TEACHER’S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Computers are used everywhere, i.e., at homes, libraries, schools, offices, etc.
They touch every aspect of our life making it easier and comfortable. We rely
on computers for most of our daily work. In today’s world, not knowing about
the computer is nothing less than illiteracy. Knowing about computer and its
uses are no more a luxury, but a necessity.
Keeping in mind the increasing need of computer, IT Planet, a series of 8
books from class 1 to 8 has been written with a focus to impart knowledge
about computers to young minds. This series will help the teachers to make
the children computer-friendly according to the level of their knowledge and
help them acquire computer technology skills as required by the curriculum of
various boards. These books are based on new N.C.E.R.T. guidelines.
OBJECTIVES
You are a computer teacher. The subject you are teaching and the knowledge
you are giving will help the students throughout their lifetime. You are
creating a tech-savvy generation.
We should strike a balance between theory and applications, and we should
include appropriate elements of recent research in our curriculum. We expect
our students to play leading roles in industry, profession and government.
Rather than just coping with the future, we expect our students to create the
future.
Co-existence Is The Key: Learning is a collective effort and not an individual
effort. Group learning enhances better understanding and decreases
dissonance among students.
Integration On Life Skills Into Teaching Methodologies: Learning takes place in
every walk of life – from taking our first baby steps to landing a person on the
surface of the Moon. Learning from life skills is, perhaps, the most essential
part of overall student development.
Bridging The Gap: Students in a classroom learn at different levels, thus, the
need for the teacher to adopt various innovative methods to bridge gaps
between the understanding levels of the first child and the last child.
GUIDED DISCOVERY-BASED LEARNING
The teachers should give their students a discovery-based learning. Compared
with many other subjects, Computer Science is not straight-forward to teach.
One reason for this is the general nature of the computer field. The computer
field is changing very rapidly. The computers available to your students in the
school and homes 20 years from now will be a hundred or a thousand times
as powerful as the computers they have now in school. A guided discovery-
based learning environment contributes greatly to learning, and it facilitates
3
transfer of learning. In addition, you may want to assign a number of activities
at the end of the chapters as homework and make use of this in assessment.
TEACHING PROCEDURES
The best teaching style ratio is 90:10.
90% serious teaching style and 10% fun based teaching style.
1. Begin by making sure all students have their books. Ask students to
recall what they learnt from the previous lesson. Then observe several
students' responses.
2. Read the chapter to the students. Explain it to them in a very easy to
understand way. Help students get well-versed with every chapter. Have
them write down some important points that they remember from the
chapter.
3. Assign the activity at the end of the chapter.
4. Closure. Near the end of the period, let students think about some of
the important ideas that have been covered in today's discussions and
readings. Each student has to decide on one idea that he/she felt was
particularly important. As time permits, these ideas can be shared by the
whole class in small groups, written down, or merely thought about at a
personal level.

Bloom’s taxonomy : teacher planning kit
Bloom's Taxonomy was created under the leadership of educational
psychologist, Dr Benjamin Bloom, in order to promote higher forms of
thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts, processes,
procedures and principles, rather than just remembering facts (rote learning).
It is most often used while designing educational, training, and learning
processes.
It provides an important framework for teachers to use to focus on higher
order thinking (HOT). By providing a hierarchy of levels, this taxonomy can
assist teachers in designing performance tasks, crafting questions for conferring
with students, and providing feedback on student work.
This resource is divided into different levels each with Keywords that
exemplify the level and questions that focus on that same critical thinking
level. Questions for Critical Thinking can be used in the classroom to develop
all levels of thinking within the cognitive domain (development of our mental
skills and the acquisition of knowledge). The results will be improved attention
to detail, increased comprehension and expanded problem-solving skills. Use
the keywords as guidelines to structuring questions and tasks. Finish the
Questions with content appropriate to the learner.

3. The amount of RAM on the computer determines the amount of
programs and data a computer can handle at one time, which affects
the overall performance.
F. Answer Briefly.
1. The computer memory is divided into two types—Primary Memory
and Secondary Memory.
i. Primary Memory is often known as the working memory or the
main memory of a computer system. RAM and ROM are two
major types of primary memory.
ii. Secondary Memory is used to store data for a long time. It
operates at a slower rate than primary memory. This memory is
permanent in nature, i.e., data stored is not lost even when the
computer is switched off.
2. Cache is a temporary storage area for instructions and data that
enhances the CPU speed. Cache Memory improves the processing
speed of the computer because it stores frequently used instructions
and data.

information.
ii. A DVD can hold from 4 GB to 7.5 GB of data.
iii. A Blu-ray Disc-ROM (BD-ROM) has storage capacity of 100 GB.
3. The computer memory can be measured in bits or bytes. There are
different units of memory used by computer memory. These are:
1 Byte (B) = 1 Character
1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1024 Bytes
1 Megabyte (MB) = 1024 Kilobyte
1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 Megabyte
1 Terabyte (TB) = 1024 Gigabyte
1 Petabyte (PB) = 1024 Terabyte
1 Exabyte (EB) = 1024 Petabyte
1 Zettabyte (ZB) = 1024 Exabyte
1 Yottabyte (YB) = 1024 Zettabyte
1 Brontobyte (BB) = 1024 Yottabyte
4. The amount of RAM on the computer determines the amount of
programs and data a computer can handle at one time, which affects
the overall performance. A computer can only manipulate data that
is in its main memory. More the RAM, faster the computer will
respond.
5. Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) is a newer type of RAM which stores
data using magnetic charges instead of electrical charges. It has
greater storage capacity, consumes less power, and has faster access
time than other RAMs. MRAM retains its contents after the
computer is switched off, which could prevent loss of data for users.
6. i. A Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM) chip is a blank
ROM chip on which items can be placed permanently.
ii. An Erasable Programmable ROM (EPROM) is another type of
ROM, the contents of which are erased by ultraviolet light and
then reprogrammed by a PROM program.
32
iii. An Electrically EPROM (EEPROM) is another variation of the
PROM chip, which allows a programmer to erase the microcode
with an electric signal.
7. AutoFill feature of Excel is used to add duplicate entries or a data
series to the worksheet cells. We can create our own custom data
lists as well as use built-in lists of common entries, such as days of
the week, months of the year, and number series. It will save our
time.
8. It is important to save a workbook frequently for these reasons:
i. The workbook in memory might get lost if the computer
suddenly crashes, or you lose electrical power while Excel is
running.
ii. If we run out of time, we can save our work for future use.
9. When a formula contains more than one operator, Excel performs
the calculations in a specific order according to precedence. The
order in which Excel performs operations in formulas is called order
of calculation.
For example, if we want to determine the average of values in A3,
B3, and C3 and we enter the equation =A3+B3+C3/3, you will receive
the wrong answer. This is because Excel divides the value in cell C3
by 3, and then adds that result to A3+B3. Following operator
precedence, division takes precedence over addition. The correct
way to type the average formula is =(A3+B3+C3)/3. Enclosing the
values in parentheses, Excel adds the cell values first before dividing
the sum by 3.
10. A formula using the absolute cell reference instructs Excel to keep
the cell reference constant in the formula as it copies it to the
destination area. $ sign is used to keep the cell reference constant.
For example; If we apply absolute reference for cell C5, then we
should write it in formula like $C$5.
11. Advantages of charts in Excel are:
i. Charts can display a lot of information in an easy to understand
format.
ii. Data and information can be presented in an attractive manner
with the help of a chart.
iii. A chart is more impressive and informative as compared to a
simple data statement.
33
12. Components of a chart are: X-axis, Y-axis, Data Series, Data Object,
Chart Area, Plot Area, Chart Title, Axis Title, Gridlines, Legend, Data
Label.

video effects that have been added in the project.
7. Auto movie option is a feature in Windows Movie Maker that can
quickly edit digital video. It can be useful and time saving.
8. Movie Maker allows us to add a title, name, date, credits and other
text to our movie. The title plays for the specified amount of time
and then it disappears; the video clips or pictures continue to
appear. Steps for adding title, caption and credit in a movie are
same but title is added in the beginning of selected clip, captions
are added on the selected clips and credits are added at the end of
the selected clip.
