New Learning
1. Operating system- An operating system (or 'OS') controls the general
operation of a computer, and provides an easy way for us to interact
with computers and run applications.
2. Hardware-Physical components of the computer (monitor, keyboard,
memory chips, hard drive, etc.)
3. Software-Set of instructions that directs hardware to accomplish a task
4. User interface - An environment for the user to interact with the
machine. The UI is either graphical or text-based.
User interface provided by Operating System
1. Graphical user interface (GUI)
The OS on most computers
and smartphones provides an environment with tiles,
icons and/or menus. This type of interface is called the
graphical user interface (GUI) because the user
interacts with images through a mouse, keyboard or
touchscreen.
2. Command line interface (CLI)
This is a text-only service with feedback from the OS
appearing in text. Using a CLI requires knowledge of
the commands available on a particular machine.
Minecraft, also make use of a command line tool which
allows the user to bypass the main interface and alter
the game’s mechanics or environment.

Differentiated Activity / Think – Pair – Share
Task 1 :
1. Find out two major objectives of an operating system.
2. What is the difference between Graphical user interface and Command line
interface
Task 2 : Your smartphone receives an update for its operating system. Why
are such updates important?
Task 3 : Compare and contrast how Windows, macOS, and Linux manage file
systems and memory.
Objectives of a operating system
1.To activate the hardware devices and
to provide an interactive
interface to the user .
2.Interpret commands so that it can
communicate with the hardware .
E.g MS Windows .
