This document outlines the learning areas, topics, and outcomes for an ICT (Information and Communications Technology) education program for Years 1 and 4. In Year 1, students will learn about safety and rules in computer labs, basic computer parts and their functions, various computer devices and their uses, how to operate a computer including starting/closing applications, and using educational CD-ROMs. In Year 4, students will learn advanced skills in graphic design and desktop publishing applications, such as manipulating images, adding text, and printing outputs. The goal is for students to develop practical digital literacy and skills.
The document provides an overview of evaluation and assessment for ICT education at the primary level. It discusses two main forms of assessment: informal continuous observation by teachers in the classroom and formal assessment at the end of each topic. Assessment can be in the form of observations, presentations, portfolios, tasks or activities. Scoring guides or rubrics are used to track student achievement over time. Teachers are required to complete classroom and summative assessment forms to report student performance, which are reviewed by parents. Accurate reporting is important to achieve the objectives of assessment and support student learning.

E-mail allows people to send documents, images, and files electronically. It requires an internet connection and email account from an internet service provider. An email contains a recipient address, optional carbon copy and blind carbon copy addresses, and can include attachments. Features include automatic replies, forwarding, filing, and time stamps. Advantages are ease of use, speed, and ability to send files and copies to groups. Disadvantages include needing the recipient's address, potential for spam, viruses from attachments, and delayed responses.
The monitor is the most common output device used to display text and graphics made up of thousands of tiny colored dots called pixels. There are several types of monitors including monochrome monitors that display in black and white, color monitors that can display multiple colors, and LCD monitors which are more expensive but flatter and use less energy than older CRT monitors. The quality of images depends on the screen resolution measured in pixels, with higher resolutions displaying more detail.
Computers are classified based on their size, speed, storage capacity, and purpose. There are two main types: special purpose computers designed for specific tasks like ATMs, and general purpose computers for multiple uses like games and work. General purpose computers are further divided by size into microcomputers (small, personal computers), minicomputers (medium sized for medium businesses), and mainframes (large, powerful computers used by large organizations).
There are two main types of software: system software and application software. System software includes operating systems and disk operating systems, which allow hardware and applications to communicate. Application software accomplishes specific tasks and is divided into user-designed and ready-made categories. User-designed software is tailored for a specific organization, while ready-made software like word processors and spreadsheets are off-the-shelf packages that may not fully suit an organization's needs but are cheaper and easier to use.
The document discusses various computer storage devices and their characteristics. It describes primary storage RAM and secondary storage devices like hard disk drives. It explains what RAM and ROM are, their differences, and provides examples of different types of storage media like CD-ROMs, DVDs, hard disks, floppy disks, flash memory, and how many bytes and bits are used to store data.
The document discusses different types of printers including dot matrix, inkjet, laser, and plotter printers. Dot matrix printers use pins to print characters as dots, while inkjet printers use nozzles to spray ink onto paper. Laser printers use a laser beam to transfer toner powder onto paper. Plotters differ in that they draw lines using pens instead of printing dots like other printers. The document compares the printing mechanisms, speeds, resolutions, costs, sizes, and popularities of each printer type.
The CPU is the brain of the computer. It manages startup processes, controls data flow and input/output operations, loads programs and data into memory, and manages file operations. The CPU consists of an ALU for processing data, a control unit for monitoring operations and controlling data flow, and immediate access storage for temporary data and programs. The entire CPU is built on a single microchip called the microprocessor.
This document outlines the assessment objectives, scheme of assessment, and modular project assignments for the SPN21 Computer Studies curriculum in years 7 and 8. It includes 3 assessment objectives focusing on knowledge and understanding, problem solving, and communication. It also details the weighting of each objective, the mode of assessment including a written exam and school-based assessment, and provides examples of the 4 modular project assignments students must complete - graphics, word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations.

Computers can be hazardous to the environment in several ways. They can cause electronic interference with other devices if placed too closely together, and produce various forms of pollution during their production and disposal. Making computers requires raw materials that produce toxic waste, and operating computers uses resources like paper that damage forests. Proper disposal through recycling and reducing computer use can help address these environmental issues.

2. It led to more efficient business and manufacturing but also loss of employment as jobs were replaced by computers and people needed retraining.
3. New technologies like ATMs, online banking, telecommuting, teleconferencing, e-shopping and teleworking provided conveniences but also negative impacts such as job losses and less social interaction for some jobs.
Computers have significantly impacted modern lifestyles and cultural practices through social and work changes. A cashless society relies on non-cash payments like credit/debit cards, prepayment cards, ATMs, and smart cards to facilitate electronic commerce without physical money. While offering convenience, a fully cashless system faces economic, consumer acceptance, privacy, and security challenges.
