2. Objective 1.00 Digital Literacy What are the parts of the computer? What are the functions and components of operating systems, programs, and networks? What are the uses and features of the Internet and the World Wide Web? What are the methods of online communication? What are the threats to your computer? What are the guidelines for protecting your computer and family from online predators?

3. Parts of the Computer Input devices: keyboard Mouse Scanner Output devices Printer Monitor Speakers/headphones Processing: CPU (central processing unit, “The brains”) Storage devices Floppy disks Hard drive (internal drive) USB Not all input devices or storage devices are listed here. Can you name others?

4. Software: Operating System and Application Windows (operating system) Without an operating system, such as Windows, you would not see all the wonderful icons. It would be difficult for you to access your programs. Programs/Apps (application) You install various programs on your computer so that it is a valuable tool. Ex: without a word processing software like Microsoft Word, you would find it difficult to type a academic report (a report for school).

5. Research on the Internet Two basic tools used to find information: Search engines Used to search for keywords Google and search for Presidents Subject directories Used to find specialized topics Go into list of internal directories then search a specific term

6. Types of Search Engines Multimedia Search Engines Used to find graphics, video clips, animation, and MP3 music files. Meta Search Engines Search several major search engines at one time. Individual Search Engine Provides the highest volume of results – most broad Putting in a key word

7. What are the methods of online communication? Blogging Podcasts Email Chat Rooms Skype What are the differences or similarities of these? Can you identify them for their unique qualities? What makes a chat room safe?

8. What are the threats to your computer? Malicious Code Viruses Trojan horse Malware Spyware Worms

9. Step 1: Use an Internet firewall Make sure your computer is protected by a firewall. There are FOUR important steps to keeping your computer secure! Step 2: Update your operating system regularly You should set to automatically update when updates are available. Avoiding Malicious Code Step 3: Use antivirus software and update it regularly Step 4: Use anti-spyware software & update it regularly An anti-spyware program can ensure you don’t have programs operating without your knowledge.

10. What are the guidelines for protecting your computer and family from online predators? What do you do if you are being bullied? What do you do if someone has hacked your account? How do prevent these threats from taking place? What should you do if you come across inappropriate material while searching on the internet? DON’T REPLY EXIT IMMEDIATELY CONTACT YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER INSTALL A FIREWALL DON’T SAY ANYTHING YOU WOULD NOT SAY TO THE PERSON’S FACE INSTALL SECURITY SOFTWARE CONTACT LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IGNORE THE SENDER

11. Objective 3.00 Spreadsheet Basics What formatting options are used in spreadsheets and why? What operations and formulas are commonly used in spreadsheets? Why? What results are produced by the operations and formula?

12. Formatting options used in spreadsheets are: Cells can be formatted a variety of ways. The most common are: Currency(money) Percent Numbers with or without decimals You can align the text in the cells centering both vertically and horizontally, and you can wrap text. Changing column width and row height allows you to see all of the data entered into a particular cell or enhances the appearance of the spreadsheet.

13. Common operations used in spreadsheets are: The mathematical operators are located on your numeric keypad. They are: + used for addition - used for subtraction * used for multiplication / used for division To alert the computer that you want it to perform math, you begin your formula with the = sign. Formulas can be written so that the computer performs a particular task.

14. Common formulas and functions used in spreadsheets are: Formulas vs. functions To add the formula below could be used =b5+b6 This formula will add the 2 numbers that appear in those cells and produce the answer in the cell in which the formula sits. To add using a function you would use =SUM(b5:b6) This function will also add the 2 numbers in the range of cells and produce an answer in the cell in which the function sits.

15. The most commonly used functions are: SUM Adds all the numbers in a range of cells AVERAGE Returns the average or mean, of the set of date MIN (minimum) Returns (finds) the smallest value in a set of values. MAX (maximum) Returns (finds) the largest value in a set of values. =SUM(B3:G3) =AVERAGE(B3:G3) =MIN(B3:G3) =MAX(B3:G3) Function or operation the computer will perform Cell range where the data is located

16. 5.01 Understand business publications Slide 16

17. Slide 17 Six Principles of Design 1. Balance 2. Proximity/unity 3. Alignment 4. Repetition/consistency 5. Contrast 6. White space

18. Balance Slide 18 Graphics don’t overpower text Page is not too heavy on one side or the other such as, putting matching text boxes at the top and bottom of a publication

19. Slide 19 Proximity/Unity Distance between elements on a page Used to demonstrate a relationship or a lack of relationship between elements such as, you must put captions (text) next to the related photograph

20. Slide 20 Alignment Justification of elements Related items should be justified the same to emphasize their relationship to each other such as, the text giving the location, date, time, and cost of an event are all CENTERED on a flyer

21. Slide 21 Repetition/Consistency Consistent pattern of font and color schemes and graphic types; repeated fonts, color schemes, or graphics 1. Specific font, size, and style for headings, subheadings, and body text. 2. Do not mix photographic images or digital and cartoon images on the same page. Scheme - a planned combination of elements, such as a combination of font styles and sizes

22. Repetition/Consistency (continued) Scheme examples: In a publication: all the Headings are keyed in 14 pt. Arial font and the Body is keyed in 12 pt. Times New Roman font or all the text is in the same font type/style The graphics that are used all relate to the topic of the publication Slide 22

23. Slide 23 Contrast the use of color and size to emphasize the most important elements on a page for example: Use black font on a light pink colored page Use white font on black paper Use light gray on dark blue

24. Slide 24 White Space White space is: blank or negative space on a page Used to give the reader’s eyes a break Used to focus the reader’s attention on important details White Space does not have to be white Examples of White Space: Using wide margins to create white space An example of poor use of white space: putting text boxes in the margins of a publication
