Preface
The national curriculum Framework, 2005, recommends that children’s life at school must be
linked to their life outside the school. This principle makes a departure from the legacy of bookish
learning which continues to shape our systems and causes a gap between the school, home,
community and the workplace.
The student workbook on “Information Technology (IT)” is a part of the qualification package
developed for the implementation of National Vocational Education Qualification Framework
(NVEQF), an initiative of ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India to
set common principles and guidelines for a nationally recognized qualification system covering the
schools, vocational education and training institutions, technical education institutions, college and
universities. It is envisaged that the NVEQF will promote transparency of qualifications, cross-
sectoral learning, student qualifications, thus encouraging life long learning.
This student workbook, which form a part of vocational qualification package for student’s who have
passed class VIII or equivalent examination, was created by group of experts. The IT-ITeS skill
development council approved by the national skill development corporation (NSDC) for the IT/ITes
industry developed the national occupation standards (NOS). The national occupation standards are
a set of competency standards and guidelines endorsed by the representatives of IT industry for
recognizing and assessing skills and knowledge needed to perform effectively in the workplace.
The CBSE has developed learning materials (units) for the vocational qualification package in
IT/ITes sector for NVEQF levels 1 to 4 ; level 1 is equivalent to class IX. Based on NOS,
occupation related core competencies (knowledge, skills and abilities) were identified for
development of curriculum and learning modules (units).
This student workbook attempts to discourage rote learning and to bring about necessary flexibility
in offering of courses, necessary for breaking the sharp boundaries between different subject areas.
The workbook attempts to enhance this endeavor by giving higher priority and space to
opportunities for contemplation and wondering, discussion in small groups and activities requiring
hands on experience.
Any suggestions, feedback from the readers for improvement in the future editions of the volume shall
be heartily welcomed.

Introduction Just a few years back, people used to pick up paper and pen to do all
their calculations. A good knowledge of mathematics was required to solve complicated
problems related to calculations and yet the process was quite time consuming. People
used to fill in lot of pages in their diaries with the contact address and phone numbers of
their friends, relatives and clients. A great effort used to go in searching for information
from large number of pages of different books and notebooks. Big companies used to
invest a lot of amount in transportation of their experts to various work locations to solve
day to day problems. People used to communicate through
traditional mails – which used to take 3 to 10 days time to reach destinations. Today,
Information Technology (IT) has a great influence on all aspects of our life. Almost all
work places and our lives are getting automated with the help of IT tools and its
applications. IT is acquiring, processing, storing and disseminating numerical, textual,
audio and video form of information with the help of electronic machine, computing
instructions and network applications. Moreover, knowledge of IT is an essential
component to prepare the current generation to work in these environments to equip
them with various aspects of it such as understanding the concept of IT and its scope,
operating a computer, using various office tools, using Internet etc. This chapter will
deals with the basics of IT.

Element 1: Basics of Computer System A computer system includes

software and hardware together to make it perform the required tasks. Software is a
collection of instructions and related data that tells a computer what to do and how to
do. In other words, software is a conceptual entity, which contains a set of instructions
(computer programs) with associated documentation related to the operations of a data
processing system; whereas, computer hardware is a collection of electronic and other
peripheral units, which enables software to perform desired operations. And, there is an
important software, known as Operating system (OS) specially designed to establish the
communication between various hardware devices and software loaded on a computer
system.
“A computer system is a programmable machine designed to perform arithmetic and

logical operations to produce meaningful results in desired format”
A computer system is broadly divided into three units – Input Unit, Central Processing
Unit (CPU) and Output Unit. Input unit helps the user to enter raw data and instructions
into the computer system, central processing unit performs the required operations as
per given instructions and at the end output unit produces meaningful results in the
desired format for the user.
Let us understand this concept with the help of an example - What information will you
require to calculate the amount to be paid to shopkeeper for buying several pieces of a
branded pen? You will require its Unit Price and Quantity procured by you – So Unit
Price and Quantity will become the raw data to be entered by you through the input unit.
Now, you need to multiply both these values to know the Amount to be paid to the
shopkeeper – So Multiplication of these two values will become the operation, which will
be performed by the CPU and the Amount, which is the result will be on the Output unit
of a computer system.
The CPU is further divided into three parts (i) control unit (CU), (ii) arithmetic & logic unit
(ALU) and (iii) memory unit (MU). Inside CPU, Control unit acts as a receptionist and a
manager of a company. It receives each and every instruction from user and
coordinates between different parts to perform various operations. Arithmetic and logic
unit acts as an accountant of a company, which performs all the mathematical and
logical calculations. And memory unit acts as a temporary store of a company, where
small amount of data is stored while other operations are being performed. In addition to
these units, a computer system also has secondary storage device to hold or store large
amount of data for later use by various applications running on it. Figure 1.1 illustrates
the interconnection of these units and secondary storage device. -3-

Figure 1.1: Block diagram of a Computer System
Now, you must be wondering how you can recognize these units in the form of real
devices in a personal computer system. You might have seen a device having several
buttons (known as keys) with alphabets and numbers, this device is known as
keyboard, which acts as an input device of the computer system. You might have also
seen another oval shaped device with two/three buttons in front, this device is known as
mouse, which is also an input device of the computer system. Further, you can see a
vertically standing/horizontally places box/case with an on/off/reset button – this
cabinet/case is known as CPU cabinet, which also contains place to hold secondary
storage devices such as hard disk to hold large amount of data and instructions and
Compact Disc (CD)/Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)/Blue Ray drive to keep data on portable
discs. One of the most common output devices is LCD/LED/Monitor, which is used as
output unit to display the results coming out from a computer. The computer system
may also have some more additional devices connected with it to act as input and
output devices as per the requirement of an individual work. For example, Input/Output
device
-4- Purpose Sample Requirement
Mic/mike Used to take the audio input To record nursery rhymes in the
system Scanner Used to accept digital input from a paper picture/image/document.
To scan a picture that is to be included in an assignment
Camera Used to accept image/video
inputs
-5-
To take pictures of students for identity cards. Barcode Reader
Used to read barcode To read Barcodes present on books being issued/returned in the
School library. Printer Used to print output on paper To print an assignment on paper
Speaker Used for audio output To listen to Nursery Rhymes from
the system
The memory unit of CPU is further divided into two components, one is known as
Random Access Memory (RAM) to take care of intermediate storage of data while
working on a computer system and another Read Only Memory (ROM) to keep the
essential instructions written and stored by the manufacturer to load operating system
and take care of basic input/output operations – also referred as BIOS i.e. Basic Input
Output System.
In the computer, the data is stored in the form of Bits and Bytes. Bit (Binary Digit
represented by 0 or 1) is the smallest storage unit, 8 Bits combined together form a
single byte, which in turn represent a single character. Let us see an example, if the
name “RAVI” is required to be stored in computer, it will need 4 bytes in the computer’s
memory. The following table represents other higher units of computer memory.
Memory unit Relationship with earlier memory unit In equivalent Bytes
Kilo Byte (KB) 1 Kilo Byte = 1024 Bytes(or 210 Bytes) 1024
Mega Byte (MB) 1 Mega Byte = 1024 Kilo Byte(or 210 KB) 1024x1024
Giga Byte (GB) 1 Giga Byte = 1024 Mega Byte(or 210 MB) 1024x1024x1024
Tera Byte (TB) 1 Tera Byte = 1024 Giga Byte(or 210 GB) 1024x1024x1024x1024
RAM and ROM discussed in the above paragraph constitute Primary Memory. Now, let
us discuss in detail about the various Secondary Storage Devices. The secondary
storage devices are basically used to store large amount of data (with capacity in the
range of 20 GB to 2 TB) permanently on computer, i.e. the data is retained even when
the system is switched off. Hard Disc is one of the most important secondary storage
devices, which is used to hold (store) operating system, office applications, utility
software and the user’s data, etc. It is usually fitted in the cabinet of CPU, so that it
cannot be easily removed from the computer system. Apart from hard disk, one can
always use additional (portable) secondary storage devices such as Compact Disk (CD
with a storage capacity of 750 MB), Digital Versatile Disk (DVD with a capacity of
around 4.5 GB), Blue-ray Disk (with a storage capacity of around 25 GB/50GB), Pen
Drives (with a storage capacity of 512 MB to 32 GB), Memory Stick (with a storage
capacity of 512 MB to 32 GB).
Figure 1.2: CPU Cabinet Back
Panel
Now, let us connect/check the connections between various parts of a personal

computer. Try to locate all the sockets or ports, which are present behind the CPU
Cabinet as shown in Figure 1.2. Some of the common sockets/ports are power socket
for connecting power cable, PS2 ports for connecting Mouse & Keyboard, USB Port for
connecting USB devices such as mouse, keyboard, printer, pen drive etc., VGA port for
connecting Monitor/Screen. Connect Monitor with VGA cable, mouse & keyboard with
PS2/USB cable and power on the CPU after connecting power cable. Your computer
should display some message from the manufacturer and then it should start the
Operating System (boot up with the operating system). Once the booting process is
over, you will see the desktop – the first screen you see in the beginning, to allow you to
chose and start the application of your choice.

Apart from the above, let us now try to understand a little bit about the parallel port,
which is now phasing out and apparently missing in all the latest personal computers. A
parallel port is a type of interface found on computers for connecting various peripherals
as shown in Figure 1.4. It is also known as a printer port. The IEEE 1284 standard
defines the bi-directional version of the port, which allows the transmission and
reception of data bits at the same time.

Element 2: Laying hands on Computer System As you are now, familiar
with the basics of a computer system and you could now switch on your computer
system, you must be curious to work on the system. Look at the screen – you will find
some pictures and text present on the various parts of the screen. A sample view of the
desktop and its various components are illustrated in Figure 1.5.
Desktop - A desktop is a computer display area of windows that contains the various
objects one might find in the computer. On the desktop of your computer, you may find
pictures with the following labels (i) My Computer or Computer – it contain all the
storage areas of your computer (Hard Disk, Floppy Disk, CD/DVD etc.), (ii) Recycle Bin
– it contains all the deleted content of your computer, (ii) My Network Places or
Network – it contains the information of interconnected computers (if any), (iv) My
Documents or Documents – it contains a common area to store various types of files
on the computer. You may find some more pictures on the desktop with self-
explanatory labels. All these pictures, which you see on screen, are known as “icons”.
At the bottom of desktop, you can see a bar (known as Taskbar), left side of which may
contain a Start button, right side may contain date time & active device/utility information
and the center of the taskbar may have some shortcuts & active applications. Shortcuts
are the direct links to help the user to start the application, which may be stored
anywhere on the computer.

It is also important for you to know, which area of desktop will perform an operation on
left click of a mouse button. You can click on any shortcut or buttons, to start an
application or to perform the desired task. Now, just look at the figure 1.7 to view a
sample menu and sub-menu display, which you will see after clicking the Start Menu.
Here, you will see various options you can choose from. The common ones are: (i) Help
& Support to provide documented form of basic help information to work on the
computer, (ii) Search to help you searching for an applications or a file, (iii) Settings to
customize various settings (Display, Hardware, Software etc.) of the computer, (iv)
Documents to provide you quick links to all recent documents, which were
opened/modified recently on the computer, (v) Programs to display a submenu with list
of various applications available on the computer to work on. The Start menu also gives
you an option to Log Off/Shut Down/Turn Off the computer. These options may vary
from version to version and OS to OS. You can easily identify them, as you will find
similar names for them.
Let us now, discuss about some common applications, which come along with the
operating system. Notepad is one such application, which allows you to type in the
content in a text file, save it on the hard disk and print the same, if required.
-12
-
Figure 1.6: Start Menu and Program
Menu
In My Computer or Computer, you will find a list of all the Secondary Storage device(s)
available on your computer. These drives are represented in the form of alphabets (from
A: to Z:). For example C: Drive normally represents the first hard disk present in your
system, D: Drive may represent the second hard disk or CD/DVD Drive. A: and B:
Drives normally represent Floppy Drives, last alphabets are normally used to represent
Network Drives (i.e., the hard disk or DVD drive of another computer). A sample content
is shown below in Figure 1.7:
Figure 1.7:
Drives
The data on computer can be organized in files and folders. Files are the immediate
container of the content created by you using a particular tool/application. Like using
Notepad, you create a Text file “REPORT.TXT” containing report of a particular program
organized in your school, you might create another text file “LESSON1.TXT” containing
a list of assignments to be given in a class and using paint tool, you might create a file
“MYCREATION.BMP”. All these are known as “files”. When you have many files loaded
or stored on the computer, you would like them to be organized in separate groups to
manage your files easily. You can create Folders on computer to represent these
groups, where each folder can hold any number of file(s) or sub- folder(s). For example,
you can create a folder as Movies with sub-folders as Hindi and English to contain
Hindi Movie Files and English Movies Files respectively, and you may create a Folder
with name Academics with sub-folders as School Work, Homework and Downloaded
resources to hold related files. Figure 1.8 illustrates a Folder as “CBSE VOCATIONAL
2012” with its content as Files “ITBookReference.txt, Logo.JPG, Excercise1.odt,
Expenses.ods, Class9Lesson1.odp, RESUME.pdf”.

Let us see the use of different tools, to decide which tool to be opted for a particular
shape or design. You will use the pencil tool to freely draw any shape using requiring a
thin tip. The Figure 1.14 illustrates some of the drawing made with the help of pencil
tool. Before drawing any shape or design, you can choose the color of pencil
accordingly.

Figure 1.14: Drawings using Pencil
tool
You will use the Brush or Air Brush tool to freely draw any shape using requiring a thick
tip. The brush tool will have the solid color tip, where as the Air Brush will have dotted
tip for drawing. The Figure 1.15a and Figure 1.15b illustrate the drawings made with the
help of Brush and Air Brush tools respectively. Here also, you can choose the color for
your Brushes accordingly.

In the adjacent Figure 1.16, you can see

square and rectangles drawn with the help
of rectangle tool, a shape with many
corners is made with the help of polydon
tool, circle and ellipse made with the help
of Ellipse tool, straight lines made with the
help of Line tool and the bottom right of it,
the curved lines are made with the help of
Curve Tool. Here also, you can choose the
color before selecting the tool accordingly.
You can also note that, while using any of
these tools, you chose the thickness of the
line required in the drawing.
Any of the drawing, which is closed with a

boundary, such as rectangle, circle or any
other shape, in which starting point of line
and end point of line meet to form a closed
figure, can be filled with a color with the
help of Fill With Color tool. The same can
be seen in the adjacent Figure 1.17. Just
note all the closed figures such as Square,
Rectangle, Polygon, Circle, Ellipse and
Rounded Rectangle are filled with different
colors with the help of Fill With Color.
Figure 1.17: Fill with Color

While drawing any picture, if you wish to select and move/copy any portion of the
drawing to any other part of the drawing, you can do so by Select tools – Free Form
Select tool or (Rectangular) Select Tool. Figures 1.18a and Figure 1.18b illustrate the
example of selecting and moving the portion of a picture using Free Form Select and
Rectangle Select tools respectively

Element 3: Creation/Customizing of Files and Folders
A file in computer terminology can be considered as the modern counterpart of paper

documents which traditionally were kept in offices and libraries. The term file is used in
computers for a block of arbitrary information, or resource for storing information. In
element 2, you have already seen two types of files – Text File or Picture File. Some
more text and picture files icons are shown below for your reference with filenames
Bill_Gates.jpg, Thoughtsofpranav.txt, Steve.jpg, pranav_mistry.jpg, AmoutSteveJobs.txt
and Microsoft.jpg.

Element 4: Establishing Internet connectivity and Internet

Browser
To start with Internet, you should first know, whether you have the Internet account
provided by any of the Internet Service Provider or not. VSNL, BSNL, Airtel and
Reliance are some major services providers in India, who help you to get connected on
World Wide Web.
Type of Internet connections: Cable operator’s Internet connection, Broadband

connection, Leased Line.
The home users normally take internet connection from Cable operators or they
subscribe broadband connections from major internet service providers. The speed of
such connections varies from 256 kbps to 2 mbps. Such connections are shared with
many users at the same time and so its speed varies depending on various users’
internet activity at that point of time.
The corporate users prefer subscribing a leased line internet connection for faster,
effective and reliable connectivity. The speed of such connections varies from 1 mbps to
100 mbps. These connections are provided with the help of dedicated connectivity with
service provider’s internet server.
Internet Browser – It is the software, which helps you to access web pages from
various websites. There are various Internet browsers available such as Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer comes
by default alongwith Microsoft Windows operating system and other browsers can be
downloaded freely from their relevant websites.
Searching for information with the help of browser – there are a number of search
engines such as google.com, yahoo.com, bing.com etc. Any of these search engines
can be loaded on the browser to search for specific information from world wide web.
Basic tips to search or information using search engines: Search is simple: just type
whatever comes to mind in the search box, hit Enter or click the [Search] button, and
the search engines such as Google will search the web for content that's relevant to
your search. Most of the time, you will be able to find exactly what you are looking for
just by typing the words in search box.
However, the following tips can help you make the most of your searches.
1. If you type the words [India and America] will give different results than when
you type only [India] or only [America]
-32
-
2. Every word, what you type as ‘search word’ matters. Generally, all the words
you put in the query are used by the search engines. 3. Search is always case
insensitive. A search for [Delhi CAPITAL of India] is the
same as a search for [delhi capital of india ]. 4. Generally, punctuation symbols are
ignored, such as @#$%^&*()=+[]\. 5. To make sure that your search engine returns
the most relevant results, there
are some exceptions to the rules above, which are as follows. Specific tips for
better searches Keep the searching text (word or words) simple. If you are
looking for a particular school, just enter its name, or as much of its name as you
can recall. If you're looking for a particular product, place, or concept - start with its
name. Think how the page you are looking for will be written. Remember, a search
engine a computer program, and it is not a human. It is a program that matches
the words you give to pages on the world wide web. Use the words that are most
likely to appear on the web page. For example, instead of saying [pain in my
head], you should say [headache ], because that's the term a medical page will
use. The query [which five countries produce maximum coconuts in the world] is
very clear to us, but the document that gives the answer may not have those
words. Instead, use the query [Top 5 coconut producing countries], because that is
probably what the right page will say.

Services
Email is the best way to communicate with anyone anywhere with the help of Internet
connection. There are a number of free email service providers, you can create an
email account and can start sending, receiving and forwarding messages in the form of
Email. Gmail (gmail.com), Yahoo Mail (mail.yahoo.com), Rediffmail (rediffmail.com) and
Hotmail (hotmail.com) are few examples of free email account providers. The email
addresses contain the username@serviceproders website address. If abc.com is the
service provider and you created an account using name kamransiddu, the email
address will become “[email protected]”. Remember, the email address cannot
contain a space in it. It means and address “gagan [email protected]” will not be a
valid email address.

the mails sent by you from your email account. Compose mail – it is a link, which
opens the option for you to type in the Receiver’s Email/Target Email address(es),
Subject of the Email, content of the email and gives you the option to send this mail to
all the people whose address(es) is/are mentioned. In compose mail, Target Email
address(es) can be typed in To( or/and cc or/and bcc) option. Here, cc means carbon
copy, if you want to add more addresses of receivers, who are supposed to receive this
email. In this case, all the receivers will be able to see all the email addresses to which
this email is sent, whereas bcc means blind carbon copy, here also you can write the
more email addresses of receivers, but these email addresses will not be visible in the
receivers’ emails. If you enter more than
one addresses in any one of these options, you can separate address(es) with the help
of comma (,). Examples: To [email protected] Cc [email protected],
