Technology

for Teaching
and Learning
in the
Elementary
IT (Information
Technology)
encompasses all of the
technology that we use
to collect, process,
protect and store
ICT (Information and Communication
Technology)
This concept involves transfer and use of all kinds
of information. ICT is the foundation of economy
and a driving force of social changes in the 21st
century. Distance is no longer an issue when it
comes to accessing information; for example,
working-from-home, distance learning, e-banking,
and e-government are now possible from any
place with an Internet connection and a computing
device.
The concept of hardware includes computer components, the
physical and tangible parts of the computer, i.e., electrical,
electronic and mechanical parts which comprise a computer.
Computer working principle:

Output devices
Input devices
System unit
Personal computer (PC), as the name
suggests, is intended for personal use, as
opposed to the server, which is used by a larger
number of people simultaneously, from different
locations, often via terminals. If you do not intend
to move your computer frequently from one place
to another, and at the same time you want
maximal price/performance ratio, then you
should use a desktop computer. In comparison to
laptops or tablet computers, it is much larger in
size, inconvenient to carry/move, consumes
more electricity but has a much better
price/performance ratio. Also, they are much
easier to upgrade.
LAPTOP OR TABLET PC

Laptop or tablet PC is used by individuals who have the need

to travel with a computer or simply use them for aesthetic
reasons when computing power is not an issue. Laptop
computers, as opposed to tablet PCs, more closely resemble
a personal computer when it comes to data input. Data entry is
done via keyboard and mouse, while the tablet PC data entry
is done via touch screen.

Unlike desktop computers, notebooks and tablet PCs are

optimized for portability, low power requirements at the
expense of performance and can be used (for a limited period
of time-i.e. until the batteries are depleted) without connection
to the power grid. In order to prepare a laptop or a tablet
computer for use without a power connection, it is necessary
to recharge the batteries.
PORTABLE DIGITAL DEVICES

PDA-Personal Digital Assistant (PALM) is a

convenient small sized computer. It easily connects to
mobile phones and can prove a good solution for less
demanding users. As the name suggests, it is a device
that fits in the user’s palm. Its name directly tells us
that this computer is more of an assistant and not a
workstation-whose name suggests the superiority in
capabilities and computing power, especially in
comparison with PDA.
Mobile phone is a portable electronic device used for
distant communication. In recent years, mobile phone
has evolved from simple communication device into a
multi-functional device. Additional functions, such as
short text messaging (SMS), electronic mail, Internet
access, contact registration, calculator, clock, alarm,
recording and photograph displaying, recording and
playback of video clips, sending/ receiving multimedia
messages (MMS), audio recording and playback, etc.
has turned the mobile phone into an extremely useful
device, whose absence would make active involvement
and participation in a modern society not possible.
Smartphone is a device that merges functionality of
phones, PDAs, cameras, camcorders and computers.
To function properly, Smart phones use operating
systems, which are the basis for application
development. Some smart phones can be connected
to an external screen and keypad, which creates a
working environment, similar to that of a laptop or a
desktop computer. Some operating systems for
Smartphone are: GoogleAndroid, Symbian,
Blackberry, PalmPilot, and WindowsPhone.
Motherboard, MBO is computer's basic
circuit, to which all computer components
are connected, directly or indirectly. Devices
are connected to the motherboard through a
system bus. System bus connects all
devices, ensures data flow and
communication between different devices
using predefined protocols.
 Protocol describes a manner in which
communication between devices is defined. It
enables them to address each other and defines
how they should look for each other on either
system bus or network. Buses can, according to
the purpose, be divided into:
 Serial-USB, Firewire, etc.
 Parallel-AGP, PCI, etc.
 Mixed-Hyper Transport, InfiniBand, PCI, etc..
Central Processing Unit (CPU or processor) is a central part
of a computer (and can be referred to as the computer’s
“brain”). It manages all other computer parts, monitors their
mutual communication and performs arithmetic-logical
operations. Processor speed is measured in hertz (or
megahertz or gigahertz). Most famous manufacturers for
personal computer processors are Intel and AMD.

Cache is a small capacity memory which allows quick access

to data. By storing data from working memory in cache, the
speed of communication between processor and RAM is
increased. Microprocessors use three levels of fast cache, L1,
L2 and L3, used to store often used data.
 ROM (Read Only Memory) is a type of permanent,
internal memory that is used solely for reading. BIOS
(Basic Input/Output System), a program which is
located in a separate ROM on the motherboard, and
defines, as the name suggests, basic input/output
system, is a good example. Please note that not all
BIOS programs are stored in ROM.

RAM (Random Access Memory) is a working memory

in which analyzed data and programs are stored, while
computer runs. It allows reading and writing data, and is
deleted/cleared when the computer shuts down.
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is a place for permanent data storage (it
does not delete/clear when computer shuts down). Its features are:
large capacity, faster performance in comparison to optical devices
but slower in comparison to RAM and are used for permanent data
storage. We can distinguish between internal and external hard
drives.

Floppy Disk Drive is used for storing and reading data stored on a
floppy disk. Disk capacity is 1.44MB. Before memory stick and a
wider usage of CD recorders, it was used as data carrier. 'Modern
memory sticks have a memory capacity measured in GB while floppy
disks only have memory capacity of 1.44MB, indicating that floppy
disks are becoming obsolete.
CD-ROM drive is used for reading CD media.

DVD drive is used for reading DVD discs. DVD disc capacity ranges
from 4.7 to 18GB.

Soundcard is a device used for sound creation and production by

means of computer speakers.

Graphics card is responsible for image processing and displaying it on

a monitor. It has its own graphics processor and memory. Image quality
depends on the strength of these components.

Modem enables computers to communicate via telephone lines. They

connect computers to the Internet.

Connectors or ports are slots visible in the back and the front side of a
computer.
COMMON INPUT /OUTPUT PORTS
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is used to connect various devices
(mouse, keyboard, USB memory).

Serial port is used for example in connecting a mouse (labeled

COM1 or COM2). Parallel port is used for connecting a local

printer (LPT1 or LPT2).

Network port is used for connecting computers to a network.

Firewire - used for connecting computers and audio-video devices (digital

cameras, etc.).
Measurement units

Bit (binary digit) is the basic unit used to measure the amount of
information. A byte or octet contains eight bits.

1 KB (kilobyte)- 1024 B (approx. 1000 B)

1 MB (megabyte)- 1024 KB (approx. 1000 KB)
1 GB (gigabyte) -- 1024 MB (approx. 1000 MB)
1 TB (terabyte) – 1024 GB (approx. 1000 GB)
ROM (Read Only Memory) is a type of permanent, internal
memory that is used solely for reading. BIOS (Basic Input/Output
System), a program which is located in a separate ROM on the
motherboard, and defines, as the name suggests, basic
input/output system, is a good example

RAM (Random Access Memory) is a working memory in which

analyzed data and programs are stored, while a computer runs. It
allows reading and writing data, and is deleted/cleared when the
computer shuts down.
BASIC TYPES OF STORAGE DEVICES

CD (Compact Disc) is an optical disc used for data storage. The

standard capacity of a CD is 700MB. CD-R is used for reading and writing
data one time-only, while CD-RW for reading and writing data multiple
times.

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is an optical disc which is, due to the larger
capacity (about 4.7 GB), mostly used for video storage.

Blu-ray disc (BD)- the successor to DVD, is an optical disk storage, it

comes in different capacities, depending on how many layers it has and
the capacity of each layer. Currently, the capacity of one layer is between
27 GB and 33 GB, while the overall capacity is the product of the number
of layers and capacity of each layer.
USB Stick is a data storage device. It features small dimensions,
relatively high capacity, reliability and speed. It belongs to the type of
flash memory that remembers data, even when not under voltage i.e. they
do not need electric power to maintain data integrity.

There is a difference between an internal hard disk drive, which is

embedded in the computer case, and an external hard disk drive, which
is connected to a computer by using an appropriate cable or USB port,
and is usually used to transfer data from one computer to another or for
backup.
Input devices:

Mouse is an input device that facilitates work with the graphical

user interface (GUI). The mouse transmits hand movements and
the screen displays the cursor (mouse pointer) movements.
They are divided into mechanical and optical (with respect to a
transfer movement), and wired and wireless (with respect to
connection).

Trackball, unlike a mouse, is not movable. Hand movements

are transmitted to the screen by rolling the ball which is located
on the upperside of the device.

Keyboard is used for data entry and issuing commands. They

can also be wired or wireless.
Scanner is used to load data (image, text, etc.) from the printed
material into a computer. The result of scanning is an image, but
with special programs, if we scan the text, we can get a text as a
result. Software used to recognize text from image is called a
text recognition tool.

Touchpad is used for transmission of hand movement, but

unlike working with a mouse, the user is the one who
determines the position of the cursor by touching the touchpad.

Lightpen enables handwriting on screen and can be used as a

mouse. It requires an appropriate monitor type.
Joystick: mainly used in computer games. Unlike a mouse, it has many buttons
which allow control over game objects.

Microphone is a device that converts sound into an electrical signal, which can
be stored on a computer. It is mainly used for recording sound, communication
between players in online games, in combination with a web camera in video
conferencing, for converting voice into text on a computer (speech-to-text
processing (e.g., textual files or emails), etc.

Webcam is a camera that stores video signal in a format appropriate for video
transfer over the Internet in realtime.

Digital camera, unlike analog, stores photographs in digital format. It can be

directly connected to a computer and photographs can be downloaded.
Photograph quality is expressed in megapixels. More megapixels mean better
quality of photograph, however more memory is occupied.
Output devices:

Monitor displays images from the computer, it enables us to see, work and
control computers. In other words, working on a computer without a monitor would
be inconceivable. Common types of monitors, with regard to manufacturing
technology, are the CRT and LCD. CRT monitors have been present on the
market for a long time, and other technologies are pushing them out. They are
based on cathode tube technology. LCD monitors use liquid crystal technology.
In comparison with CRT monitors, LCD monitors use less electrical energy, do not
emit radiation and their price is higher, however due to smaller dimensions, more
attractive design and a good picture quality, they are pushing CRT monitors out of
the market. Monitor size is expressed by the size of screen diagonal and
measured in inches (''). Picture quality is expressed with the notion of resolution,
which is a number of horizontal and vertical dots (pixels) (e.g. 1920x1080).

Projector is a device used to project a computer image or other images from

independent devices, such as DVD players, Blu-ray player, etc. onto canvas or a
wall.
Printer is a device used for printing data from a computer onto
a paper. We distinguish between local printer (connected
directly to the computer) and network printer (connected directly
to network using a network card). Also, printers also differ
according to print technology: dot matrix, laser, inkjet, thermal
printer and plotter.

Dot matrix printers are the oldest, with the lowest price of
print per paper, they are slow, make a lot of noise while printing,
and are mostly appropriate for printing text.

Laser printers are similar to photocopy devices when it

comes to technology. They have exceptional print quality, speed
and are quiet. Downsides of laser printers are their high price
and high price of toners.
 Inkjet printers have a high print quality (somewhat lower in
comparison with laser printer), they are quiet while printing, and have
low initial investment. Ink price, especially color ink, can cost as much
as the printer itself. Printing technology is based on ink dispersion from
container onto paper.

Plotter is used for printing large drawings (up to A0). They are
extremely expensive and used only for professional purposes, such as
in designing firms for printing technical drawings (blueprints).

Thermal printer, as its name states, leaves a print on the paper

by utilizing heat. They use paper sensitive to heat, feature small
dimensions; they are quiet while printing and relatively cheap. They
are usually used for printing receipts, and owing to that they are
called POS printer (printer of sale). Also, they are used as calculator
printers and due to their small dimensions, as portable printers.
Input and output devices

Storage devices, due to necessity for writing

and reading data, they are classified as
input/output devices.

Touch screen (i.e. monitor sensitive to touch) is

out device while displaying computer image, and
at the same time input device while receiving
manual orders.
 Software is, unlike hardware, intangible part of the computer. It consists of a
sequence of commands, written according to strict rules. Programs are
written by programmers, in various programming languages.

Software types:
Operating system is a program which manages computer hardware. First
computers did not have operating systems; they had programs that were
directly loaded into the computer (e.g. punchcards). Today, computers have
an operating system which loads into the computer's memory during its
startup. Computer functions are based on its operating system. Within
operating system, drivers (responsible for the functioning of a computer) and
various utility programs (responsible for the functionality of a computer) are
installed. The most famous operating systems are:

1. Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Knoppix,...) - open source software

2. Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, 7,...) - proprietary software
3. Mac OS X (Cheetah, Panther, Snow Leopard,...) - proprietary software
Application Software (Utility programs) are
all programs that users use to perform
different tasks or for problem solving. Users,
according to his/her needs, install the
appropriate utility software. Computer
functions and tasks that computers can
perform are defined by the installed utility
software. Utility software can often cost more
than computer hardware unless the software
is open source.
Common utility softwares are:

Text processing software is used for creating and forming

text documents and nowadays, they can contain images, charts
and tables. Examples of such programs are OpenOffice.org
Writer (open source software) and MicrosoftWord (proprietary
software).

Spreadsheet calculations software is used for performing

various calculations and presentation of results in charts.
Examples of such programs are OpenOffice.org Calc Writer
(open source software) and MicrosoftExcel (proprietary
software).
 Software for presentations is used to create professional presentations
that consist of slides with graphical and textual elements. Such a
presentation can afterwards be displayed as a "slide show” by using a
projector. Examples of such programs are OpenOffice.org Impress (open
source software) and MicrosoftPowerPoint (proprietary software).

Software for creating and managing database helps to manage a

collection of structured data. Examples of such programs are
OpenOffice.org Base (open source software) and MicrosoftAccess
(proprietary software).

Common utility software installed on a computer:

- office programs - OpenOffice.org, Microsoft Office
- antivirus programs – Avira, Sophos, Kaspersky, Antivir etc.
- Internet browser: Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari etc.
- programs for image editing: Adobe Photoshop, Canvas, CorelDraw, Draw etc.
 Types of networks according to their size:

 LAN (Local Area Network) - a network that covers a

relatively small geographical area- it connects computers
within a firm or household by wire,
 WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) - a network that
covers a relatively small geographical area - it connects
computers within a firm or household wirelessly,
 WAN (Wide Area Network)- a network that covers a relatively
large geographical area - it connects a greater number of
computers and local networks.
INTERNET, INTRANET, EXTRANET

Internet ("network of all networks") is a global system comprised of interconnected computers and
computer networks, which communicate by means of using TCP/IP protocols. Although, in its
beginnings, it emerged from the need for simple data exchange, today it affects all domains of
society. For example:

Economy: Internet banking (paying bills, transferring funds, access to account, access to credit
debt, etc.), electronic trading (stocks, various goods, intellectual services, etc), etc.
Socializing: social networks, forums...

Information: news portals, blogs etc.

Healthcare: diagnosing disease, medical examinations (for people living on an island or in other
remote places, some examinations, that require a specialist, can be done remotely), making
appointments for medical examinations, the exchange of medical data between hospitals and
institutes, surgery and remote surgery monitoring

Education: online universities with webinars (web + seminar), websites with tutorials, expert
advice, Ideas Worth Spreading @ www.TED.com , etc.
Internet really does have many applications and a huge social
impact. Perhaps the most important trait is information
exchange, because information exchange among people
enables collaboration, collaboration of like-minded people leads
to ideas and actions in real life, and coordinated actions of
people results in social change.

Intranet is a private network of an organization to which only

authorized employees have access (login and password).

Extranet is part of Intranet, to which independent collaborators

have access.
 Ways to connect to the Internet:

 Dial-up Internet access method uses a

modem (56k) and a telephone line.
 Broadband is characterized by a high-
speed data transfer, permanent access
to the Internet, and thus the risk of
unauthorized access to the network or
your personal computer.
 Connection methods:

 Mobile-connecting by using a mobile network (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA)

 Satellite-commonly used in parts of the world where there is no proper

infrastructure and there is no other way of accessing the Internet
 Wireless (Wi-Fi) - data is transferred between computers by using radio
frequencies (2,4 GHz) and the corresponding antennaes
 Cable - connecting to the Internet through television cable network using a
cable modem
• Broadband is characterized by a high-speed data transfer, permanent access to the
Internet, and thus the risk of unauthorized access to the network or your personal
computer. In the beginning of broadband Internet access, due to underdeveloped
communication infrastructure, Internet providers charged based on the data traffic
but not time spent on the Internet (unlike dial-up Internet access). Today, in large
cities, telecommunications infrastructure is developed, therefore Internet providers
do not charge money based on the time spent on the Internet or the amount of
transferred data but they do charge by access speed.
E-learning consists of all forms of
learning and/or knowledge transfer that
are based on electronic technologies.
This term will mostly be used to
describe learning and/or dissemination
of knowledge without direct teacher-
student contact, while using ICT
technology.
The Five (5) Levels of Technology Integration in Teaching
