• This slide explains what makes a computer work.


• Hardware (The Physical): Parts you can touch, such as the
Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, and the System Unit (CPU).
• Software (The Virtual): Programs that tell the hardware what to
do, like Windows, macOS, or your Web Browser.
• Input vs. Output: * Input: Keyboard and Mouse (how you give
commands).
• Output: Monitor and Printer (how the computer shows results).
Page 3: Getting Started with the Operating
System
• Focus on the "Desktop" environment (Windows or Mac).
• The Desktop: Your main workspace where icons and folders live.
• The Taskbar/Dock: The bar at the bottom used to switch between
open programs.
• The Start Menu: Your "Main Menu" to find all installed
applications and settings.
• Files and Folders: Think of a Folder as a physical drawer and a
File as a single piece of paper inside it. Organization is key!
Page 4: Internet and Email Safety

• Essential skills for staying connected and secure.


• Web Browsers: Using Google Chrome, Edge, or Safari to visit
websites.
• Search Engines: How to use Google or Bing to find information
using "Keywords."
• Email Basics: Composing, sending, and checking your Inbox.
• Staying Safe: * Never share passwords.
• Don't click on suspicious links or "Pop-ups."
• Verify the sender before opening email attachments.
Page 5: Common Keyboard Shortcuts &
Troubleshooting
• Tips to work faster and solve simple problems.
• Essential Shortcuts:
• Ctrl + C: Copy
• Ctrl + V: Paste
• Ctrl + Z: Undo (The "Life Saver")
• Ctrl + S: Save
• Basic Troubleshooting: * "When in doubt, reboot." Restarting
fixes 90% of minor glitches.
• Check your cables if the screen or mouse isn't working.
• Use the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) if a program freezes.
