    Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-by-Step Guide Note: Completing the Mouse Tutorial and Mousercise exercise which are available on the Class Resources webpage constitutes the first part of this lesson. ABOUT PROGRAMS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS Any time a task is performed on a computer, it is done through a program. For the user, the program is the application – the tool – for accomplishing a task. For the computer, it is a set of instructions on knowing how to perform this task. Examples of programs include Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word. The most important program overall is the operating system, which manages all of the computer’s resources and decides how to treat input from the user. There are several different operating systems in circulation, such as Mac O/S and Linux. However, far and away, the most commonly-used operating system is Microsoft Windows. (Note that Microsoft is just the name of the company that makes Windows, and that there are several versions of Windows. In 2012 all the computers in the lab were updated to the version of Windows called Windows 7. If you have some experience with the older versions of Windows you will notice that things look a bit different on a computer running Windows 7. THE WINDOWS 7 ENVIRONMENT The Desktop The first thing you see when you log on to the computer is the DESKTOP. The Desktop is the display area you see when Windows opens. The following items are the most common items that can be found on the desktop: Mouse pointer Icons Shortcuts to Storage drives Notification Start Button Taskbar tray Show Desktop/Peek button Andrea Philo September 2012 Page 1 of 13 Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-by-Step Guide Parts of the Windows 7 Desktop Icon: A picture representing a program or file or places to store files.

Locate the following items on the computer screen. • Title bar: The top bar of a window displaying the title of the program and the document. • Menu bar: The bar containing names of menus, located below the title bar. You can use the menus on the menu bar to access many of the tools available in a program by clicking on a word in the menu bar. • Minimize button: The left button in the upper-right corner of a window used to minimize a program window. A minimized program remains open, but is visible only as a button on the taskbar. • Resize button: The middle button in the upper-right corner of a window used to resize a program window.

  • Welcome to Computer Basics
    Computer Basics Instructor's Guide 1 COMPUTER BASICS To the Instructor Because of time constraints and an understanding that the trainees will probably come to the course with widely varying skills levels, the focus of this component is only on the basics. Hence, the course begins with instruction on computer components and peripheral devices, and restricts further instruction to the three most widely used software areas: the windows operating system, word processing and using the Internet. The course uses lectures, interactive activities, and exercises at the computer to assure accomplishment of stated goals and objectives. Because of the complexity of the computer and the initial fear experienced by so many, instructor dedication and patience are vital to the success of the trainee in this course. It is expected that many of the trainees will begin at “ground zero,” but all should have developed a certain level of proficiency in using the computer, by the end of the course. 2 COMPUTER BASICS Overview Computers have become an essential part of today's workplace. Employees must know computer basics to accomplish their daily tasks. This mini course was developed with the beginner in mind and is designed to provide WTP trainees with basic knowledge of computer hardware, some software applications, basic knowledge of how a computer works, and to give them hands-on experience in its use. The course is designed to “answer such basic questions as what personal computers are and what they can do,” and to assist WTP trainees in mastering the basics. The PC Novice dictionary defines a computer as a machine that accepts input, processes it according to specified rules, and produces output.

  • Basic Computer Lesson
    Table of Contents MICROSOFT WORD 1 ONE LINC What is MSWord? MSWord is a word-processing program that allows users to create, edit, and enhance text in a variety of formats. Word is a powerful word processor with sophisticated editing and formatting as well as graphic- enhancement capabilities. Word is a good program for novice users since it is relatively easy to learn and can be integrated with language learning. Word processing has become popular due to its wide range of personal, business, and other applications. ESL learners, like others, need word processing for job search, employment, and personal purposes. Word-processing skills have become the backbone of computer literacy skills. Features PARTS OF THE SCREEN The Word screen can be overwhelming for novice learners. The numerous bars on the screen such as toolbars, scroll bars, and status bar confuse learners who are using Word for the first time. It is important that learners become familiar with parts of the screen and understand the function of each toolbar but we recommend that the Standard and Formatting toolbars as well as the Status bar be hidden for LINC One level.

  • Acrobuttons Quick Start Tutorial
    AcroButtons User’s Manual WindJack Solutions, Inc. AcroButtons© Quick Start Guide AcroButtons by Windjack Solutions, Inc. An Adobe® Acrobat® plug-in for creating Toolbar Buttons. The Fastest Button There are 5 quick steps to creating a custom toolbar button.. 1. Create a New Button 2. Name the button. 3. Select the image to appear on the button face. 4. Select the Action the button will perform. 5. Save to button to a file. Create a New Button There are two ways to start making your own Acrobat Toolbar Button. 1. Press the button on Acrobat’s Advanced Editing Toolbar. If this toolbar is not visible, then activate it from the menu option View–> Toolbars–> Advanced Editing. 2. Select the menu option Advanced–>AcroButtons–>Create New AcroButton Each of these Actions starts the process of creating a new toolbar button by displaying the Properties Panel for a new button. All values are set to defaults, including the button icon. (See The Properties Panel in the AcroButtons User’s Manual) At this point you could press “Ok” and a new toolbar button would appear on Acrobat’s toolbar. The image on the new button would be the icon that’s currently showing in the Properties Panel (question mark with a red slash through it). This button wouldn’t be very interesting though because it doesn’t do anything. 1 AcroButtons User’s Manual WindJack Solutions, Inc. Name the Button Change the default name, “Untitled0”, to something more descriptive. For this example change it to “NextPage”. The button’s name is important for several different reasons.
