First Term JSS3 Computer Science Lesson Note

Week One: Search Engines

INTRODUCTION:

A Search engine can be defined as a software program that assists a user in locating various websites or information over the internet. A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a line of results often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs). The information may be a mix of web pages, images, and other types of files. To learn more, click here.

Week Two: Uses of search engines

INTRODUCTION:

The benefit of search engines, to individuals and society, is immerse. In fact, it is doubtful if the web would be as advantageous and essential to so many if it were not for search engines. Certainly, the e-commerce environment would be much different if it were not for search engines, which provide access to many small to medium size enterprises. To learn more, click here.

Week Three and Four: Digital Divide

INTRODUCTION:

Digital divide refers to the gap between people with effective access to digital and information technology and those with very limited or no access at all. The Digital Divide, or the digital split, is a social issue referring to the differing amount of information between those who have access to the Internet (specially broadband access) and those who do not have access. The term became popular among concerned parties, such as scholars, policymakers, and advocacy groups, in the late 1990s. To learn more, click here.

Week Five and Six: Digital Literacy

INTRODUCTION:

Digital literacy is the ability to effectively and critically navigate, evaluate and create information using a range of digital technology. It requires one to recognize and use the power to manipulate and transform digital media to distribute pervasively and easily adapt them to a new form.

Digital literacy does not replace traditional forms of literacy. It builds upon the foundation of the traditional form of literacy. Digital literacy is the knowledge, skills, and behaviours used in a broad range of digital devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop PCs, all of which are seen as a network rather than computing devices. Digital literacy initially focused on digital skills and stand-alone computers, but the focus has moved from stand-alone to network devices. To learn more, click here.

Week Seven and Eight: Database

INTRODUCTION:

A database is a collection of data organized in a manner that allows access, retrieval and use of data. In a manual database, it can be recorded on paper and stored in a filing cabinet. While in a computerized database, it is stored in an electronic format on a storage media. 

database is a collection of information that is organized so that it can easily be accessed, managed, and updated. In one view, databases can be classified according to types of content: bibliographic, full-text, numeric, and images. To learn more, click here.

Week Nine and Ten: Spreadsheet

INTRODUCTION:

A Spreadsheet application is a productivity software in which a computer user can manage personal and business finance with the help of a spreadsheet program.

spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for the organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets were developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array is a model–view–controller element that may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.
