    Study Notes

    Module Overview

    • Focus on Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) under K to 12 Basic Education Program, specifically ICT.
    • Learning competency emphasizes preparing drawings using Computer-Aided Design (CAD).
    • Encouragement to set aside distractions to enhance learning experience.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Identify different computer elements and their functions.
    • Distinguish between hardware and software.
    • Appreciate the role of CAD in technical drafting.

    Operating CAD Software and Computer Hardware

    • Hardware encompasses physical components of a computer system, including:

      • System Hardware: Central Processing Unit (CPU), keyboard, monitor, RAM, and secondary storage.
      • Peripherals: Disk drives, mouse, digitizers, printers/plotters.

    • The System Unit is the core part of a microcomputer, containing:

      • Motherboard, microprocessor, memory chips, buses, ports, and expansion cards.

    • Printers vs Plotters:

      • Printer: An output device for general printing tasks.
      • Plotter: Produces higher quality drawings but at slower speeds compared to printers.

    Software Overview

    • Software refers to the set of programs and procedures associated with a computer.
    • Divided into two main categories:
      • Operating System Software: Manages interactions between the user, computer, and application software.
      • Application Software: Performs specific tasks (e.g., AutoCAD for architectural drawings, Adobe Photoshop for image editing).

    Key Activities

    • Activities include identifying hardware and understanding their functions in operating CAD software.
    • Matching output devices with their definitions to promote recognition of components.
    • Fill-in-the-blank exercises to reinforce knowledge of technical terms.
