How to use trackpad

1. Move the Mouse Pointer – Gently slide one finger across the trackpad
surface to move the pointer on the screen.

2. Click – To select or open an item, tap once on the trackpad. To double-

click, tap twice quickly.

3. Drag and Drop (to move) – To move a file into a folder, tap and hold
the file with one finger, then slide your finger to the desired location.
Lift your finger to drop the file. Alternatively, use two fingers: press one
finger on the object and use the other finger to move it.

4. Scroll (to read) – To scroll up or down a page, place two fingers on the
trackpad, hold them down, and move them up or down. You can also
tap the far right of a window near the navigation bar and hold it while
moving your fingers.

5. Right-click (to open a menu) – To open a right-click menu, point to an

object and tap with two fingers. On some devices, you can also press
the control key while tapping. For Chromebooks, use the Alt key
instead. To select an item from the menu, move the pointer over it and
tap the trackpad.

What is a web browser?

A web browser is a software application that allows us to access and explore
the internet. All websites are viewed through a browser “window.” Think of it
as your portal to the millions of websites available online.

How do I use a web browser?

Step 1: Find you browser icon. On your computer desktop or in the app menu
on your smartphone, look for the icon of the browser you want to use. For
example, Chrome has a colorful circle logo, Safari shows a compass, and
Firefox has an orange fox around a blue globe.

Step 2: Open the browser. Click the browser icon, and it will open a window
as shown in the image below. When you open a web browser, you’ll typically
see a blank page or a search engine like Google, as is the case in the image
above. At the top of the browser window, there’s a bar where you can type in
addresses of websites (like www.google.com). This is called the address bar.

Step 3: Search for information. Once you have the browser open and you’re
connected to the internet, you can start exploring. One of the simplest ways
to find what you’re looking for is by typing keywords into the search field

Step 4: Enter a web address. If you already know the website you want to
visit, you can type the full address (like www.ncoa.org in the image below)
into the address bar at the top of the browser. This will take you directly to
that website. Keep in mind that when you open any browser, there will
already be a web address in the address bar. To type in a new one, simply
click on the address until it’s highlighted. Then, you can either just start
typing over the existing address or hit your Delete key to clear the bar
before you begin typing

Step 5: Click on links that interest you. Websites have links (usually blue text
and/or underlined in blue, like ‘Learn about our work’ in the image below)
and buttons you can click to go to another page or section of a website.
When you see a link or button you want to follow, just click on it, and the
browser will load the new page

What are the different features of a web browser?

Web browsers come with some helpful features to help you manage your
browsing experience. These include:

o Tabs: At the top of the browser window, you’ll see a “+” symbol.
Clicking this opens a new tab, which lets you visit another website
without closing the one you’re currently on. Tabs allow you to have
multiple sites open at once in one browser window—instead of
cluttering up your screen with several browser windows.

o Back and forward buttons: These buttons, usually at the top left of your
browser window, let you go back to the page you were on previously or
move forward again. This feature is useful when you’ve clicked a link
but want to return to the original page.

o Bookmarks: Did you find a website you want to return to later?

Bookmark it! In Google Chrome, you’ll find a small star on the right
side of the address bar. Clicking it will save the website to your
bookmarks, so you don’t have to type in the address again to visit it in
the future. To see and visit your bookedmarked pages, click on
“Bookmarks” in the Google Chrome menu at the very top of your
screen.

o Refresh button: Sometimes, web pages don’t load correctly. You can
click the refresh button to reload the page. In Chrome, the refresh icon
is a circular arrow at the left of the address bar.

o Browser history: The web browser history feature records the websites
and pages you visit, including website addresses (URLs) and
timestamps (when you last visited). You can use the history feature to
track your browsing activity and revisit sites. Your history can be
viewed, searched, or cleared for privacy.

o Security: Web browsers come with built-in security features designed

to protect you from online threats. These features include warnings for
unsafe or malicious websites, pop-up blocking, and prevention of
tracking by unscrupulous sites and entities.

o Download manager: If you want to download something from the

internet, such as a document or a photo, clicking a download link will
usually bring up a prompt to save the file on your computer or phone.
You can find all the files you’ve downloaded by clicking “Window” and
then “Downloads” in your top Chrome menu.

o Extensions: Web browser extensions are small software programs that

can be added to your browser to enhance its functionality. Extensions
can add features such as ad blocking, password management,
language translation, and productivity tools.

Lesson 3: National ICT police and it’s impact on education

What is ICT policy

An ICT (Information and Communication Technology) policy, also

known as an IT policy or technology policy, is a set of guidelines, rules,

that extended the length of basic education in the Philippines from 10 to 12
years. It also strengthened the curriculum and aligned the education system
with international standards. The law is also known as the K to 12 Law

Lesson 4: Reports on policy impact

Challenge of national ict policy in teaching and learning

1. Limited Infrastructure – Many schools, especially in rural areas, lack

reliable electricity, internet access, and modern ICT facilities.

2. High Cost of ICT Equipment – The cost of computers, tablets, and

smartboards can be prohibitive for many institutions, particularly in
developing countries.

3. Inconsistent Policy Implementation – A lack of coordination

between government agencies educational institutions, and private
stakeholders can lead to fragmented or ineffective policy execution.

4. Digital Divide – Socioeconomic disparities can result in unequal

access to ICT tools among students, limiting educational opportunities
for disadvantaged groups.

5. Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Issues – Schools need to ensure

that student and teacher data remain secure while using digital
platforms.

Positive Impacts of ICT Policies

1. Improved Access to Education - Online learning platforms have

enabled students in remote areas to access quality education.

2. Enhanced Teaching and Learning Methods - Digital tools like

interactive whiteboards, simulations, and e-books improve
engagement.

3. Increased Digital Literacy - Students develop ICT skills that are

crucial for future careers.

4. Collaboration and Connectivity - ICT policies promote global

learning through virtual classrooms.
