Computer Basics Training Outline

General Concepts To begin, participants will learn some basic computer terms, about the types of computers available, and the basic parts of a PC. We will also take a brief look at how a PC works and what can impact its performance.

Hardware Devices Next, we will focus on the main hardware components of a PC: CPU, RAM, input devices, output devices, and secondary storage devices.

Software This section will focus on basic terms related to software, the differences between operating systems and applications, types of software available, and legal issues related to software. We will also take a fascinating look at how software is built.

Information Networks To begin this section, we will discuss some networking terms. Then, we will explore just what a network is, how it works, and why it is useful. Finally, we will expand our discussion to look at the Internet.

Application This section will apply some of the things that we have learned so far to the real world. We will look at how computers are used in the workplace, including e-commerce and instant messaging. We will also explore some of the issues with a technological workplace, such as tele-commuting, ergonomics, safety, and environmental awareness.

Security Participants will learn some basic security rules, how to create a good password, how to backup data, and how to protect data using anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.
