtraction (-), asterisk
for multiplication (*), forward slash for division (/), and
caret (^) for exponents.
To create a formula
Select the cell that will contain the Type the equals sign (=). Notice how it

To create a formula Type the mathematical operator you want to use.
In our example, we'll type the addition sign (+).
Type the cell address of the cell you
Type the cell address of the cell you want to
want to reference first in the formula:
reference second in the formula: cell D11 in our
cell D10 in our example. A blue
example. A red border will appear around the
border will appear around the
referenced cell.
referenced cell.
To create a formula
Press Enter on your keyboard. The formula will be calculated, and the value will be displayed in
the cell. If you select the cell again, notice that the cell displays the result, while the formula bar
displays the formula.

If the result of a formula is too large to be displayed


in a cell, it may appear as pound signs (#######)
instead of a value. This means the column is not
wide enough to display the cell content. Simply
increase the column width to show the cell content.
To create a formula
To create a formula using the point-and-click method
Copying formulas with the fill handle
To edit a formula
Challenge!
1. In worksheet 1 rename it with “Multiplication”
2. Create a multiplication table
3. Begin with“A2 and B1”
4. The formula for B2 “=$A2*B$1”
5. Add border then switch to page break preview
6. Add worksheet 2 rename it with “Timeline”
7. create your sample grades contains of 1 st to 4th grading and 5
subjects.
8. Add line chart
Creating a function
There are a variety of functions available in Excel. Here are some of the most common functions
you'll use:

1. SUM: This function adds all of the values of the cells in the argument.
2. AVERAGE: This function determines the average of the values included in the argument. It
calculates the sum of the cells and then divides that value by the number of cells in the
argument.
3. COUNT: This function counts the number of cells with numerical data in the argument. This
function is useful for quickly counting items in a cell range.
4. MAX: This function determines the highest cell value included in the argument.
5. MIN: This function determines the lowest cell value included in the argument.
Basic Tips for Working with Data
Excel workbooks are designed to store a lot
of information. Whether you're working with
20 cells or 20,000, Excel has several features
to help you organize your data and find what
you need. You can see some of the most
useful features below. And be sure to review
the other lessons in this tutorial to get step-
by-step instructions for each of these
features.
