Computer Software ICT 1 Learning Target Students will compare and contrast various operating systems used in a computer and mobile devices. Vocabulary Software License Commercial License Open-Source License System Software Application Software Graphical User Interface (GUI) Command-Line Interface Operating System Cloud Computing File Extension Learning Scale 4.0 I can compare and contrast various operating systems used in a computer and mobile devices and teach them to someone else. 3.0 I can compare and contrast various operating systems used in a computer and mobile devices. I can compare and contrast a few operating systems used in a computer and mobile devices. I cannot compare and contrast various operating systems used in a computer and mobile devices. 2.0 1.0 What is software? software is the set of instructions stored inside a computer These instructions tell the computer how to work with the hardware. They also enable the user to communicate with the computer. Interface An interface is a software application's onscreen appearance, including the tools provided for users to issue commands and access features. There are 2 types: Command Line Interface Graphical User Interface (GUI) Command Line Interface Text-based interface that does not support a mouse Example: Windows DOS Graphical User Interface (GUI) Allows users to click and drag onscreen objects with the mouse Also called point-and-click interface Examples: Microsoft, Apple software license protects the software developer from people buying and selling illegal copies 2 types of licenses: Commercial – the user pays a fee for permission to use the software (Microsoft, Adobe) Open Source - software whose source code is free. Anyone can change, copy, or distribute it. (Linux, Apache) two basic types of computer software Operating System Software - Directs all the activities and sets all the rules for how the hardware and software will work together. Application Software - Programs that work with operating system software to help the computer to do specific types of work. Video - What is an Operating System? System Software 3 common operating system software for desktops and laptops Microsoft Windows Mac OS Linux Microsoft Windows commercial software installed on desktops Most popular suffers many virus attacks Mac OS introduced before Windows installed only on Apple computers not as many viruses as Windows Linux open source software installed on desktops not as widely used popular with Techies can run on older machines hardly any virus attacks Try it out! Follow along with me as we explore the Microsoft Operating System Start Button Recycle Bin Desktop Task Bar Date &Time Settings Volume Control Is Microsoft a GUI or Command Line Operating System?

Aero Features Snap Peek Shake Flip Flip 3D ICT 1 Activity - Creating and Moving Files Follow along with the “Creating and Moving Files” Handout to learn how to create folders and move files Tablet and Smartphone Operating System Software 3 most common mobile operating systems: Google Apple Android iOS Windows Phone Google Android can be installed on almost every type of smartphone and tablet Uses icon- and widget-based home screen Preloaded with an online store called Google Play highly customizable, making it a favorite for technology-savvy consumers Apple iOS installed only on Apple smartphones and tablets Sleek and simple user interface with icon-based home screen Can’t customize it easily Preloaded with an online store called the App Store Windows Phone Not as popular Developed years after Android and iOS Uses “Live Tiles” that provide live updates on home screen online store - Windows Marketplace Not as many apps as Apple or Google Application Software Application Software allows users to perform specific tasks on their computers. Examples: writing letters preparing budgets playing games sending e-mails browsing the internet Types of Application Software Application Software Type Function Examples Web Browser view webpages on the Internet Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Apple Safari E-mail Client send and receive e-mails Microsoft Outlook, Windows Live Mail Word Processor create documents - letters, flyers Microsoft Word, Google Docs Presentation (slide show) create presentations Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides Spreadsheets create documents that can perform calculations. Creates tables, charts, and graphs Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets Try It Out! Follow along with me as we explore: MS Word Creating and opening a document The Ribbon Quick Access Tool Bar MS PowerPoint Creating and opening presentations The Ribbon Adding a new slide Cloud Computing Cloud Applications run within a browser This means they can run on any operating system Examples of Cloud Computing Software: Google Docs Office 365 File Management managing files and folders correctly prevents wasted time, frustration and errors. proper file management begins with using file naming conventions and good organization. guidelines for naming files and folders: Use short, simple file and folder names Use file and folder names that describe the content accurately. Use underscores instead of spaces in file names. For example: descriptive_essay Use all lowercase letters in file names. Avoid using characters such as: ! # $ % @ ^ ` ~ + ; = in file and folder names. Some systems do not allow you to use characters in file and folder names, and will not accept them. File Extensions A file extension is the suffix at the end of a filename that indicates what type of file it is. File Type Extension Portable Document Format (PDF) .pdf Microsoft Word Document .doc, .docx Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet .xls, .xlsx Plain Text File .txt Webpage .htm, .html Compressed File .zip, .rar, .tar Audio File .wav, .mp3, .ogg Video File .avi, .wmv, .mp4, .mpg Graphics File .jpg, .png, .gif ICT 1 – Activity: Identifying File Types classify file types according to their file name extensions ICT 1 – Activity: Software Essentials Matching match common terms associated with software to their definitions
